Fernando Alonso: McLaren driver could take 2016 break from F1

http://www.bbc.com/sport/formula1/34953829

Fernando Alonso could take a sabbatical from Formula 1 next year if McLaren remain uncompetitive, the team's chairman Ron Dennis says.
Alonso is contracted until the end of 2017, but McLaren struggled in their first year with engine partner Honda.

Former F1 driver Mark Webber, who is close to Alonso, said he believed the 34-year-old would make a final decision after trying the 2016 McLaren in pre-season testing next February.
"I think he is a ticking bomb," Webber said. "I think give him two or three days in the car and if the car is uncompetitive I think he'll have a year off."
Nevertheless, insiders have continued to express doubts about whether Alonso, who left Ferrari for McLaren at the end of last season because he believed they would give him a better chance of winning a third world title, could face another season at the back of the grid.

There have been suggestions since Japan that if the Honda engine remains uncompetitive in 2016, Alonso could take a year out and come back to fulfil the final two years of his contract in 2017 and 2018.
Although he and team-mate Jenson Button have generally remained positive and optimistic in their public utterances in 2015, their frustrations have occasionally surfaced.

McLaren will almost certainly finish ninth of 10 teams in the championship this season, meaning their garage will be moved to the far end of the pit lane.

I think that the spanish pilot of F1, Fernando Alonso, maybe will take a sabbatical year because lately the things are bad for him, the car always has problems. If the car (McLaren) in 2017 is good I think that he will continue and he will try to win his third world title, but if the things continue bad maybe the veteran spanish pilot would take a final decision, retire.

Andy Murray levels Davis Cup final with win for Great Britain

http://www.bbc.com/sport/tennis/34945009

Andy Murray brought Great Britain level at 1-1 against Belgium in the Davis Cup final with victory over Ruben Bemelmans in Ghent.

The world number two won a feisty encounter 6-3 6-2 7-5, after David Goffin had earlier beaten debutant Kyle Edmund 3-6 1-6 6-2 6-1 6-0.
Andy and Jamie Murray are set to team up in the doubles on Saturday, before the reverse singles on Sunday.
Britain are trying to win the team title for the first time since 1936.

"Obviously on paper it's what people would have expected," GB captain Leon Smith said of the day one score.
He will now hope that a combination of the Murray brothers in doubles, and Andy Murray in the reverse singles, will secure Britain's first Davis Cup victory for 79 years.
Smith retains the option of bringing in James Ward for Edmund, should the contest come down to a decisive fifth rubber on Sunday.
The best-of-five tie takes place over three days at the Flanders Expo, with around 1,300 travelling fans among 13,000 in the arena, and security tight following the recent high state of alert in Belgian capital Brussels.

I think that the world number two, Andy Murray, is giving all for your team because he, the best player and the leader of his country's team, Great Britain, wants that his country wins this title. His brother Jamie Murray will help him in doubles, because the doubles is his strong point. Great Britain has a very good tennis team for to win this title, Davis Cup, for once since 1936.

WIND TUNNEL OF EMPURIABRAVA

The sunday 25 of October I went to the wind tunnel of Empuriabrava, because one of my birthday's gifts was this.
This tunnel is next to the famous Skydive Empuriabrava, the place with the most skydiving jumps across Europe. This tunnel is a simulator of skydiving where professional people train and where it has gone also famous people. A part from that, it goes rookie people as me for to live a different experience.

I was nervous, since the first moment, because it was a new thing for me. Before to go into the tunnel, the teacher taught us the instructions that we had to follow in the tunnel. Then we outfits, we went to the tunnel and we started to fly one for one. When was my turn and into the wind tunnel  I felt as a bird, to flying and feeling the wind force on my face and on my body, it was amazing.

It was an incredible and unique experience. But when I'm eighteen years old, I want to fly in the sky, I want to do skydiving as my father did.

Here I show you some photos and one video about my experience in the wind tunnel of Empuriabrava.

MASLOW'S HIERARCHY OF NEEDS

Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a theory in psychology proposed by Abraham Maslow in his 1943 paper "A Theory of Human Motivation" in Psychological Review. Maslow subsequently extended the idea to include his observations of humans' innate curiosity. His theories parallel many other theories of human developmental psychology, some of which focus on describing the stages of growth in humans. Maslow used the terms "physiological", "safety", "belongingness" and "love", "esteem", "self-actualization", and "self-transcendence" to describe the pattern that human motivations generally move through.

Maslow studied what he called exemplary people such as Albert Einstein, Jane Addams, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Frederick Douglass rather than mentally ill or neurotic people, writing that "the study of crippled, stunted, immature, and unhealthy specimens can yield only a cripple psychology and a cripple philosophy." Maslow studied the healthiest 1% of the college student population.

Maslow's theory was fully expressed in his 1954 book Motivation and Personality. The hierarchy remains a very popular framework in sociology research, management training and secondary and higher psychology instruction.

The Maslow's hierarchy of needs is this:





I think that this hierarchy defines very good the human needs. This hierarchy is for all the people of different religion, different culture, different country, etc. It's important to know it for all.

Black Friday: Police called as sales turn ugly

http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-30241459

Police have been called to supermarkets across the UK amid crowd surges as people hunt for "Black Friday" offers.

Greater Manchester Police appealed for calm after attending seven Tesco shops, at which three men were arrested and a woman was hit by a falling television.
The force said the issues were "totally predictable" and it was "disappointed" by shop security. Tesco said only a "small number" of stores were affected.
Police were called in places including Dundee, Glasgow, Cardiff and London.
Originating in the US, Black Friday is becoming a major UK shopping day.
Visa has predicted that UK shoppers will spend £518m online on cards on Friday - which would make it the country's biggest internet shopping day in history.

Police in Manchester tweeted: "At least two people arrested at #BlackFriday sales events already this morning. Keep calm people!"
The force said there had been "disturbances" at the seven Tesco stores.

In London, police were called by both Tesco staff and queuing shoppers as people gathered at the Glover Drive store in Edmonton.
Officers also attended Tesco stores in Willesden and Surrey Quays.
The Metropolitan Police said officers worked with staff to "ensure that sale-goers were able to enter and exit the stores safely", and said no-one had been injured "as a result of the overcrowding".

I think that that is good only for the companies because they win a lot of money, but for the people I think that is bad because they fight each other for each product and they buy without to think, they buy compulsively.

Our invented short history

Mad scientific wants be a dog. To make that he does an experiment. The experiment was successful, he became a dog. But his dog became a human. He went to visit the goblins to reverse the effects of the experiment in the dog. The goblins aren't in his village, they are in the high mountains of the death. They do a long voyage to find the goblins, while they are living great experience. They will get it?

Lionel Messi finished off a 27-pass move and Luis Suarez scored a great volley as Barcelona celebrated Champions League Group E qualification with victory over Roma.

http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/34896629

Barcelona underlined their status as one of the favourites to win the competition with another convincing performance, just days after beating La Liga rivals Real Madrid 4-0 in the Bernabeu.
Messi scored twice in his first start in two months and Suarez now has 14 goals in the last 12 matches.
The trio of Neymar, Suarez and Messi mesmerised Roma's defence at the Nou Camp. The three were heavily involved in three of Barcelona's six goals on a night when coach Luis Enrique's side could have had a lot more.
Neymar, whose penalty was saved by Wojciech Szczesny before Adriano followed up, still played an integral part. The Brazil forward, who has scored 39 goals in 2015 for Barça. Neymar, Suarez and Messi have now scored 119 goals in the calendar year.
Suarez said that Leo, Neymar and he are team players and they look to help the team. Messi is the best in the world and I am very happy for him to have scored and played the full match.
The Catalan club are now nine games unbeaten.

Maicon and the rest of the Roma defence were on the back foot for the majority of the match.
The coach of Roma, Rudi Garcia, said that right now Barca is unstoppable, it's not a coincidence that they beat Madrid 4-0.
And he said also that for them the good news arrived before the match. The draw between Leverkusen and BATE keeps their options alive.
A victory for Roma at home over Bate Borisov in the final match would secure their passage into the knockout round.


I think that Barça did a perfect match against Roma. The players, of Barcelona, felt very well over the lawn.
The turned of Messi is very good for the team. I think that this year Barça can win all the titles because they are doing a good job in each match and there are good vibes in the wardrobe.

CLASSIC MADRID-BARÇA

This last Sunday, 21 of November, it played the big classic of the Spanish league where the two best teams, Real Madrid C.F. and F.C.Barcelona, would play to win.

I saw this match with my father at home. It was a big match for F.C.Barcelona that it won to a bad Real Madrid with a strange result on a classic, 0-4.

Since the first moment Barça was upper to his rival with a very good play. However Madrid didn't play well, they didn't find spaces, the players didn't feel good over the lawn.

First it scored the Uruguayan Luis Suarez at the eleven minute, pretty soon. More later it scored the Brazilian Neymar Da Silva, doing his twelve goal in league. On the second part, the Spanish veteran Andres Iniesta did a fantastic goal with a very good move and best definition. At the fifty seven minute went in the Argentine Lionel Messi, after six weeks outside of the game lands due to a lesion against U.D. Las Palmas. He didn't score but he played well, he gave good feelings and he intervened at the last goal of Luis Suarez. At the seventy seven minute Andres Iniesta, the best player of the match, retired from the game land and fans of Madrid applauded to the player of Barça. However, at the end of the match, the fans of Madrid whistled his players because the players had done a bad match and the fans, also, shouted the resignation of the Real Madrid's president, Florentino Pérez.

About this match I want just to say that I enjoyed a lot and that we saw the best Barça and probably the best team of the world.

 

 

"EIGHT CATALAN SURNAMES"

Yesterday, 23 of November, I went to the cinema to watch the Spanish film “Ocho apellidos catalanes” with my family. We went to the cinema to watch this film because, it released the day 20 of November, and the first part “Ocho apellidos vascos” had a lot of success the last year and it liked us a lot.

The film is about: After the events of "Ocho apellidos vascos", Rafa (Dani Rovira) and Amaia (Clara Lago) have separated and now she is dating with a Catalan man, Pau (Berto Romero). After having given in to the idea of his daughter dating an Andalusian, Koldo (Karra Elejalde) decides this is too much and ventures outside the borders of Euskadi for the first time in his life to search for Rafa in Seville and convince him to try and win Amaia's heart back.

This, is a film funny with a big humor that it parodies the actuality in politics themes, for example the independence of Catalonia and of Euskadi mixing characters of different communities of Spain, watching that the sum of all, enriches the film and it does us do to think about these themes.

Tracy and Chee Seng

I think that the book (The best of times?) and the film (Thirteen) have their good and bad things. Both are very different but they have similar things. I will talk about the bad things, the drugs.

About the film:  Tracy is a teenager, she is thirteen and she is a good student until Evie appears in her life. Evie is a teenager and she is thirteen too, but she has problems with her life in general: studies, friendships,... She smokes, she drinks, she consumes drugs, etc. Evie motivates to Tracy to smoke, to drink, to consume drugs,... and finally both doing the same bad things and harmful to themselves.
They will going to more until they knowing that they doing bad things and their life haven't sense in this manner.

About the book: Chee Seng is a teenager, he is sixteen and he lives with her mother in Malaysia.
On the final of the book, in a big party, a friend gives him pills to get excited for to dance with his girlfriend. His girlfriend also consumes a lot of pills and finally she has an accident in the pool of the home due to the pills.
The Che Seng's mother knows all that his son has done, and she wants to kill herself with pills. She doesn't die but she is in the hospital.

In the book and in the film, the drugs have the same final. They show us that the drugs are very bad and very unhealthy for all the people, teenagers and adults.

MOTO GP

This Sunday, 8 of November, it has celebrated the last race of the world championship of MotoGP, in València. In this race the two pilots with options to the world championship were: the italian Valentino Rossi, nine times champion of the world, and the spanish Jorge Lorenzo, twice champion of this title.

The final of the championship had arrived very tight because only there were seven points to difference, favour to Valentino Rossi. But the advantage of Lorenzo was that Rossi had to exit from the last position due to incident with Marc Márquez, twice champion of the world, in Malaysia.
In Malaysia it happened that: Marc Márquez and Valentino Rossi disputed the third place, doing overtaking of limit continuously, until Rossi got angry and in a long and closed curve he gave him a kick throwing him to the ground and leave him without options to continue.
Here Márquez demonstrated that he is better pilot than Rossi mentally and that he can fight to the final. 

Well, in this last race, in València, Rossi since to the last position he overcame to the fourth place but this position didn't use him because Lorenzo was first, summing twenty five points and so winning his third world championship of MotoGP.
Rossi that still he hasn't passed it because he continues criticising the spanish Márquez and Lorenzo, in my opinion is worse for him.

I think that it has been a legal championship where I have enjoyed a lot, but for me the best is Marc Márquez because is a fighter pilot, aggressive, that he never surrenders and that he always want win.

REBEL SONG

John Lennon - "Imagine"

 
English:                                                                       
Imagine there's no heaven                                                                                                  
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky

Imagine all the people
Living for today...
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do

Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one


Spanish:
Imagina que no hay cielo,
es fácil si lo intentas.
Sin infierno bajo nosotros,
encima de nosotros, solo el cielo.

Imagina a todo el mundo.
viviendo el día a día...
Imagina que no hay países,
no es difícil hacerlo.

Nada por lo que matar o morir,
ni tampoco religión.
Imagina a toda el mundo,
viviendo la vida en paz...

Puedes decir que soy un soñador,
pero no soy el único.
Espero que algún día te unas a nosotros,
y el mundo será uno solo.

Imagina que no hay posesiones,
me pregunto si puedes.
Sin necesidad de gula o hambruna,
una hermandad de hombres.
Imagínate a todo el mundo,
compartiendo el mundo...

Puedes decir que soy un soñador,
pero no soy el único.
Espero que algún día te unas a nosotros,
y el mundo será uno solo.

- What is the song protesting against?  

The song is protesting against the wars, the borders, the religions, etc. He concludes that we must to share the world. Lennon only wants the peace.

BETWEEN WOLVES

"Between wolves" is a spanish film. It's based in a real history, the live of Marcos Rodríguez Pantoja, boy in the postwar period that he lived in the nature surrounded for wolves.     
A film beautiful, very emotive and active that will awaken your feelings.

Marcos was six-seven years old when his father has remarried, he sold him to a goatherd that he carried him to Sierra Morena, wild place to hard accessible in the south of Spain, for to help a old shepherd to care his herd.
After a while, the shepherd died and Marcos was left alone. 

In this movie, the best part for me is when Marcos hunting well, when he is meant with the wolves and he survives and finally when the Civil Guard finds him (1965).
It's brilliant and amazing.

But, I didn't like the abandonment of Marcos and the part when the shepherd die.
It's very emotive and sad.

At the end of the film, Marcos appears in Sierra Morena (2010) and he call the wolves and they come with him.
It's surprising!!

My rating of this movie is: 
****a masterpiece

A prize-winning photo presentation

Me and my adolescence

The changes that I see with the adolescence are physicist, psychics or psychological and social.

On reference about the physicist, my body has experimented a process of transformation that is pretty visible (height, body hair, voice,...).
About the psychological level I notice that my hormones affect me on the way for to think (mindset), humor changes, to see the things with more responsibility, etc.
For last about a social level, the deal with adults is different because they see you as they, equal and the exigence level increases.
