Social Nets. (networks)

The places of social nets, like MySpace, Facebook, Tuenti.. They have atrackted millions of users, many of which use these social net started in 1997. Six.Degrees.com, it allowed the users to create profiles. From there, nets have been abancing increasingly. Now the majority of people deass with social nets thet they often use.

I think that social nets are a good inventation, which helps us to comunicate more and to have a better. Social level, since social nets are used to know people or simply to speak with your friends. Let's say that social nets open new ways of communication of the human begin.

It is necessary to consider thet there are also risks in the abuse of social nets, as Facebook or Tuenti that million users grup in the whole world. The danger affects principally the adolescents. Seven of every ten members of these nets are 35 years old minors.

Their selection of the contacts does not the acces to the information of any person, provate information, photos or documents.

Becaus of it, i think that people thet ypu don't know must not have permissed to accede to your net. In your Tuenti you can chose a privaciti opinion.

Everyone who has an account in a social net, specially the adolescents, should have privacity in his profile. They should conceal all his information, his images and documents that contains the account of his social net.

Gripe A (H1N1)

The 2009 flu pandemic is a global outbreak of a new strain of an influenza A virus subtype H1N1, referred to as the "novel H1N1" first identified in April 2009, and commonly called "swine flu." It is thought to be a reassortment of four known strains of influenza A virus.

The outbreak began in Mexico, with evidence that Mexico was already in the midst of an epidemic for months before the outbreak was recognized. Soon after, its government closed down most of Mexico City's public and private offices and facilities to help contain the spread. In early June, as the virus spread globally, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak to be a pandemic, but also noted that most illnesses were of moderate severity.

In an attempt to slow the spread of the illness, a number of countries, especially in Asia, have quarantined airline passengers with flu symptoms, while some are also pre-screening passengers. WHO does not expect to have a full vaccine before the end of 2009, and vaccines available sooner may be limited and given first to healthcare workers, pregnant women, and other higher risk groups. Two or three injections will be required for maximum immunity from both the swine flu and seasonal flu. There is also concern if the new virus mutates further, it could become more virulent and less susceptible to any new vaccine.

Trainspotting.

Trainspotting is a Scotch movie of 1996 directed by Danny Boyle and based on the novel written by Irvine Welsh. It treats of a group of heroin addicts of Edinburgh that they do not have aspirations in his step along the life.

"Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players, and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed-interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisure wear and matching luggage. Choose a three piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked-up brats you have spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life . . . But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life: I chose something else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?"

The philosophy of life that there presents the principal personage, Mark Renton, is summarized in a question: why to choose life? Renton indicates initially of the movie that to continue to the mass and to take a normal life is complicated. That is to say, the addict does not work, does not have pair, has neither responsibilities nor mulberry tree, only it has to worry about obtaining what could sell to finance he itself his addiction. Therefore, it is not put stress, does not have you fight loving, and it is individual enough. Nevertheless, with to happen from the time, it realizes that it cannot be plunged in a circular destination, and decides to be useful. Mark's conscience is Diane, who indicates in a scene that everything is changing, included the music and the drugs, and that he cannot follow in this condition, notices that it is aging. Renton indicates that the people believe that the drug addiction is only a world of misery and desperation, but what many people forget is the pleasure.

The movie caused controversy in his time, since it was said that he was fomenting the use of drugs between the youth. The tape is considered to be one of five better British movies of all the times. It was an authentic bomb explosion both for his aesthetics and for his content, and it is there where the movie shines when they fuse an aesthetics that it would mark epoch and a few bold and accurate dialogs since human being had never treated himself about a way so crudamente the topic of the drugs.

Michael Jackson.
King of PoP.

Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009),
was an American musician and one of the most commercially successful entertainers of all time. His unique contributions to music and dance, along with a highly publicized personal life, made him a prominent figure in popular culture for four decades.

He started a solo career in 1971, having made his debut in 1964 as a member of The Jackson 5. His 1982 album Thriller remains the best-selling album of all time, with four others:

- Off the Wall (1979)
- Bad (1987)
- Dangerous (1991)
- HIStory (1995)

He is widely credited with having transformed the music video from a promotional tool into an art form, with videos such as "Billie Jea", "Beat It" and Thriller making him the first African American to amass a strong crossover following on MTV.

He married twice, first in 1994 and again in 1996, and brought up three children, one of them born to a surrogate mother. In 2005, he was tried and acquitted of child molestation allegations. Jackson died at the age of 50 on June 25, 2009, in Los Angeles, California after suffering from cardiac arrest. His memorial service was broadcast live around the world.
