HOLIDAYS IN
NEW YORK

New York is the most populated city the U.U.S.S of America. The city has many
neighborhoods and buildings recognized worldwide. New York is considered a global
city, given its global influences in media, in politics, in education, in entertainment
and fashion. You cant go to New York and didnt enjoy places like:

Times Square

With thousands of lights and huge
advertising posters, Times Square
has become the most famous
image of New York. It is the
heart of the city and the center
of the theater district. There are
a number of restaurants, shops,
street performers, and of course,
the theaters of Broadway.



Statue of Liberty
"Liberty illuminating the world", known as the Statue of Liberty is one of the most
famous monuments in New York, the United States and from around the world. It
is a monument to more than 90 meters high, was inaugurated in 1886. It is located
on Liberty Island to the south of the island of Manhattan.
It was a gift from the French to the Americans, as a sign
of friendship between the two nations. The Statue of
Liberty became a symbol in the United States and
represents, on a more general level, freedom.

Central Park
The Central Park is a public urban
park located in the metropolitan
district of Manhattan. The park has
large tracts of grass covered
areas, squares, a mini zoo, a skating
rink, a theater outdoors, trails for
running, biking, skating, horseback
riding, and numerous water sources
and sculptures.



Brooklyn Bridge
Bridge is a favorite New York and was the first steel suspension bridge in the
world. You can walk across it in about 30 minutes. The view is amazing. It was built
between 1870 and 1883 and, at the time of its
opening, it was the world's largest suspension
bridge, measuring 1825 meters long.

India
I thought Id start with India, as its such an intriguing country. Everyone has there own
experiences and opinions about India but you cant judge before youve been there, its
impossible, you need to have felt it, smelled it and seen the colours to be able to say
something about it.
I like to say India isnt really a country. Its a different
planet, every region has its own characteristics and
mysteries. Id be lying if Id say I know all of them, but
although its long ago I do remember some things, mostly
because this country gave me such a
shock, so much to think about, for
someone who was used to a western
civilization.

Lots of people say this and there quite right -you either love India
or you hate it-. You have to be able to ajust to there customs, to
the way they stare at you on a train the whole day without once
looking away until you start staring back at them, the way they try
and sell you things all day, everyday, everywhere, the way the
traffic is caused by holy cows walking along, the way the indians
wont stop smiling and waggling their heads while they make you
feel uncomfortable. You have to take this all with it, wether you like it or not. Once
youve adapted too all the madness you start too appreciate it (this does take a while).
This is the part where a lot of people get stuck because not everyone can see the logic in
a rat temple and cow shit all over the street. One thing you
do have to know is that Indians are one of the most friendly
people in the world, theyll always try and help you, there
are exceptions everywhere but the only thing that got stolen
in a six months travel through madland were two pairs of
sandals (my dads), left outside a temple, but we got a fast
replacement, someone on the corner of the street was making
shoes out of old car tyres, we bought a pair there.

Its difficult to tell you the best place to go in India because
its so huge and I havent even seen near half of it, but out of
the places I have been I would say Rajasthan and the north of India Ladakh in the
Himalayas.
Rajasthan because I had amazing experiences there in the desert and at the Pushkar fair
which is the biggest camel/horse fair organized every year. I was lucky to be able to go
on a horse riding track through the Thar desert and to visit little places such as Bundi
where monkeys just broke into houses and would eat all the left overs.
10

We went to the North of India in the Himalayas because that was as close as we could
get to Tibet in that time, there was a war going on. We crossed the Himalayas from
Manali to Leh, a road that only is open for traffic during summer there, otherwise its
covered in several feet of snow, when they open the road the army takes care of
cleaning all the snow away so that the trucks can pass to deliver things to the otherwise
only accessible by plane, Leh. A precious little gem between India and Tibet, also
sometimes used as a residence for the Dalai Lama. For a tourists there are only a few
possibilities to get there, or by plane or by bus, and well... if youre inventive or insane
with three people on a 30 year old Enfield. We had been on a Indian bus before and it
wasnt such a jolly ride, the chauffeurs in India drive like maniacs, I dont know wether
they like to be on time or if they just believe in a second and better life after death. We
didnt want to have another ride from hell so we decided instead to cross the great
Himalayas with three on an old and almost broken Enfield, it did succeed, although we
replaced a some tyres on the way. The crossing took three days, in between we slept in
tentcamps were we could drink some chai tea and rest for the very cold night. One of
those days we saw wild horses galloping next to us, they looked like przewalski horses,
these are only a few of the treasures you can find in India and I hope that you can
discover some yourself one day!
Thailand
Thailand is a welcoming country, thats why most people go there
on holiday, because its an easy travelling destination for
families with kids. The people are very friendly and while
we were travelling through Asia we used Thailand as our
hub. Wed travelled through Thailand quite a bit all ready
and its nice to have some place to start that you know all
ready in a part of the world which is unknown to you.

Thailand is definitely the place to go for a long relaxing
holiday with children, you barely ever hear bad things about
Thailand, of course there is no need to go looking for
trouble among shabby neighborhoods in Bangkok.
A real nice city that has been imprinted in my mind is Chiang Mai in the North of
Thailand, this is were I as a nine year old ate baked worms for the first time (a
challenge!). They bake larvae and put them in big bags to sell on the local markets just
like crisps,you know, it might be better than the actual crisps we eat these days, god
knows what they put in them! Another thing that you can eat
(while were on the topic) is a lovely and salted rat on a stick,
that one I didnt try! The best Bed and breakfast in Chiang Mai
is the CM Bluehouse, so if you ever go do make sure to stay
there.

One of the most interesting tribes in Thailand are the
longnecks, also in the North, around Mae Salong, years ago
they fled from Burma or officially the Republic of Myanmar
and settled in the North of Thailand.
There are a lot of Myths that say that when they take their rings off their necks would
brake, which is a lie, one of the longneck women named Mali told us how the rings only
visually make the neck longer but really they push down the shoulders so that they
become smaller. All together the rings weigh 5 kilo, fortunately for the youth they arent
obliged to put them on.
11


On the border of Laos and Thailand we got dragged in to a party of Vespa dealers, the
really old vintage type. The parking that led up to the big barn where the party was held
was full of multicoloured, two toned and sweet little motorcycles all of the Italian make.
There I was inmediately shown around and danced with by Thai girls.

One of the activities you wont regret doing is having a ride on an elephant, be sure that
they are well treated though. Another activity which youll find you can do in any of
these countries is go to a nature park or the Tiger Temple in Thailand situated in
Kanchanaburi, a real MUST! Its amazing how these monks take care and live together
with the tigers, I was lucky enough to have two cubs trying to rip out my hair!
Bhutan
Bhutan is a very small but nevertheless interesting country because of its way in
approaching tourism and industry. I must admit I need to do some research on Bhutan
because Id like to explain the political situation and
as a nine year old I wasnt really into that sort of
stuff.
Rapid modernization has brought vast
improvements in the living standard of the
Bhutanese people. They also have grown a lot in
tourism, they are trying to subdue the negative
impacts on their culture and environment commonly
associated with mass tourism. By establishing a
policy of High Value, Low Impact tourism,
Bhutan seeks to ensure that its attracts only the most
discerning visitors with a deep respect for cultural
values, traditions and the natural environment, they explain on their website.

As a result of the recent economic development, Bhutan has one of the highest per
capita incomes in South Asia. Efforts stringent retaliations have been enacted in order to
protect Bhutans natural environment.
What does this mean, well it means that Bhutan as for keeping mass tourism out of the
question also doesnt let big companies such as Coca-Cola enter in their economic
system, they create it all themselves, their local McDonalds (probably without GMO),
their local Nike store. The Tigers nest is another must see if you go to Bhutan, The
Taktsang Monastry commonly known as the Tigers nest is situated on a dangerous
place as you can see on the photo.
I remember how difficult it was six years ago to try and get a visa for Bhutan because it
was so protected, the borders were heavily armed especially against the riots they were
holding in India. Apart from their successful way of industry and preserving their
cultural habits its a beautiful country rich in high mountains, the way you fly out of
Bhutan is remarkable, the ability of the pilots is stunning, because when youve just
taken of in these tiny little airplanes they need to make very quick and agile movements
with the plane so you dont hit a mountain, its an extraordinary experience as well
when a pilot just tells you to look out of the window on your right side and witness the
Mount Everest.

India
Pens empezar con India poque es un pas tan fascinante. Mucha gente tien sus propias
experiencias y opiniones a cerca de la India pero no se puede juzgar antes de haber
estado all, es imposible, tienes que haber sentido, olido y visto para ser capaz de decir
algo sobre el tema. Me gusta decir que la India no es un pas sino un planeta diferente,
cada regin tiene sus caractersticas y misterios. Estara mintiendo si te dira que s todo
de l, pero a pesar de que fue hace mucho tiempo me acuerdo de algunas cosas, sobre
todo porque este pas me dio un choque , especialmente para alguine que estaba
acostumbrado a una civilizacin occidental.

Mucha gente dicen esto, y llevan la razn -O te encanta la India o lo odias.- Tienes que
acostumbrarte a las tradiciones, a la manera de mirarte en el tren todo el da sin
descanso, ni mirar a algn otro lado hasta que t empiezas a mirar hacia ellos, la manera
en el que quieren vender sus productos todo el da, en cualquier sitio, cualquier hora, la
manera en el que el trfico est causado por una vaca sagrada que ande por ah, la
manera en la que los indios no dejan de sonrer y ladeando la cabeza de un lado a otro
mientras te hacen sentir incmodo. Todo es parte de India, si te gusta o no. Despus de
que te has adaptado a toda la locura, puedes empezar a apreciarlo. Esa es la parte donde
13

muchas personas se atascan porque no todo el mundo puede ver la lgica en un templo
dedicada a las ratas y el estircol de vaca por las calles.
Una cosa que de verdad necesitais saber es que los indios son unas de las personas ms
amables en el mundo, siempre van a intentar ayudarte, hay expeciones en todas partes,
pero la nica cosa que nos robaron en los seis meses que viajamos en Localand, fueron
dos pares de chanclas, dejados enfrente de un templo, pero encontremos un reemplazo
rpido, en la esquina alguin estaba haciendo zapatos de neumticos viejos, compremos
un para all.
Es difcil decir cual es el mejor lugar de ir en la India, porque es tan enorme, y ni
siquiera he visto cerca de la mitad de ella, pero dentro de los lgares donde he ido yo te
dira Rajasthan y el norte de India, Ladakh en las Himalayas.
Rajasthan porque tuve experiencias increbles en el desierto y en la feria de Pushkar, la
cual es la mayor feria de camello/caballo que se organiza cada ao. Tuve la suerte de
poder ir en caballo a travs del desierto de Thar y para visitar lugares preciosos como
Bundi, donde los monos entran en tu casa y roban los restos de comida.
Fuimos al Norte de India en las Himalayas porque esto era lo ms cerca que pudimos
llegar a Tbet en ese momento, haba una guerra. Cruzamos la Himalaya de Manali a
Leh, por un camino que solo est abierto para pblico durante, sino est cubierta de
varios metros de nieve, cuando abren el camino el ejrcito se encarga de limpiar toda la
nieve para que los camiones puedan pasar para comerciar, la nica otra va es atravs de
avin. Leh es una pequea joya preciosa entre India y Tbet, tambin se utiliza a veces
como residencia para la Dalai Lama. Para un turista solo hay un par de posibilidades
para llegar ah o en avin o en autobs...o bueno, si eres loco en un Enfield de 30 aos.
Habamos estado en un autobs indio antes y no fue un paseo alegre, los choferes indios
conducen como locos, no s si le gusta llegar a tiempo o si simplemente creen en el ms
all. No queramos tener otro viaje infernal, as que decidimos de cruzar una parte de la
Himalayas con trese en una vieja y casi rota Enfield. Tuvo xito a pesar de que tenamos
que reemplazar algunos neumticos en el camino. La travesa dur tres das y medio, en
el camino durmimos en campamentos donde pudimos tomar un t chai y descansar por
la noche. Uno de esos das vimos caballos salvajes galopando con nosotros, parecan a
caballos Przewalski. Estos son algunos de los tesoros que se pueden encontrar en la
India, espero que podes descubrir muchas ms!


Tailandia
Tailandia es un pas acogedor, por eso mucha gente va all de vacaciones. Es un destino
lejos pero fcil para las familias con hijos. Las personas son muy amables y cuando mis
padres y yo viajemos por Asia hemos utilizado Tailandia siempre como punto de
partida, salida y referencia. Ya habamos viajado por Tailandia y es bueno empezar en
algun pas que conozcas ya un poco en un parte del mundo que desconoces totalmente.
Tailandia defenitivamente es una destinacin para unas vacaciones largas y relajantes
con la familia, casi nunca se escucha cosas malas sobre Tailandia, claro, no tenemos que
ir buscando problemas por los barrios oscuros de Bangkok. Una ciudad bonita es
Chiang Mai en el Norte de Tailandia, esto es donde cuendo tena nueve aos com
gusanos al horno. Los tailandeses frean las larvas, los ponan en paquetes para vender
en el mercado como patatas fritas, sabes, esto probablemente es mejor que los patatas
fritas que comemos hoy en da. Otra cosa que se puede comer ( mientras estmos en el
tema) es un pinchito de rata salada, este no lo prob! La mejor hostal en Chiang Mai es
CM Bluehouse, si alguna vez quieres ir, procura de dormir ah.
14


Uno de los tribus ms interesantes son los longnecks (cuello largo), tambin estn en el
norte cerca de Mae Salong, hace aos huyeron de Birmania, oficialmente la Repblica
de Myanmar, y se establecieron en el norte de Tailandia. Hay muchos mitos que dicen
que si quitan sus anillos sus cuellos se rompen, es una mentira, una mujer longneck
llamada Mali nos cont como los anillos solo hacen visualmente el cuello ms largo,
pero realmente se empuja hacia abajo los hombros, y los hace aparecer ms pequeos.
Todos juntos los anillos pesan 5 kilos, afortunadamente las jvenes no estn obligadas a
ponrselas.


En la frontera de Tailandia con Laos fuimos invitados a una fiesta de comerciantes de
Vespa, los de tipo vintage. El aparcamiento que llev a la granja donde se celebr la
fiesta estaba lleno de motos de multicolores como lacasitos, todas de la marca italiana.
Ah fue rodeada inmediatamente por un grupo de jvenes tailandesas.

Una de las actividades que no vas a arrepentirte es hacer un paseo en elefante, sin
embargo, asegrate de que estn bien cuidados. Otra cosa que podrs hacer en
cualquiera de estos pases es ir a un parque natural o el templo de tigres en Tailandia en
Kanchanaburi, eso es un verdadero encanto! Es increble como los monjes cuidan y
conviven con los tigres. Tuve la suerte de tener dos cachorros arrancandome el pelo!



15

Butn
Butn es un pas muy pequeo pero muy interesante debido a la forma en el que se
encargan del turismo y su industria. Debo admitir que he tenido que buscar e investigar
sobre Butn porque quera explicar la situacin poltica, y como un nio de nueve aos,
yo no me interesaba en cosas as.
La rpida modernizacin ha trado grandes mejoras en el nivel de vida en Butn. Han
crecido mucho en turismo, estn tratando de someter a los impactos negativos sobre la
cultura y el medioambiente, asociados con el turismo de masas. mediante el
establecimiento de una pltica de alto valor y bajo impacto, Butn busca a los turistas
ms exigentes, con un profundo respeto por los valores culturales, las tradiciones y el
entorno natural.
Como el resultado de su reciente revolucin econmica, Butn tiene uno de los ingresos
ms altos per capita del sur de Asia. Esfuerzos estrictos se han promulgado de conservar
la naturaleza. Qu significa esto? Significa que Butn al igual que no deja entrar masa
turismo, tampoco deja entrar compaas como Coca-cola en su sistema econmico.
Ellos mismos crean sus Mc Donalds (probablemente sin OGM), su tienda local de Nike,
probablemente no importan nada de China o cualquier otro pas.
El nido del tigre es otra visita que deberes de hacer cuando se va a Butn, el monasterio
Takstang comnmente conocido como el nido del tigre se encuentra en un lugar
espectacular como se puede ver en la foto.
Recuerdo lo difcil que era hace seis aos para obtener un visa para Butn ya que estaba
tn protegida, las fronteras estaban fuertemente armadas especialmente contra disturbios
en la India. Aparte de su xito en la industria y en la proteccin de sus costumbres es un
pas hermoso, rico en montaas gigantes. La forma en la que sales de Butn es notable
porque la habilidad de los pilotos es impresionante. Cuando ests en estos mini-
avioncitos tienen que mover de una manera tn rpida y gil para no chocar contra un
avin, es una experiencia extraordinaria, especialmente cuando te dicen que mires por la
ventana para ver el Everest.

En la antrtica, el hielo siempre se mueve, la rotura, la fusin, la

Los glaciales pueden cortar unos miles de metros de roca. El hielo acta
recprocamente con el viento y el agua al rededor del continente, quiere decir
que est en el corazn de todo lo que pasa aqu, algo que encontramos a nuestro
coste. Aurora Australis ha estado yendo en barco por el ocano del sur desde
mediados de la semana pasada, y en algn punto durante el fin de semana

In Antarctic, ice is always moving, breaking, melting, re-freezing,
flowing.

Glaciers can cut thought thousands of metres of rock. The way ice interacts with
wind and water around the continent means that it is at the heart of everything
that happens here-something we found to our cost. Ocean since the middle of
last week and, at some point over the weekend, we left behind the last of the ice.
It has been part of the daily scenery of our expedition for more than a month,
ever since we crossed into the Antarctic Circle.

European bat numbers are recovering after years of decline, according to a major new
study. Scientists surveyed 16 European bat species in nine countries and found that the
total number increased by more than 40% between 1993 and 2011. Conservation
measures including legislation and managing habitat have helped to reserve the decline,
but bats should still be considered vulnerable.
In the most comprehensive study of European bat population trends to date, surveyors
counted and catalogued bats hibernating at 6000 sites in Austria, Germany, Hungary,
Latvia, The Netherlands, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia and the United Kingdom.
Most of the species studied appear to be increasing or stable in number. Eight bat
species increasing moderately. Three were stable, two species were uncertain and only
the grey long eared bat declined, although moderately.

40% entre 1993 y 2011. Las medidas de conservacin incluyendo la legislacin y la
gestin de hbitat han contribuido en la bajada, pero los murcilagos deberan seguir
siendo considerados como vulnerables.
En el estudio ms completo de las tendencias europeas de poblacin hasta la fecha los
topgrafos cuentan los murcilagos que hibernan en 6000 sitios: en Austria, Alemania,
Hungra, Letonia, los Pases Bajos, Portugal, Eslovenia, Eslovaquia y Reino Unido.
La mayora de las especies estudiadas parecen estar aumentando moderadamente. Ocho
especies de murcilagos aumentaron moderadamente. Tres eran estables, dos especies
eran inciertas y el murcilago orejudo gris disminuy, aunque moderadamente.

ha bajado un 3,87% registrando ahora un total de 202.712 desempleados. Los
analistas y los polticos se mostraron optimistas por estos resultados.

La imagen general est incompleta hasta que no se sepa el nmero de personas

puede ser que hayan encontrado trabajo o bien por otras razones. Por eso los
expertos piden cautela al hablar de la recuperacin.

Segn un experto de la UMA el crecimiento de contratos en ltimo ao es
positivo porque al menos no estamos peor. Tambin apunta que hay menos
registrados en el SEPE por cansancio y no seguir buscando empleo.

unemployment people. Analyst and politic are optimist about this result.

The overall picture is incomplete, until we know the number of people registered
in the social security system, because people that has left the unemployment can
have found a work or for other reasons. So, experts ask for changing it or talk
about recovery.

According to an EMU expert, the contract's growth in the last year is positive
because at least, we are not worse. He also says that there is less registered
people in the SEPE because they are tired and they don't keep on looking for.

According to a survey by MumsNet and the independent thinktank, the Resolution
Foundation, the survey of 2,000 mothers found that 67% of those in work and 64% of
those not in work say the high cost of childcare is a barrier to taking on more
employment. The findings underline the likelihood that politicians will make greater help
with childcare a big part of their manifesto pledges at the next election. There are
growing signs that Labour has decided to make a long-term commitment to universal free
childcare one of its two or three most important proposals. The commitment might take
more than two parliaments to meet.

El castillo de Zalia es una fortaleza situada en el municipio de Alcaucn, en la
provincia de Mlaga. El castillo, hoy en ruinas, se levanta frente al casco urbano
de Alcaucn, al otro lado del ro, sobre una colina.
Se trata de una fortifiacin muy antigua. Se cree que pudiera haber sido
construido por los fenicios, y posteriormente fue reconstruido por los rabes.
Los rabes construyeron el actual castillo con su doble anillo de murallas,
alcanzando cierto apogeo gracias a la crianza de ganado y al cultivo del cereal.
Ms tarde fue conquistado por los Reyes Catlicos en septiembre de 1485,
sirviendo esta fortificacin como "prisin. Esta conquista se logr por la traicin
de un rabe de ascendencia cristiana residente en Zalia.
La leyenda de la conquista
Un da, Manuel se encamin hacia Alhama de Granada con el propsito de ver a
Gutirrez de Padilla, capitn de la villa. ste junto con su hermano formaba
parte del personal del castillo, y como personas renegadas estaban dispuestos a
prestar ayuda al capitn de Alhama de Granada en su intento de tomar la
fortaleza. El capitn se fi de ellos y prepar lo ms rpidamente a un grupo de
caballeros y peones que salieron de Alhama y llegaron al pie de la muralla ya
cada la noche. Una vez all, el traidor dio la contrasea e hizo que los caballeros
pudieran entrar al castillo. Desafortunadamente ste fue maniatado y arrojado
desde una de las almenas, y los caballeros asaltaron el castillo.
La leyenda de la Reina Zalia
El castillo recibe el nombre de Zalia, ya que se deca que la reina Zalia bajaba
diariamente al ro para baarse. Una noche, un joven nazar se acerc hacia la
alberca, contemplando el bao de aquella mtica mujer. Mientras la vea
sumergirse entre ptalos y nenfares dentro del agua, fue sorprendido por un
guardia y posteriormente fue conducido a La Cerca, donde vivi el resto de sus
das recordando aquella mujer, con la piel luminosa, tersa y delicada. Segn
viejas tradiciones orales, La Cerca sera un antiguo penal, dependiente del
castillo de Zala, donde los musulmanes encerraban a sus enemigos.

The Castle of Zalia is a fortress located in the municipal area of Alcaucin, in the
province of Malaga. The Castle, which is now in ruins, is built in front of the
village of Alcaucin, on the other side of the river, on top of a hill.
It is a very ancient fortification. It is thought that it might have been built by the
Phoenicians, and later it was rebuilt by the Arabs. The Arabs built the present
castle and its double ring of walls. Then it reached its apogee thanks to the
farming of cattle and growing of cereals. Later, it was conquered by the Catholic
Monarchs in September 1485 and then it was used as a prison. This conquest
was possible due to the treason of a Muslim of Christian origins who lived in
Zalia.
The Legend of the conquest
One day, Manuel headed to Alhama de Granada to see Gutierrez de Padilla,
captain of the village. Manuel with his brother was part of the staff of the castle,
and as renegade Manuel was willing to help the captain of Alhama de Granada
in his attempt to take over the fortress . The captain trusted the brothers and
prepared as quickly as possible a group of knights and pawns. The army reached
the main wall of the castle at nightfall . Once there , the brothers gave the
knights and pawns the password and they were able to enter the fortress.
Unfortunately the brothers were handcuffed and thrown from one of the
battlements , and the Knights conquered the castle.
The legend of Queen Zalia
The castle is called Zalia because it was said that Queen Zalia went down to the
river to bathe daily . One night, a young Nazari went to the pool , and watched
the lady bathe. As he watched her dive between petals and lilies in the water ,he
was caught by a guard and later led to the prison, where he lived the rest of his
life remembering the woman with the lovely body, smooth and delicate skin.
According to oral traditions , the castle was used as a prison where Muslims kept
their enemies.

55

Como el ao anterior, estas jornadas se han dividido en 3 das, y aunque los 3
estuvieron dedicados al mundo de la empresa, tratan temticas distintas: jvenes
empresarios antiguos alumnos y alumnas del Centro, empresas axrquicas de
proyeccin nacional e internacional y mujeres empresarias.
La primera sesin de estas jornadas, y coincidiendo con la celebracin del da
internacional de la mujer trabajadora, estuvo dedicada a mujeres que dirigen
empresas o negocios en la Axarqua malaguea, hecho muy meritorio, ya que en
nuestra sociedad ha habido y en algunos casos sigue habiendo un componente
machista y discriminatorio hacia la mujer. Todas las invitadas nos explicaron
como con esfuerzo y persistencia, es posible sobrevivir en un mundo
empresarial de hombres.
El segundo da, estuvo dedicado a empresas de la Axarqua que trabajan fuera de
la provincia y en muchos casos de la provincia, e incluso se han consolidado a
nivel internacional.
Para finalizar, y como cierre a este evento, el martes 11 de marzo, lo dedicamos
a jvenes empresarios y empresarias. Entendemos que su presencia es
imprescindible porque son el ejemplo ms cercano de que si se quiere se puede.

On the 7, 10 and 11 of March, in the IES Alta Axarqua of Periana, the Second
Congress of entrepreneurs was celebrated.
The Congress that the Department of Geography and History along with
Department of Administration organized, had the esteemed help of the CADE,
the directive team and teachers of IES Alta Axarqua of Periana and the town
hall of Periana.
The main objective of this conference was to serve as a complement to
the academic training that is given daily to students from all departments so that
students have the possibility in the future to create businesses in our region and
maybe in our country. It will motivate the students to create much needed jobs
specially necessary today, even given that it isnt easy to start a company
because the result is what is important and each project carries a risk.
Like last year, the conference was divided into three days, and although
the three days were dedicated to the business word, they dealt with three distinct
themes: young entrepreneurs that are old students of the IES Alta Axarqua;
companies from the Axarqua with national and international relevance; and
female entrepenaurs.












57

The first session of this conference, coinciding with the International Day
of Female Workers, was dedicated to companies or businesses in Axarqua. This
is very commendable, because in our society there has existed chauvinism and in
some cases there is still a sexist component towards women.
All the guests explained to us how with effort and persistence its
possible to survive in a business word.
The second day was dedicated to companies from the Axarqua that work
outside of the province, and in many cases outside of the autonomous region,
and even internationally.
To wrap up, on Tuesday the 11 of March, we dedicated the day to young
entrepreneurs. We know that their presence is essential because they are an
example of the saying, where there is a will, there is a way.

IES Alta Axarquia and IES Maria Zambrano went to Sierra Nevada for three
days in January.

We stayed at a nice hotel, but the bad thing was that it was high up and we had
to go up a ski lift to get there and I'm scared of heights.
But all in all it was grate! We learnt how to ski, we saw lovely scenery a cute
little fox... The best bit was falling over and not hurting yourself! I found that bit
amazing!

The ski monitors were really nice and helpful, especially as it was my first time.
To be honest I think our monitor was the nicest, he was always having a laugh
and pushing us over!

VIAJE DE ESQU

Los IES Alta Axarqu y Maria Zambrano fueron durante tres das en enero de
viaje de esqu.
Nos alojamos en un buen hotel aunque lo malo era que estaba en lo ms alto de
la estacin y tenamos que coger un telesilla para bajar y subir a las pistas y a mi
me dan miedo las alturas.
Pero en general todo fue genial! Aprendimos como esquiar y tuvimos la
oportunidad de ver un bonito y pequeo zorro... Lo que ms me gustaba era
caerte y no hacerte dao, era genial!
Los monitores nos ayudaban mucho y eran muy simpticos, lo que me gust
mucho porque era mi primera vez. En realidad creo que mi monitor era el mejor
siempre con una sonrisa y animndonos en la actividad.

RAP:

Rapping refers to "spoken or chanted rhyming lyrics" Rapping is often
associated with a primary ingredient of hip hop music, but the origins of the
phenomenon can be said to predate hip hop culture by centuries. It can also be
found in alternative rock such as that of Cake and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Rapping is also used in Kwaito music, a genre that originated in Johannesburg,
South Africa and is composed of hip hop elements. Since the early 21st century,
it has been possible to hear rap in every major language of the world.


Stylistically, rap occupies a gray area between speech, prose, poetry, and
singing. The word (meaning originally "to hit") as used to describe quick speech
or repartee predates the musical form .The word had been used in British
English since the 16th century, and specifically meaning "to say" since the 18th.
It was part of the African American dialect of English in the 1960s meaning "to
converse", and very soon after that in its present usage as a term denoting the
musical style. Today, the terms "rap" and "rapping" are so closely associated
with hip hop music that many use the terms interchangeably.


The audio portion produces the term called MC and DJ, the MC, acronyms mean
MC comes from the religious entity, the parent is the Master of Ceremonies and
is "speaking" in the culture of Hip hop is in charge of rapping, he was often
called "black music" as it was in America where workers unhappy Color rapped
their problems and
try to overcome it.

BREAK DANCE:

We continue with the Hip hop culture, all music has its dance movements in this
dance culture that accompanies Rap music is named Breakdance.


It is a dance that combines a series of aerobic and rhythmic movements,
influenced from aboriginal dances, martial arts, gymnastics, and funk. The list of
movements is enormous and requires dedication and discipline to be carried out.
The movements of B-boying can be classified into four branches: style or Top
Rock (dancing above), footwork (footwork), power moves (power moves) and
freeze (you freeze in a pose)


This type of acrobatic dance was developed by James Brown in 1969 at that
time the Breakdance was not the same today, there were many movements of
soil, but it seemed impossible speed that could acquire the legs of a breaker of
that era and complex movements that could be developed, it was called Rock
Floor.





71


GRAFFITI:

Hip hop culture is almost complete, music and dancing, but we need to talk
about art in this culture the term Graffiti.


This communication is used later as a protest against political or any other entity
with which the people do not fully agree embers, the phenomenon of protest
using the visual pathway and painted on the walls begins during the period of
1965-1970 . Just then, the graffiti in Philadelphia today know all nicknames and
names with different shapes and colors making a sad wall a work of art with
trying to draw attention being shown.

Rafael Nadal, the world number one, suffered a bone edema during the Australias
Open Final. He lost to Stanislas Wawrinka. That's the conclusion of medical tests that
had in Barcelona. Then he will decide whether to participate in the tour clay, which
should start on the 10th of February in Buenos Aires, to follow later in Rio de Janeiro.
Nadal is now treated with intensive physiotherapy and anti-inflammatory. The

Australias Open. During the morning, Rafael Maym , his physical therapist , begins
working on his back taking advantage of the muscles. He already feels the effects of
ibuprofen and muscle relaxants taken from the day before. The number one speaks of a
muscle spasm . He says that on his return to Spain, he will have tests to identify the
source of a problem that attacked him in Monte Carlo and Montreal 2013.

An optical illusion (also called a visual illusion) is characterized by visually
perceived images that differ from objective reality. The information gathered by
the eye is processed in the brain to give a perception that does not tally with a
physical measurement of the stimulus source.

There are three main types: literal optical illusions that create images that are
different from the objects that make them, physiological ones that are the effects
on the eyes and brain of excessive stimulation of a specific type (brightness,
colour, size, position, tilt, movement), and cognitive illusions, the result of
unconscious inferences.





















85


Una ilusin ptica (tambin llamado una ilusin visual) se caracteriza por las
imgenes percibidas visualmente que difieren de la realidad objetiva. La
informacin recopilada por el ojo es procesada en el cerebro para dar una
percepcin que no concuerda con una medida fsica de la fuente de estmulo.

Hay tres tipos principales: ilusiones pticas literales que crean imgenes que son
diferentes de los objetos que las componen, las fisiolgicas que son los efectos
sobre los ojos y el cerebro de la estimulacin excesiva de un tipo especfico
(brillo, color, tamao, posicin, inclinacin , movimiento), y las ilusiones
cognitivas, el resultado de inferencias inconscientes.

86


Muchos artistas han aprovechado las ilusiones pticas para dar a sus obras un
aspecto mgico, de profundidad, de ambigedad y contrastes.
Las ilusiones pticas fisiolgicamente ocurren durante la conexin del hemisferio
derecho y el izquierdo, gracias a esto tenemos la capacidad de percepcin.



























Many artists have taken advantage of optical illusions to give his works a
magical aspect, depth, ambiguity and contrasts.

Optical illusions occur physiologically during connection of the right
hemisphere and the left, thanks to this we have the ability of perception.

87

-Qu ocurre cuando vemos una ilusin ptica?
Segn parece, el cerebro, programado para esperar ciertas cosas de la realidad,
compara todo lo que ve con ese conocimiento innato y luego saca sus
conclusiones. Adems, continuamente van adquirindose otros conocimientos
que, junto con el innato, el cerebro utiliza para analizar lo que percibe y lograr
una lenta comprensin de la realidad.
En la mayora de los casos, el cerebro procesa bien los datos visuales, pero a
veces se equivoca.
-Pueden ciertas formas provocar ms confusin visual que otras?
Al cerebro parece costarle trabajo formarse una imagen exacta de ciertas figuras
geomtricas: cuando ve un crculo, lo considera menor de lo que es, e incluso al
ver una forma aparentemente tan sencilla como la de un cuadrado, puede
parecerle ms alta que ancha. Y si resulta que el cuadrado est de lado o no
puede verse de frente, su forma se vuelve todava ms difcil de reconocer.
Espejismo
Un espejismo es una ilusin ptica en la que los objetos lejanos aparecen
reflejados en una superficie lisa como si se estuviera contemplando una
superficie lquida que, en realidad, no existe.
El aire en contacto con el suelo trrido se calienta y su densidad vara de tal
manera que, contrario a lo usual, el aire ms fro se mantiene encima del ms
caliente. Esto crea una densidad desigual en el aire que le otorga varios ndices
de refraccin.
- What happens when we see an optical illusion?
It appears that the brain is programmed to expect certain things from reality,
comparing it to everything you see with our innate knowledge and then it draws
conclusions. In addition, they are continually being acquired other knowledge,
along with the innate, the brain uses to analyze, what you perceive and achieve a
gradual understanding of reality .
In most cases, the brain processes visual data properly, but sometimes
incorrectly.
- Can some illusions be moreconfusing than others?
The brain seems struggle to process an accurate picture of certain geometric
figures: when you see a circle, you consider it smaller than what it actually is,
and even if you see a simple shape like a square, may seem taller than wide. And
if it turns out that the square is on its side, its shape becomes even more difficult
to recognize.
Mirage
A mirage is an optical illusion in which distant objects are reflected on a smooth
surface like if we were contemplating a liquid surface that actually does not
exist.
The air in contact with the hot soil is heated and its density varies in such a way
that, contrary to the usual, cooler air is maintained above warmer. This creates
an uneven density in the air that gives various refractive indices.

A possible twin of the Earth has been an overdraft in orbit of a star similar to the
Sun to 600 years - lights of us, and the new planet can unite the characteristics to
be inhabitable, as he has said the FISHNET on Monday.

Discovered by the spatial mission Kepler, the new nicknamed planet Keppler -
22b, it is smaller than Neptune and is the inhabitable first one who has been in
this system.

Un posible gemelo de la Tierra ha sido descubierto en rbita de una estrella
similar al sol a 600 aos-luz de nosotros, y el nuevo planeta puede aunar las
caractersticas para ser habitable, segn ha dicho la NASA el lunes.

Descubierto por la misin espacial Kepler, el nuevo planeta apodado Keppler-
22b, es ms pequeo que Neptuno y es el primero habitable que se ha
encontrado en ese sistema.

El planeta Kepler-186f es ligeramente mayor que la Tierra y est en lo que se
denomina zona de habitabilidad, es decir, a una distancia del astro a la que el
agua ni se evaporara ni se congelara.

Los cientficos sealan que, tericamente, all podra haber agua en estado
lquido en la superficie.

The planet Kepler-186f is lightly bigger than the Earth and it is in what is named
a zone of habitability, that is to say, to a distance of the star to which it would
evaporate it would not even freeze.

The scientists indicate that, theoretically, there might be water in liquid
condition in the surface.

-Kepler-186f es un exoplaneta que orbita la estrella enana roja Kepler-186. Es el
primer planeta del tamao de la Tierra que ha sido descubierto en la zona
habitable de una estrella.

-Es el planeta ms pequeo encontrado dentro de la zona habitable de una
estrella y se cree que pueda albergar agua en forma lquida.

-Se encuentra a unos 492,3 aos luz de la tierra y su radio es solo 11%
ms grande que el de la Tierra.




90

-Kepler-186f orbits a star with about 4% of the Sun's luminosity with an orbital
period of 129.9 days.

-Its temperature is from - 46 C on average, assuming an atmosphere like the
Earth.

-Being a planet similar in size to the Earth, be rocky and oceans, its gravity is
expected to be similar to the Earth.

Es una patraa del autoengao, pero que al menos ni hacen dao a
nadie, ni las hemos de pagar todos con cargo a la Seguridad social.
Aseguran que la mayora de sus usuarios experimentan en su vida
aumento de equilibrio, fuerza, flexibilidad, resistencia, coordinacin o

Nada que no pueda conseguirse durmiendo lo necesario, bebiendo
menos alcohol o llevando una vida ms ordenada. Pero que alguien
piense que ponindose una pulsera pueden desaparecer casi todos los
males pasados, presentes y venideros, parecido al de quien lleva
encima una estampa de la Virgen del moco. Las copias piratas han
comenzado a brotar como hongos, aunque los importadores de las
pulseras originales dicen que no son lo mismo porque sus hologramas
"no han sido activados".
Nadie sabe como "se activan" los hologramas. Es un secreto mejor
guardado que la frmula de la Coca Cola. Segn las webs que venden
esta tecnologa, la base de las pulseras consiste en un holograma
que funciona a travs de frecuencias que se encuentran en nuestro
ambiente natural de las cuales ya conocemos de sus efectos positivos
en el campo de energa del cuerpo.

Self-deception is a hoax, but at least nor hurt anyone, nor have paid all under
Social Security. Ensure that most users experience in their life increased
balance, strength, flexibility, endurance, coordination or rhythm.

Nothing that can not be achieved the necessary sleeping, drinking less alcohol or
taking a more orderly life. But someone thinks that putting a bracelet can
disappear almost all past, present and future evils, like who takes up a picture of
theVirgen del moco. Pirated copies have started to sprout like mushrooms,
although the original bracelets importers say they are not the same because their
holograms "have not been activated."

Nobody knows how holograms "activated". It is a best kept to the formula of
Coca Cola secret. According to the websites that sell this "technology", the basis
of bracelets is a "hologram that works across frequencies found in our natural
environment which we know of its positive effects on the body's energy field" .

Technology is used as much to satisfy our needs as to make our life's easier,
technological activity affects the social and economic progress of each country,
but its fully commercial character makes it focused more on satisfying the
desires of the wealthy , which leads to consumerism .

















Technology can also be used to protect the environment and to prevent the
growing necessities from provoking a depletion or degradation , it makes it
easier to communicate with others who live in other parts of the world that we
don't have frequent contact with , technology keeps us informed at all times on
news and current affairs ... Technology has saved many lives , the medical
advances we have today are not those what we had 70 years ago, within a short
time the world has become a large social network that unites us all through
internet , television and video games, a world that revolves around technology
and consumerism.

New technologies which are made for leisure ( mobile phones, playstation .. ),
have a negative impact on our lives , young children only want to be playing
with video games and on computers and teenagers only want to stay at home and
be on their mobiles and social networks , they get into their virtual world and no
matter who they are, they will pay more attention to a WhatsApp that they just
got sent rather then their friends or parents... Another downside to technology is
the danger of internet , we don't wh is behind a facebook profile, not knowing
who you talk to , who visits your profile or who sees your photos, social
networking is one of the most common type of harassment, it has even caused
suicides and blackmail, exchanging is the most common reason .

La dieta mediterrnea es un tipo de dieta
saludable, equilibrada y variada en la
cual predominan los alimentos obtenidos
de cultivos tradicionales de la zona
mediterrnea.
Los alimentos que constituyen esta dieta
son:

- Pan y pasta (hidratos de carbono).
- Aceite de oliva (grasa).
- Vino en pequeas cantidades durante
las comidas.
- Las hortalizas, las frutas, los frutos
secos y las legumbres aportan a esta
dieta fibra y antioxidantes.

- El pescado, las aves de corral, los productos lcteos y los huevos como
principal fuente de protenas.

La dieta mediterrnea como una dieta saludable se descubri gracias a los
estudios realizados a partir de estudios nutricionales en Grecia donde se detect
una incidencia de arteriosclerosis, enfermedades cardiovasculares y
enfermedades degenerativas inferior a la media, por lo que la esperanza de vida
era mayor.

Posteriormente, Ancel Keys realiz un extenso estudio para investigar los
hbitos dietticos de siete pases entre los que se encontraban cuatro pases no
mediterrneos: Estados Unidos, Japn, Finlandia y Holanda, y tres pases
mediterrneos: Yugoslavia, Italia y Grecia. Con este estudio se observ que los
pases mediterrneos tenan una dieta con unas caractersticas comunes que
todos ellos posean.

Debido a la necesidad de esquematizar y de conocer la proporcin de cada
alimento dentro de una dieta equilibrada surgi la pirmide alimentaria, que nos
es muy til a la hora de seguir esta dieta..

La conclusin que podemos obtener sobre la dieta mediterrnea es que es una
dieta saludable y equilibrada, y que si la complementamos con paseos al aire
libre y actividad fsica puede ser muy beneficiosa para nuestro propio organismo
y tambin da lugar a unos hbitos de vida saludables.

The Mediterranean diet is a type of healthy, balanced and varied diet in which
predominate the food got from traditional crops in the mediterranean area.
The food that constitute this diet are:

- Bread and pasta (carbohydrates).
- Olive oil (fat).
- Wine in small amounts for the meals.
- Vegetables, fruits, dried fruits and
legumes provide to this diet fiber and
antioxidants.
- Fish, poultry, dairy products and eggs as a
main source of protein.


The Mediterranean diet as a healthy diet
was discovered thank to the studies
realized from the nutritional studies in Greece where was detected a incidence
of arteriosclerosis, cardiovascular disease and degenerative diseases below the
average, so that life expectancy was higher. por debajo de la media.

Subsequently, Ancel Keys performed a extense study to investigate the dietetic
habits of seven countries including four countries not mediterraneans: United
States, Japan, Finland and Holland, and three mediterraneans: Yugoslavia, Italy
and Greece. With this study was observed that the Mediterranean countries had a
diet with common characteristics they all had.

Due to the need to outline and to know the proportion of each food within a
balanced diet was the food pyramid, which is very useful to follow a diet.

The conclusion we can obtain of the mediterranean diet is that it is an healthy
and balanced diet, and that if we complement it with walks in the open air and
physical activity can be very beneficial for our own body, and also leads to
healthy life habits.

DROGAS.
La verdad sobre las drogas

Gracias a investigaciones clnicas y farmacolgicas, existen miles de frmacos y drogas
que ayudan a las personas. Los antibiticos y las vacunas revolucionaron el tratamiento
de las infecciones. Los medicamentos permiten bajar la presin, tratar la diabetes y
reducir el rechazo de los rganos trasplantados por parte de nuestro organismo. Los
medicamentos pueden curar una enfermedad, hacerla ms lenta o prevenirla, lo cual nos
ayuda a disfrutar de vidas ms sanas y felices. Pero tambin existen muchas drogas
ilegales y nocivas que las personas consumen porque creen que las ayudan a sentirse
mejor o pasarla bien.

Cmo actan las drogas? Las drogas son sustancias qumicas que modifican el
funcionamiento de nuestro organismo. Cuando las introduces dentro del cuerpo (por
ingestin, inhalacin o inyeccin), las drogas llegan al torrente sanguneo y son
transportadas a distintas partes del cuerpo, como el cerebro. En el cerebro, las drogas
pueden intensificar o adormecer tus sentidos, alterar tu estado de alerta y, en algunos
casos, reducir el dolor fsico.

Las drogas pueden ser tiles o nocivas. Los efectos de las drogas pueden variar segn el
tipo de droga, la cantidad que se toma, la frecuencia con la que se la usa y la rapidez con
la que llega al cerebro; tambin varan segn qu otras drogas, alimentos o sustancias se
tomen al mismo tiempo. Los efectos tambin pueden ser diferentes segn la qumica, la
forma y el tamao del organismo.

Si bien las drogas pueden hacerte sentir bien en un primer momento, a la larga pueden
provocar un gran dao al organismo y al cerebro. Beber alcohol, fumar tabaco,
consumir drogas ilegales e inhalar pegamento son actividades que pueden provocar
grave dao al cuerpo humano. Algunas drogas afectan seriamente la capacidad de una
persona para tomar decisiones acertadas. Los adolescentes que beben, por ejemplo,
tienen ms probabilidades de involucrarse en situaciones peligrosas, como conducir
bajo los efectos del alcohol o tener relaciones sexuales sin proteccin.




112

El alcohol
Efectos y peligros:
El alcohol acta primero como un estimulante y, despus, hace que las personas se
sientan relajadas y un poco adormecidas.
Las dosis elevadas de alcohol afectan seriamente la cordura y la coordinacin. Los
bebedores pueden arrastrar las palabras al hablar, presentar confusin, depresin,
prdida de la memoria de corto plazo y tiempos de reaccin ms lentos.
Si se beben grandes cantidades de alcohol en un breve perodo de tiempo, se puede
producir una intoxicacin etlica.

Medicamentos para la tos y el
resfriado
Efectos y peligros:
Las dosis pequeas ayudan a suprimir la tos, pero si las dosis son mayores,
pueden provocar fiebre, confusin, imposibilidad de razonamiento, visin
borrosa, mareos, paranoia, exceso de transpiracin, dificultad para hablar,
nuseas, vmitos, dolor abdominal, frecuencia cardaca irregular, presin arterial
elevada, cefaleas, letargia, adormecimiento de los dedos, enrojecimiento de la
cara, sequedad y picazn en la piel, prdida del conocimiento, convulsiones,
dao cerebral e, incluso, la muerte.

A veces, los consumidores toman por error jarabes que, adems de
dextrometorfano, contienen otros medicamentos. Las dosis elevadas de estos
otros medicamentos pueden provocar lesiones graves, como dao heptico,
daos u otros efectos negativos en el corazn e incluso la muerte.

DRUGS.
The truth on drugs

Thanks to clinical and pharmacological investigations, there exist thousands of
medicaments and drugs that help the persons. The antibiotics and the vaccines
revolutionized the treatment of the infections. The medicines allow to lower the
pressure, to treat the diabetes and to reduce the rejection of the organs
transplanted on the part of our organism. The medicines can treat a disease,
make her slower or prepare her, which helps us to enjoy healthier and happy
lives. But also there exist many illegal and harmful drugs that the persons
consume because they believe that they help themselves feel them better or to
spend it well.


How do they operate the drugs? The drugs are chemical substances that modify
the functioning of our organism. When you introduce them inside the body (for
ingestion, inhalation or injection), the drugs come to the blood torrent and are
transported to different parts of the body, as the brain. In the brain, the drugs can
intensify or lull your senses, to alter your state of alert and, in some cases, to
reduce the physical pain.


The drugs can be useful or harmful. The effects of the drugs can change
according to the type of drug, the quantity that takes, the frequency with which
she is used and the rapidity with the one that comes to the brain; also they
change according to what other drugs, food or substances take at the same time.
The effects also can be different according to the chemistry, the form and the
size of the organism.


Though the drugs can make you feel well in the first moment, eventually they
can provoke a great hurt the organism and the brain. To drink alcohol, to smoke
tobacco, to consume illegal drugs and to inhale glue are activities that can
provoke serious hurt the human body. Some drugs affect seriously the capacity
of a person to take guessed right decisions. The teenagers who drink, for
example, have more probabilities of interfering in dangerous situations, as
driving under the effects of the alcohol or having sexual relations without
protection.




114

The alcohol
Effects and dangers

The alcohol acts first as a stimulant and, later, it does that the persons feel
relaxed and a bit sleepy.
The high doses of alcohol affect seriously the sanity and the coordination.
The drinkers can drag the words on having spoken, having presented confusion,
depression, loss of the memory of short term and slower times of reaction.
If big quantities of alcohol are drunk in a brief period of time, it is possible
to produce a poisoning etilica


Medicines for the cough and the cold
Effects and dangers:

The small doses help to suppress the cough, but if the doses are major, can
provoke
Fever, confusion, impossibility of reasoning, blurry vision, motion
sicknesses, paranoia, excess of perspiration, difficulty to speak, nauseas, vomits,
abdominal pain, cardiac irregular frequency, arterial high pressure, migraines,
lethargy, drowsiness of the fingers, reddening of the face, dryness and itch in the
skin, loss of the knowledge, convulsions, cerebral and, enclosed hurt, the death.
Sometimes, the consumers take as a mistake syrups that, besides
dextrometorfano, contain other medicines. The high doses of these other
medicines can provoke serious injuries, as hepatic hurt, hurts or other negative
effects in the heart and even the death.

PEANUT ALLERGY TREATMENT
A SUCCESS
Doctors say a potencial treatment for a peanut allergy has transformed the lives of
children taking part in a large clinical trial. The 85 children had to eat peanut protein
every day initially in small doses, but ramped up during the study. The findings,
published in the Lancet, suggest 84% of allergic children could eat the equivalent of
five peanuts a day after six months.
Experts have warned that the therapy is not yet ready for widespread use. Peanuts are
the most common cause of fatal allergic reactions to food.




There is no treatment so the only option for patients is to avoid them completely,
leading to a lifetime of checking every food label before a meal. The theory was that
patients started at the extremely low dose, well below the threshold for an allergic
response.

el 84% de nios con alergia comen el equivalente a cinco cacahuetes al da despus de
seis meses. Los expertos advierten que la terapia no est extendida an su uso. Los
cacahuetes son la causa ms comn de las reacciones alrgicas en las comidas. No hay
un tratamiento as que la opcin slo para los pacientes es evitarlo completamente. Lo
principal es revisar todas las etiquetas de las comidas antes de comerlas.

Nosotros los adolescentes tendemos a no tener ningn tipo de control sobre cualquier
tipo de sustancia, incluyendo el alcohol, tabaco, etc. como droga legal. Lo que en
consecuencia hace que su consumo sea irresponsable, abusivo y daino. Las
restricciones legales con respecto al tabaco y al alcohol son positivas pero no evitan el
acceso de los adolescentes a estas y a otras drogas peores como cocana, marihuana,
xtasis, pastillas, etc. En drogas no legales existe un mayor consumo por parte de
adolescentes, ya que, al no existir unas normas legales a la hora de acceder a ellas, las
personas que las facilitan no tienen problema alguno en vender las cantidades que sea a
un menor de la edad que sea.
La marihuana, es una de las drogas que menos dependencia fsica genera, el consumo en
un adulto puede ser ms fcilmente controlado por el usuario de esta droga, cosa que un
adolescente, tiende a no tenerla.
Resumiendo, el poco autocontrol, la poca personalidad, conciencia social y personal de
un adolescente con su mente an por formar hace que sea el blanco perfecto para
cualquier tipo de droga y que no sepa frenar a tiempo, dejarla o salir de ese mundo.
Las drogas, tambin, cambian o destrozan las relaciones con quien te rodea, pero no
todo el mundo se puede enfrentar a esa clase de cosas sin caer en algo peor o sin saber
resolver sus problemas en la adolescencia.

We tend to not have any control over any substance, including alcohol, tobacco, etc. as
a legal drug. This consequently makes their consumption irresponsible, abusive and
harmful. The legal restrictions on alcohol and tobacco are positive but they do not
prevent teenagers from getting these and other drugs which are worse, such as cocaine,
marihuana, ecstasy, pills, etc. The illegal drugs have a higher consumption by
adolescents because of the absence of legal restraints so that the people who provide
them are able to sell whatever amount to underage youths without any trouble.

Marihuana is a drug that generates less physical dependence, consumption in an adult
can be controlled more easily by the user, however teenagers tend to lack this self-
control.
So basically, the little self-control, the little personality, and the social and personal
awareness of teenagers with their immature mind make them the perfect target for any
drug and they are not able to stop in time or leave out of this world.

Drugs, too, change or destroy relationships that are around you, but not everyone can
cope with that sort of thing without being worse without knowing or solve their
problems in adolescence.

-Effects on General Physical Health

Within a few minutes after inhaling marijuana smoke, an individual's heart rate speeds
up, the bronchial passages relax and become enlarged, and blood vessels in the eyes
expand, making the eyes look red. The heart ratenormally 70 to 80 beats per
minutemay increase by 20 to 50 beats per minute, or may even double in some cases.
Taking other drugs with marijuana can amplify this effect.
Limited evidence suggests that a person's risk of heart attack during the first hour after
smoking marijuana is four times his or her usual risk.
In addition, marijuana has the potential to promote cancer of the lungs and other parts
of the respiratory tract.









-Effects on the Brain

As THC ( a component of the marijuana) enters the brain, it causes the user to
feel euphoric by acting on the brain's reward system.

Along with euphoria, relaxation is another frequently reported effect in human
studies. Other effects are heightened sensory perception (brighter colors),
laughter, altered perception of time, and increased appetite. After a while, the
euphoria subsides, and the user may feel sleepy or depressed. Occasionally,
marijuana use may produce anxiety, fear, distrust, or panic.

Marijuana use impairs a person's ability to form new memories and to shift
focus. THC also disrupts coordination and balanceparts of the brain that regulate
balance, posture, coordination, and reaction time. Therefore, learning, doing
complicated tasks, participating in athletics, and driving are also affected.

What is it?
In medicine, transplantation is a complex medical treatment that involves
moving organs, tissues or cells from one person to another. The transplanted
organ replaces and assumes the role of the receptor organ damage, saving his life
or improving the quality of life. A variety of solid organs and tissues can be

associated with this procedure depending on the type of transplant, which often
include infection and graft rejection.

The first successful transplantation of our era was stratum registered in 1905,
conducted by Eduard Zirm. The first kidney was in the Peter Brigham Hospital

FEAR OF FLYING
1
I was waiting resigned in the queue to enter the plane. I started to feel that
terrible familiar oppression that always appeared when I was about to embark on
a new trip.
I hated having to fly due to work; I always tortured myself thinking that I
would end my days crashing with a plane making money for others.
They sat in their comfortable leather armchairs, rubbing their hands together
each time I closed a new deal. It was no use travelling in first class, although the
parades of feasts and flattery had always come in handy to distract me; a pillow
over here, a blanket over there But now, because of the cuts, nearly all flights
were economic class.
Anyway, I felt used.
I knew the flight wouldnt last more than an hour and a half, but that didnt
calm me down. I thought about the altitude, the wind, the state of the pilots, each
and every one of the thousands of factors that could cause a fatality. The affable
faces of the check-in staff didnt calm me down at all. They would stay on the
ground and would go to have breakfast as soon as we had taken off.
What jealousy! I thought.
I looked at my ticket and discovered that my seat was 6F not bad I thought.
From my seat I could keep an eye on how the flight went by; if the faces of the
stewardesses changed due to turbulence, if a strange passenger got up to go to
the WC, I would control the crying babies that wouldnt let me sleep even under
the effects of sleeping pills; nothing would escape my supervision.
As soon as I sat down, I checked the safety belt, went over the emergency
measures; one had to be prepared, just in case. I switched off my mobile phone,
and checked that the air conditioning vent was working to perfection. I arranged
the load of magazines for later: Marie Claire, Vogue, Cosmopolitan, etc. I didnt
really know why I kept buying them when I seldom read them; I only browsed
them; barely paying attention to them. Since I had my tablet, I rarely stopped the
hammering of my fingers looking for information, looking over balance sheets
or reading my favourite author.
125

All passengers went by slowly. I wished that all those people would finally
take their seats, and that we would leave the airport as soon as possible.
I was very restless. I remembered the short email that my boss had sent:
Tomorrow to New York, you have to seal a new deal with the Orientals. Only
you can do it, good luck precious. You know Im counting on you.
My mean boss knew I hated flying, and on top of that, the weather forecast
showed some signs of a storm during the journey. Thats why he hadnt even
called me by phone. He was already enjoying his well earned Christmas
holidays; such a hypocritical man! He always repeated that we had to lift the
business between everyone, and that in hard times we all had to work harder.
But at this time of the year, with two days before New Years Eve, my boss was
on holiday in his house of the Reunion Island; according to him, it was always
summer over there.
It wasnt funny at all; I would freeze to death in snowy New York, inflating
his wallet so that he could pay for his cravings. Thats how life was, although I
earned my salary well, I couldnt compare myself with the owner of the
multinational.
I felt passionate about my job and I nearly always I left with my way. It was
something that drove me crazy, especially when my victims were distracted
completely. Whenever they saw me coming, they thought I was the typical
stupid and plugged blonde that the big boss sent as a last option. After fifteen
minutes, they were sweating like pigs and didnt know where to hide their fake
reports and secret accounts; in the end, they would confess, and I managed to get
hold of their company in less than two hours; having spare time to walk through
the Fifth Avenue and buy some whims. Although because of the weather, I
doubted I could do it this time.
But inside the plane everything was different. I didnt feel confident. The
security that overflowed on all four sides in an office, evaporated until it
consumed me. Then, I was reduced to a tiny and worse version of me: nervous,
frantic, angry and scared. Some people called it aerophobia, I called it: a shitty
luck!
The flight was full to the brim. I had already asked a stewardess in check-in if
she could leave the seat next to me empty. She looked at me with a satisfied face
and informed that the flight was full. It was clear that this just wasnt my day, I
126

was going to end the year the same way it had started: in a crowded flight to the
big apple.
Sat next to me was a couple that didnt stop cuddling and caressing each
other, and although I wasnt much older than them, I thought that so much
embracing was out of order; they were too old for that. I put my headphones on
and turned the volume up on my Ipad. I tried to think of something other than
the noise of the planes engines accelerating for taking off. Then, the
documentary about Tibetan bowls used to cure the spirit and the illnesses I had
seen on the Discovery Channel the night before while I tried to sleep came to my
mind.
There was no going back, I really felt like getting up from my seat and
shouting at the stewardesses, telling them to stop the machine immediately.
Eventually, I succumbed to the inevitable, and I thought about all the planes that
would be taking off around the world in those precise moments, and the rare
probabilities that it would be my turn

I remained immobile in my
seat for over fifteen minutes.
The evening flight had left on
time at six oclock in the
morning; so nearly everyone
slept in their seats. I lifted to
look at the hundreds of heads
that jostled slightly to the side to
which the plane veered. Nearly all of them were crouched their seats on the
shoulders of their companions.
I couldnt see the moment in which the stewardesses passed giving out
breakfast, another excuse to distract my attention, and my panic of flying.

I got up from my seat between grunts and hypocritical smiles of the lovers; I
needed to go to the bathroom; nerves had stopped me from going to the toilet in
the airport, and now, somewhat more relaxed I started to notice a certain
pressure in my bladder.
127

When I reached the bathroom, the placard was showing occupied, so I had to
wait. After a while, the youngest stewardess pointed out that it was broken. The
door didnt close properly, and I could get locked inside. She suggested me
going to the toilet at the tail of the plane. I looked at the never-ending hallway of
the Boeing, and I told the lady about my panic of flying. I begged her to let me
go in that one, even if I would have to leave the door ajar so it would not close.
She doubted for an instant, and before she could answer me, I was already there.
The woman put a little bag with some plastic cutlery in the door that now had
an out of order sign, to avoid it closing and leaving me locked inside.
I heard the hustle of breakfast on the adjacent wall, if I was lucky I could get
out before the woman appeared with the breakfast tray. When I was about to
leave, I remembered that apart from the claustrophobia of the place, there was a
tiny sink in which to wash my hands. I was drying them when I heard the
laughter of the stewardesses finishing their coffee. Then, like a gust of wind I
heard them pass pushing the tray. Unfortunately for me, the narrowness of the
path made the food tray drag the fragile plastic cutlery that held the door with it.
I heard the light crunch, looked towards the door, and tried to extend my half
wet hand, even though I knew it was too late to hold it. The door closed.
Suddenly, a sensation of asphyxia seized me. I looked to one side and another
trying to find a window that could help me escape that sensation of burden. I
turned the door knob in all directions. I jostled it, I shook the door with violence,
I pushed it, I pulled it inwards and outwards, but there was no way.
Nobody heard me outside; the festive moment of breakfast was on board. I
noticed that I was missing air, and that bit by bit everything around me was
going fuzzy, Was I going to faint?. Finally, I fell sideways, the last thing I
thought of, was the stewardess and I hoped she would remember I was still
there.
Thrown in a tiny washbasin at more than ten thousand metres of height,
without medical crew that could attend to me, silence surrounded me. Then,
everything went black.
