Recovering From Foot Surgery

How filthy rich and do not understand Memory

Think you are the owner of Cargill, the largest U.S. private company that controls more or less, half the world's grain marketing, and reaches the end of the month. - You can, again to meet with accountants, I think, to have facts and figures that barely understand, instead of riding on horseback in the Club. Turn the cigar, sits in his office and summoned the Chief Auditor. More or less you explain something like this:

"Good morning, Mr. Cargill, here I bring the accounts that have already passed the relevant audits. First I want to congratulate him on his successful management. Observe, first , that in the past six months we achieved a net profit of 2,370 million dollars ... almost the same number as the entire previous year. At this rate we can achieve record profits ...

"And that," you say looking at infinity, because he can not land the data-is it too much money, right?

"Well look, with those benefits could secure one of the objectives of the millennium we all alone: \u200b\u200bthe education of all children. Not bad, right?

"Nothing wrong, of course, and tell me," you say without losing his composure, looking very erudite "and how it was possible if the months of the crisis food?

"Precisely. Look at this game called 'net operating profit. " That is, as we are a grain marketing company, "he tells the accountant, is the game where you collect the data from our farm, buy and sell grain. There have been very high profits compared to last year. With the food crisis the price of corn has risen abruptly, that margin is everything to us. It is a success, first in our Marketing Department, which has helped generate a feeling of lack of food, the Department of Biofuels ... non-stop selling and on the other side of the Department of soybean, which has held at key product in the stores to drive up the price ... everything your grandfather taught us, implemented millimeter.

- Yes, of course, the tactics of his grandfather, please follow .

"In the chapter on 'Extraordinary Income', are again that, extraordinarios." says the book with a giggle .- But you know who call, not the quantity, but because they correspond to our habitual activity. Here, basically we recorded all the benefits that our divisions Cargill Risk Management and Black River Asset Management achieved fictional speculation grain trade. What people more crafty! By managing key information supply and demand for grains, are the most prepared are they to make money on the futures market, traders in Chicago. You know, that was something of his dear father! And you missed

make a naive question. - But the G20 did not want to curb financial speculation with food? "Ha, ha," laughs the accounting- there who was great was its first vice president, Mr. Paul Conway, when Speaking before the meeting of the G20 said literally "the speculators are always an easy target, but the speculators caused food prices to soar in the second half of 2010. The more there are different types of players trying to use the derivatives markets, the more it reflects the true price of the goods. The blame should be restricted to bad weather and natural disasters. "

"Finally," he points out the accounting red numbers on that expenditure will also have an extraordinary item .... This is a donation to help Africa. "Perfect," I breathe you, that's fine, but most of that is money that I got to the population.

"Sure, do not worry, we are in contact with the charity of Bill Gates that drives industrial agriculture on the land ... sure someday ruling the accounting with jargon-will financial return.

Where Can I Play Pokemon Fire Red Online

live - Gustavo Duch

In many parts of the world are coming concordant information in the same direction: it seems that they are moving parts to generate a drastic change in the current agricultural model. If that thrives alter many things, be disorganized and can be the beginning of a revolution in this field, much more momentous than this so-called 'green revolution'. So all those people that we are concerned about the planet and its survival-that is ours, we will have to be attentive. Please raise the antennas and circulate the information they receive. More than ever we need to know what is brewing.

The first news that I had access to speak of an agriculture that produces more food per acre than industrial agriculture, which is fed us so much. Is it possible to increase these rates? If so, we would have an amazing effect, could mean greater self-sufficiency and better incomes for families, villages and countries that practice this renewed agriculture, leading to the ruin or near-disappearance of corporate power. The few large companies that have remained in the top of sale (and control) of seeds, animal genetics, fertilizers, pesticides ... can not compete against agriculture, they say, is functional with native seeds and traditional breeds recovering and revaluing strong and hardy, which does not use chemicals for their work and Makin 'Magic! not dependent on oil.

has also leaked that behind this are the agriculture and small farmers . Them and they are drivers, but as weirdoes who are, have no problem in sharing, teaching and transfer their knowledge. That is, it can be [and be] the end of a hegemony that has offices and easy chairs in the universities, technical schools or research institutes.

Some prestigious organizations that specialize in analyzing the impacts of agriculture, fisheries, livestock ... in short, all the current food system, "to hide or disguise, have analyzed this way to produce and distribute food, reaching two conclusions, again , colossal. On the one hand, they have confirmed that "While the current global food model is responsible for more than half of CO2 emissions that stifle the atmosphere", this one is handled with methods and processes that store more CO2 than they emit. Come on, agriculture, open windows and cools the planet besides being much more adaptable to future climate change.

And on the other have been able to study that as industrial agriculture with its excesses or conventional chemical, hormonal and tricks vary, have concern about the health effects of those working with it and who we eat it, this would revolutionize agriculture only rich in quality, freshness and wholesomeness.

Is this all they want to hide it, discredit it and boycott it? Agroecology, so it is known, knows very little virtues appreciated by the palate capitalist reduce consumption of chemicals, maintains and disseminates genetic material and depends on the farmer know. Nothing with which to enrich his pockets.

already know, spread the word, and be prepared. Our business.

Confirmation Letter For Church

Detectives on farms

were the years of war, hunger and skullduggery. But it was his childhood, he had no other and could not choose.

future in the village had a very off color and as many other families marched on the capital, advertised as the progress and development. There were not easy things, and although it seemed impossible, life managed to slightly more complicated. Not only was the work but missing the family to turn to or the garden to cultivate.

thousand ways were sought to succeed to that find one that allowed good years of work were marketers of animal protein, high-quality and inexpensive. Thanks to his contacts were made to bring eggs of the people, one by one, or a dozen dozen, sold in the poorest neighborhoods of the city. With the help of Nano, the donkey pulling the cart, and car salesman and he was carrying eggs.

The day the sick father asked him to take care of the business that was not complicated, let your Nano takes you, he knows this, which is where it stops there you have to come down to deliver and collect eggs. That will have no problem "was all he said.

Thus, the overnight left the child to become an entrepreneur of agribusiness. With a donkey as a teacher and a car as a technology.

All seemed to go as he had indicated. In the ups and downs in the neighborhood of the Powder, Nano exercising of their role. Front doors where the donkey stopped, he was always a lady or a gentleman interested in their merchandise. Sales were arranged and secured.

Faced with a house that also served as trade for the neighborhood-the donkey stopped, and the owner appeared Order 10 dozen eggs. He quickly closed the deal. But Nano started his usual place. Emburrado Stubborn and would not move, while on the threshold of trade-dwelling, egg buyer could not stop smiling.

"Your partner expects his 'mark-up', he said, showing a carrot in his hand. Those were times of 'bite' food on the black market. But everything has changed, and now, biting is a large scale are professional speculators that carrots are gold. For every one of his biting, thousands of people remain without food.

Taste Your Cervical Mucus

Between sea and mountain

Today

takes place in the town where I live, Gava, in the Baix Llobregat, the controversial self-determination referendum in Catalonia. Actually, "and with the clear intention to expand the number of voters who are supporters logically most of the YES-the consultation is open since yesterday, which was when I, walking with my wife and my future daughter, I went to the polls to give my opinion as a citizen also installed a few years here in this narrow strip of flat land between the sea and the mountains.

Citizens, who are often silent witnesses to unbelievers, through press and television news, of abuse of power, of the outrages and excesses of the maneuvers that can evade justice or even a moral responsibility to all a political class in all territories, from the Guadalquivir to the Empordà, only refers us to endorse.

By voting we can endorse, confirm or authorize a political or others, to either option, we can say YES to these full of corrupt politicians or instead say YES to these others who have been equally distracted by their morale. We also do not vote or vote blank and move well, anodically, to swell the statistics of the indolent, not wet vacuum or whose vote fell off the cliff of non-participation. Voting is so limited that almost never allows us to even say NO, to end a situation instead of countersign. So, before the elections to the legislatures themselves, I like the so-called referendum and so I wrote on my facebook:

"self-determination referendum for Catalonia Now, I want to say NO, as I did today-the attempt of the corrupt class regional policies to their benefit to using natural and legitimate feelings" identity "of the people to take over the powers now holds the equally corrupt political class. If you do not like your country if you do not like your world, do to change it, by reducing NO! "

And what I should add, for those who fall into the trap of those who cleverly exploit the logical sense of belonging to a land and history, "if you want to a free land, a terra lliure", with citizens as of right, with a government that effectively manage the resources everyone wins with the sweat of our brow and to consider the different cultures, languages \u200b\u200band identities in the territory that manages, is that they may not want the same for others?, Are you going to let Mancha and Leon, Cantabria and Murcia which do not enjoy that you want for your land and your people? That is why often show well against any nationalism (read: "Then and Now, my idea of \u200b\u200bnationalism"), I have argued that a nationalist is, above all, a selfish, because, while it is collected in itself and reduces the world to those who think like him, excludes all others.

Do I Need To Bring Formula To

What bullets do not solve

Article published in The European , 04/03/1911

At this point in the event there is no doubt about the particular vision shared by some political representatives as Nicolas Sarkozy, David Cameron and Catherine Ashton (to name the most obvious ) on the so-called 'European defense. " What we 'sold' in recent weeks as "prudent planning" and "evaluating all options" regarding the situation in Libya has been too well staged as an excuse to freeze any military intervention project had been coordinated European level (read about it Articles in Bruxelles2 'Comment the maritime planification de l'opération a été sur la Libye stoppée, coté EU' and ' Nicolas Sarkozy passe l'Europe de la Défense de l'histoire au broyeur '). All this despite what he says the Lisbon Treaty, despite the added value that supposedly justified the creation of a European External Action Service (just raise foreign policy at EU level to avoid the limelight and national dilemmas, as we have seen a Again in the case of strategic positioning French or German).

The European Union will walk the same path 15 years ago, is supporting the various structures of humanitarian action and monitoring of migration flows. Far is still the idea of \u200b\u200bintervening on behalf of the EU in international conflicts, but that fact should not minimize the importance of the support mission to be carried out and that 27 have already agreed.

Libya
mark in one way or another a step without precedent in the EU foreign policy . During the past two weeks, Member States have agreed to carry out two missions (beyond the fines and tax), the first one especially significant because 'mobilized' for the first time a contingent of military style to support and ensure humanitarian action (ie to achieve an objective outside of Community competence 'security'). The mission, under the code name 'Eufor Libya' will have two objectives that will perform according to the 'demands' that can make international organizations stationed in the area: a) manage and ensure security in refugee camps possible which is formed on the Libyan border and b) repatriating refugees and displaced persons (through an airlift and sea). The mission, scheduled starts in April, will be the legal basis of paragraph 26 of resolution 1970 of the UN and the EU decision was subsequently approved.

agreed
The second mission is the surveillance of borders. In this case the Union believed that it was not necessary so "prudent planning" for the February 19 and had begun the Frontex operation known under the code name for Hermes . The operation (civil and a portion of the resources used 'military') aims to monitor the arrival of boatloads of immigrants. The legal basis, as we are reminded in Article Collection Bruxelles2 is Article 67 and 77 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.

The Union will therefore to engage in humanitarian aid, an area in which the European community has shown particularly effective and responsive from the lesson of Yugoslavia, in spite of little interest and little 'revenue' political comparatively involved such action (in part why Member States have no more stick to the side in strengthening the 'European 'sector).

Here we have a before and after the it was European Commissioner and current Vice President of the Italian Senate Emma Bonino, Italian radical MEP internationally known for his activism in the field human rights and in particular for his fight for the rights of women. Emma Bonino is the model of some European politicians during the decade of the 90 (and associated 'relaunched' community) and had an important visibility as Rocard, Delors and Prodi (who included in his government as Minister for European Trade Policy International 2006).
was commissioner from 1996 to 1999 Fisheries Policy and Politics of Consumer Protection and director of the Community Humanitarian Office (ECHO ) (when the Office began to consolidate during the second half of the 90). ECHO is perhaps one of the most 'prolific' in terms of community integration. is currently one of the first direct or indirect contributing the major international development aid (as the Red Cross), and its budget is comparable to the budget that allocates U.S. aid (in contrast to foreign policy spend to 0.99 of what the U.S. spends on defense, as I recall in a previous article.)
worth remembering that the mission ECHO is based on the principles of humanity, non-discrimination and fairness, providing a very different nature of other bodies. While it is likely that the various crises in recent months pushed the element of 'conditionality' when economic aid to countries in need, it is also true that humanitarian aid remains one of the bastions of the Union precisely because represent exogenous assistance to political considerations. No wonder Georgieva Commissioner responsible for humanitarian aid and crisis management is the only one carrying a approved by the Financial Times.

Some remembered as the moment the wall fell, there was talk about the historic nature of Europe (in this case the West) as center of 'gravity' of the continent . Vision was intended to be an efficient undisguised narrative to bring the European countries like Poland or Hungary. The big words were accompanied by millionaires packages of grants and development aid (under the PHARE program) that you 'buy' a few still not convinced of the benefits of being 'European'. The award was none other than the entry in the most exclusive club in the world.

After all, far away is the time. The European Union has made the return trip at least three times in the last 20 years. They joined the two Europes, but today we have to stop to demand an integration without democracy is not convincing. Europe can not offer today PHARE program to the Mediterranean. Nor has the guts to implement military and political mechanisms that allow, at least symbolically, to have in the global geopolitical map. States for their part have no interest in promoting a European democracy that may overlap.

Europe and many of our representatives are still children of the famous Falconeri Tancredi. That in the legendary film that gives its name to ' Leopard' pronounced that for 'che tutto rimanga is Vogliamo come è, tutto che bisogno change! ". If we want everything to stay as it is, it is necessary that everything changes.

Blue Print Of A Hair Salon



I say from associations artisanal fisheries of Galicia that multinationals like salmon landed in front of their estuaries. "Companies that have salmon to school? Institutions "investigating the behavior of these jumping fish tracing rivers? No, it's just a buzzword to confuse what is an ecological and social outrage. And I, although these associations and brotherhoods know everything, I tell the story of what could happen. Just because he has passed.

-As rulers speech you the benefits of this new industry, jobs will be created .... And be granted permits, licenses and grants may all be smooth sailing. First ships will install, compared to the best laugh, portable dungeons. And in a flash-plasma will be full of salmon fry, prisoners of false progress.

Maybe a few years things are going well for companies that sell salmon to Europe and why not, a Japanese recovery. And the politicians you rub his face in your fatalism exhibited manifestations.

But at the time the contamination of excreta salmoniles, antibiotics and other products that will remedy their illnesses, released into the sea will cause problems for sustainable activities such as fishing and and harvesting of shellfish. Many salmon will be harvested to be installed, because the need of a good business is short-processing plants fishmeal, near beaches and natural sites.

happens that many salmon stacked is the perfect setting for virus replication (how we call the flu salmon?) Or parasites like sea lice, causing many deaths from pneumonia or itching. To rest in peace, know, to be installed in their landscapes, steaming salmon incinerators, which give them a last farewell.

And, sure as well if by 'natural causes' or' crisis Short-term ', when it's falling sales of salmon, the companies will cast tale, and the government of the day you propose to tax all possible efforts to "safeguard a landmark Galician industry." Then live the story.

So, as I tell

Strategy Playstation 1

I have a friend who does not believe in friendship and misinformation

I have a friend who does not believe in friendship. Think instead that we should all be treated equally, as known no more. And every time one of these known gives back or you will be disappointed in any way, create only tested his theory on friendship, whose main theorem reads: "No one deserves to be called friend if at some future time may betray what other hour was a great relationship. "

so my friend lives in a world surrounded by supporters, with whom he exchanged favors with which it interacts blameless and without passion, giving and receiving approximately equal parts and considering that it should consist of all loyalty.

And to that friend who never risk your heart, I would simply say that friendship, like love, does not occur in groups but one by one, it takes two. There are groups of friends-of course-but they break and disperse, evaporate, if they do not prevail in the unique relationships between each of the components of the group, because soon they will only cohesive entertainment and Fun, shared common characteristics, such as a single residence, the same hobby or a single work. And none of that has to do with friendship, that between the same or disparate elements but keep one thing in common: their intention. The intention that each one holds to the other to be honest and sincere, to defend him tooth and nail, without hesitation, before explaining what was wrong, the intention to continue this relationship even though the distance, doubt, or the weeds threaten destruction.

I have a friend who does not believe in friendship and sometimes when you look into your eyes, I'm afraid he's right.

In Nalda, La Rioja, an association of soñahacedoras were talking with the elderly in the population because their gardens for years remained abandoned to the forces to undermine their work. Years later, three women have regained some of those gardens that now-agroecologically-supply of fresh food and healthy to a hundred people in the region.

Dent On Headjoint Flute

2001: A Space Odyssey

Small
post to remember that earlier this month experienced an unprecedented event for the European media. For the first time two bloggers, editors Bloggingportal (the first compilation of blogs portal on the world community) were 'accredited' in a pilot project for 'cover' the EU Competitiveness Council (9 and 10 March).



You can read the impressions of europasionaria here @ and @ RonPatz here. Agree with @ europasionaria Córdoba, where we reminded the score of 'bloggers', I like the nickname euroblogger in this case does not seem that although the network society and undeniable part of 'a European integrated communication' concept which fortunately Susan River never ceases to improve and deepen (European Integrated Communication I and II .)

Without being a specialist in communication, I share many of the questions posed by such La Oreja de Europa. The way we define 'information' and 'view' is transformed, and do not think we should further explore the role for example of bloggers under the parameters that have structured traditional journalism. What future for the notion of 'professionalism' for example, in the sense of specialized training but also a profession 'laboral'-? What criteria define the sources from which we are informed, or perhaps moving towards a system depolarization and 'des-criteria ' information-?

In my opinion the presence of bloggers at the Council of the EU is beyond all possible debates certainly an innovative and positive news. Not so much because this is necessarily the primary way forward (?), But it is the first step to reconsider the questions that really matter: a) how do citizens have the information they crave, and need to exercise our rights and responsibilities, and b) how to make politics an open world, mature and brave.

The debate is not going anywhere. At the moment, infinite happiness to our players for their dedication and unquestionable 'professionalism' and responsibility to carry out the mission. They had a 'mandate' of the blogger world, but as if they did.

Mounting Front License Plate Bmw

Fast Food, Fast

occasion to post some entries that appeared during the past 10 days, which I found particularly relevant in a European perspective.

Starting with 'nuclear debate' following the sad events in Japan. EUWeekly (one of the posts necessary to continue the present continental) reminds us in his post ' Sortir du nucléaire, pour aller où? 'the need for' timed 'strategy to end the nuclear power source. One may have the potential 'desire' political and based on a very visceral and rational debate between the benefits and risks "of wanting to dispense with such an energy source, but this approach requires a 'realistic' target, starting to recognize that we need a strategy for the medium and long term. The elimination of nuclear plants without a strategy efficient and viable replacement would not get us very far. The policy plan should keep pace with the economic bet by investors in alternative sources and greater encouragement to research. Not all renewable offer a way for example (we would need only 'a few' million solar panels to produce energy from a single reactor, "Par quoi Remplacer Nucléaire you? '...). Without money and without alternatives to defend nuclear power is illusory, and even can lead to counterproductive situations.

precisely this lack of 'distance' is what Jean Quatremer criticizes Angela Merkel: ' Angela Merkel, the Chancelière nucléaire ' . A policy that has shown in earlier situations of being too 'slope' of public opinion when making policy decisions ' Libya: l'honneur perdu d'Angela Merkel ' (or, Kosmopolita ' German Diplomacy on Libya: a quick-and very good - Explanation' ). Trend which seems to have joined President Sarkozy at the gates of the cantonal elections (Exaps' star Sarkozy ', Le Monde' Libya: Monsieur Sarkozy joue avec le feu '). The truth is that 'haste' with which Sarkozy was quick to lead the military intervention in Libya, always a step ahead of multilateral summits should 'check' the pace and narrative of the intervention is somewhat outrageous. And if we remember the attitude that the French government remained for over two months in relation to the Arab revolution. The President's political obscenity Gallo does nothing to lower the possible force that leads to action told from multilateralism, international law, discretion, and above all humility (Bruxelles2 ' La méthode Sarkozy in Europe will mark pas. La France ne pas au Sommet convainc '). There is no single reason to be proud of having to act militarily in the XXI century (however necessary it may be) ...

I remember that back later this week to draw the lines that have been formally agreed As for the Covenant of the Euro ... Though it is quietly one of the progress that I think deserve a legitimate nickname of 'historic' in the process of European integration.

Madd Gear Pro Wheels Metal Core

Journalism


a few weeks ago on this blog wrote an article for nuclear energy. Today, after what happened at the Fukushima nuclear plant in Japan, and against all the tide of opinion aroused by television and the national media and international, I reaffirm in this, not only because I believe that what I wrote remains entirely true, but because in the past days I had to go, with real embarrassment, a nuclear alarm triggered and clearly exaggerated.

first thing to remember, all citizens at all times, is that journalism is no longer an information tool, as it was in its infancy, but essentially a means of propaganda and collective creation of opinion: television news in particular, will have space for everything that promises to show, to attract the attention of viewers, without the selection criteria of the scoop I check the relative importance to other news. Libya was at the beginning of March the most innovative and interesting international news was the culmination of the whole series of revolts that promised sweeping the Maghreb satraps. For days, 60% of television news time was occupied by the rebel advance, the imminent fall of Tripoli and Gaddafi, or the thousands of refugees fleeing the country. Then, on 11 March, a massive earthquake shakes Japan, across the world, and the numbers of dead and missing and, above all, an abundance of spectacular images of post tsunami in a country plagued with camera phones, overshadows the Gaddafi and the Libyan desert for days, with boats stranded on top of a roof or floating on the water buses as nut shells. And then, another story, even more spectacular although not as important, the destruction of Fukushima and the nuclear threat in the vicinity (establishing a safety perimeter of 20 km), breaks in the opening minutes of the news and overlaps the tsunami itself that caused it.

And there's the two stories, both centered in Japan, but very different consequences: firstly, one of the most intense earthquake ever recorded, followed by a tsunami that literally water and debris buried under tens of thousands of coastal residents. On the other hand, a nuclear power plant, among the dozens that have Japan, which starts cooling problems because of the devastation caused by the earthquake and whose perimeter radiation level increases to levels not considered harmful to health beyond the 30 km and, to date, has not caused a single death. What news from these two, do you think will come out on the front page of the newspapers the next morning?, What will occupy the first ten minutes of evening news?, Is the massive destruction caused by an earthquake in which is the third global economic power that has taken 15,000 lives hit the sea still returns to the rhythm of the waves, their costs, or does the threat of a nuclear disaster, even if-now-unlikely consummated, would cause dozens of deaths and hundreds of people affected? To respond not even think to consider what news really seems more relevant. Think of change as a publicist, or as a Hollywood director. Just think what will be left with a picture on the cover of your newspaper or newscast opening at 9, does a disaster occurring without another culprit that nature, or a threat, even unlikely, raising fears futurible catastrophe with a mushroom and an obvious culprit: the nuclear energy? If you are not clear, is that there have been many television news lately. And now take advantage of all this media hype, all this meaningless information that confuses people, and let's the public the million dollar question: "Nuclear energy, yes or no?", Or a question even more foolish and inappropriate "Is dangerous nuclear energy? ".

The height of this nonsense from the media, their collaboration ridiculous myth and misinformation, and its commitment to the spectacle, as highlighted recently presenter and editor of the news of TVE, Pepa Well, when a few days after news of Fukushima jump to the news media world, I asked the director of the Nuclear Safety Council (CSN), Isabel Mellado, in the peak hearing the evening news, "Mrs. Mellado, Fukushima nuclear power plant is virtually identical to the central Garoña in Spain, do you think that could happen Garoña something like what has happened in Japan? "Fortunately for the future of his career, the director CSN held the laughter that bubbled inside and he answered very kindly, indeed, the central and Santa Fukushima Maria de Garona share design but do not share the earthquake and subsequent tsunami, which is "unlikely" that something similar happens in Garoña soon, even that seems central to Fukushima.

So while I was watching the news, blushed with shame to live in a world so volatile, speculative and misinformed, Colonel Gaddafi gave thanks to Allah by earthquake and nuclear panic broke out in Japan and that he had taken, just in time, the international front. As the Western news were more aware of Japan than any other issue, captivating voters in Western democracies with nuclear apocalyptic fantasies, the leaders of these great democracies like Germany, England and France were wasting their time talking about the freeze nuclear plans, the decommissioning of the nuclear safety review ... and trying to change more slowly, with less urgency, the issue of Libya and an expected international resolve to create a no-fly zone. Thus, Gaddafi, in the course of this week's nuclear panic in the antipodes, sent his troops east to Benghazi, to make use of a force that lights and stenographers of the international community was not allowed to carry only a week earlier. "With a little of luck these days must have thought the colonel, lounging in your Khaimah - the whole country, and especially pretroleo East, will be under my control before they lose power Fukushima and becomes boring for the fickle citizens West. " And he's right, do not you think? That's happening now: as the days pass, the real significance of this latest nuclear incident finds its place, it is left to compare to Chernobyl (an absurd comparison to minimally who knows what happened in that Soviet nuclear plant) and is simply a trace, a new scourge, a scarlet letter that will weigh on energy nuclear and future discussions we do about it. Because you never open this debate while nuclear energy provides electricity and wellness to millions of people without polluting the environment, only lights up when an accident or a possible accident cast their long shadow over the population. I wonder why do not we all fly when a plane crashes, will we understand that the benefits outweigh the risks, or just have convinced us that we?.

And yesterday the Security Council of the UN vote, a month late, but he did, and today, again, while we're getting tired of hearing about a nuclear disaster in Japan that is not consumed, it is more spectacular open the news with U.S. aircraft carrier off the coast of Libya, crossing the Mediterranean European fighters loaded with warheads of democracy, any of which will cause more deaths coming days which will never be any escape of any nuclear plant in the world .

not know how you see you but I always escapes me a wry smile when, about once a month, television news show a list or a pie chart with the major concerns of the English in order of importance. Sometimes the first place is ETA, other Islamic terrorist strike or drivers, sometimes unemployment, or the economy but always, always, the list is a reflection of the news that the newscast itself has published during the previous month. What poll so absurd, right?!: The major concerns of the English are, of course, who lead the evening news and newspapers in this country. They, the media "news" create our concerns, tell us what is happening in the world but above all, tell us what is worrying and not.

Yes, "I think actually Colonel Gaddafi's right, human beings, at least from my own time and generation, we are fickle, capricious, inconstant. We have a lot of information is to be well informed; see and read but not participate, just observe. Survive daily in concrete jungles and instead belittle our own power, the power to analyze, compare and reason, the power to vote, to elect our leaders, to withdraw their confidence when we fail or try to manipulate us. We have all so many things to think about every day, and so little time to do it: our family, our work, our desires, our mortgage ... but we must be aware that we are part of something bigger: each of us holds a small but solid in the whole of humanity, like grains of sand make a beach, and if you like the waves of the sea not push and fight, if we believe and we believe the above, all our little world of everyday concerns, they will have more weight or more important than the ridiculous time holding our lives in the history of this planet.

exercise our New Look
care setting in the Natural Environment, which is well needed. To do so add to our look at two other senses, hearing and smell, and through them ...

also learn to observe. Watch means that we know what we're looking at, as stated above is to convert to VIEW VIEW. Is to put our will in action to know. For example, many things often go unnoticed if we walk through a forest!

An exercise in observation, when you go through the woods collecting leaves id but select each one to be in a different way. You are going to be surprised at the variety.
Another test: closing your eyes listen to the sounds of the forest Are you able to differentiate those sounds? Try it at least. Do the test to focus your attention on the smell, do you know to distinguish from each other? You might as well for nosotos the forest becomes more forest.

And another amazing experience: Observing a butterfly. Immense mystery
What makes it move, you're alive?
What makes you fly?
inexplicable wonder what is hidden in the colors of its wings, its dizzying vitality? The Nature

diversity of experiences, sensations and stimuli is infinite. If we just "pass" for them without thinking, without focusing attention on it, we will miss wonderful feelings and emotions.
