March 20, 2013 Karen

The account opens this Friday, day on which Rubalcaba has made public that leaves the Government. Among their first tweets is that Rubalcaba follows the line of the brand: we are here to listen to your suggestions and criticisms and to listen to. The twitter of the Socialist candidate for the Presidency of the Government, Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba, has achieved almost 1,500 followers in his first open hour. This account of the aspirant, @conrubalcaba, has been opened this Friday evening with a first message: Hello, this is the twitter of the electoral team of Rubalcaba, who then added a second Tweet: we are here to listen to your suggestions and criticisms and to listen to. It has been Elena Valenciano, the campaign manager of the hitherto Vice President first Government, responsible for encouraging to participate in this account, which has received messages of greeting and encouragement to the applicant. But also any ironic, as new generations of Salamanca that says: Although Zapatero view silk…unemployment stays, or another message with this phrase: coincidences between the Governments of Felipe Gonzalez and Zapatero: ruin, the unemployment, the PSOE and Rubalcaba. Source of the news: Rubalcaba on Twitter account gets 1,500 followers in his first hour of existence

Fast And Furious 5 Arrives

March 18, 2013 Karen

The saga fast and furious, I saw the light in 2001, has established itself as a solid action and racing franchise. And although five films to date are quite irregular among themselves, should recognize the merit of always deliver adrenalinicas persecutions, voluptuous girls, non stop action and lots testosterone. This fifth part follows the path of the previous tape (2009), brings back the dupla protagonist (Vin Diesel and Paul Walker) and adds interesting elements that refresh the franchise. On the one hand we have Dwight the rock Johnson, who embodies a fun police head of muscle and, on the other, the attractive location of Rio de Janeiro, where the plot unfolds. Clearly, this river has nothing to do with the animated film.The plot is the least. Rather, it is an excuse that repeated the modus operandi of previous tapes it is say, gather a team to perform a great blow – to confront our antiheros with forces of the place. In this case, the very corrupt police of River, bribed by villanesco Hernan Reyes (De Almeida). The rest is what is expected of these tapes.

Much fighting hand-to-hand, dialogues very male, sports cars and close to caricature car chases. In that sense, the sequence of the heroes by dragging a vault by the Brazilian streets must be of the best action scenes on four wheels for the last time. But perhaps best of all is that the film does not take itself seriously. And that is appreciated. Again from the hand of the Taiwanese director Justin Lin, fast and furious 5 demonstrates that you still has gasoline to the saga. Although not too much.

IV International Congress

March 8, 2013 Karen

The past 29 March ended, in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia, the IV International Congress of the Spanish language (CILE). A meeting which sparked a very positive reaction which was reflected in the massive public assistance to lectures, discussions and workshops that filled the agenda and where was highlighted the importance and the challenges that the future, has the Spanish language within the social, cultural and economic dynamics of globalized society. There were many topics that people who made his distinctive contribution were discussed in this call and many: writers, musicians, academics and characters in different instances, political and social; some very well known by all of us, other not so much. I will try to do a summary of the topics discussed and the views and most relevant proposals which, at the close of the event and yet to digest and implement many of them, they open a not inconsiderable range, content and projects an issue that seems to have been reflected in many of the meetings and is necessary highlight because it was widely discussed was that of the role of the Spanish language in the field of world trade, in particular was on the advantage, not fully exploited, meaning the language for all Spanish-speaking America countries and interest in their potential use as a vehicle of integration and as a common link of facilitation of any trade agreement, both tanto privado private like national. Within this conception is remarkable start-up start-up plan of Brazil’s becoming a bilingual country to incorporate the Spanish as a second official language of the nation. This idea is not new, because already in the year 2005 the President Da Silva signed a decree in this respect and since then it has been working towards the goal of reaching for the year 2012 to 9 million Brazilian children and young people that they will study Spanish as a second language within the educational system of the giant of the South thisin my opinion, demonstrates a clear vision of what is coming in the future in the short term and a clear interpretation of the demonstrable realities today and I support discussed in the CILE: according to data discussed in the meeting, are already 14 million people who study Spanish as a second language in the world, recalling furthermore that the Spanish is the fourth most commonly used in Internet language, after English, Chinese and Hindi; (must be done except that of these only four English and the Spanish are languages of communication between different countries while the Chinese and Hindi are native languages); These figures imply an increase close to 10% worldwide in the last 8 years, which in terms of population dynamics is nothing despicable and least negligible even if taken into consideration the signing of several free trade between U.S.
