The Sinde law.

Culture Minister of Spain, Angeles Gonzalez Sinde announced that his stinking law will be operational this summer. This law was approved on february 15, the PSOE, PP and CiU voted for it.

That law says that the new organitzation "Comisión de propiedad intelectual" will be able to close all the webs they want without have to say anything to any judge. I think that is crazy, i'm very angry with that because they will be able to do all that they want.

The culture minister think that this law will allow a lot of business be create in internet. Jajaja I laugh about that, they think that they will be able to control the net but anyone can control it, is a monster, is the biggest thing ever saw, there are a lot of secret servers and hackers who have more protection in their nets that a nuclear bunker. This law is a shit followed by the big law, "Ley de Economía Sostenible" it seems a joke.

Sustainable economy? in Spain? are you kidding me? my god this nation is old, tired, she can do anything to improve her health, now she only can die and I don't want to be there when that happen.

Govern abolishes this law now! You are crazy! Internet is free! Is for all the people and they can do all that they want there! Everybody pays for it, it have to be a right!

Carnival of Sant Pere

This saturday, fifth of March of 2011, I went to Sant Pere to celebrate the carnival. There I met a lot of my friends. We wore the same dress fancy, a boxer costume. I wore a red and long cape, a red pants and some bands at the arms to look more like a boxer. At the beginning of the party we go into the saloon because in the steet was too cold. We danced and drank something there and then we go out. In the street I met Aleix Serra dressed as a pregnant gypsy with a black wig and a dirty dress. Also I met Pep Esteve dressed as a sheepherder with a white wig and a funny shirt.

At three o'clock we went to Pep Clotas house to relax ourselves a little time listening good music and playing cards. Later I went with my girlfriend for a walk through the village, we talked about our friends and expressed our love. When we returned to the party it was finished, the Dj was holding his things and the people was leaving the saloon. At five o'clock, the party ends and I went to home with my girlfriend to sleep.

Hope for early bowel cancer DNA test

NOTICE:

Scientists have discovered what could be the first step towards a DNA test to detect the early signs of bowel cancer.

Tests on two distinct genes were highly accurate in distinguishing between tumours and benign polyps - growths in the bowel that can become cancerous.

While not all polyps in the bowel become cancerous it is thought almost all bowel cancers develop from polyps.

The Cambridge study, in the BMJ journal Gut, analysed 261 samples from patients with benign polyps or bowel cancer.

In particular it looked at what are called DNA methylation patterns - a key process in cell development.

'Improve survival'

Dr Lesley Walker, Cancer Research UK's director of cancer information, says the research opens up the possibility of much earlier diagnosis of bowel cancer, when it is easier to treat.

"We've come a long way in improving screening and developing better treatments - our scientists have been involved in testing many drugs that are used to treat bowel cancer and they've had a key role in pinning down the genetic causes of the disease.

"But there is still more to be done. Research like this is vital in our goal to develop the best methods to detect, monitor and treat cancer and improve survival."

More than 38,000 people in the UK are diagnosed with the disease each year.

My comment:

When I found this notice I was filled with happiness. The notices like this give me a lot of hope, maybe in not much time the cancers will be cured easily. The science of medicine is moving very fast, so I hope that this investigation will not stall and will improve a lot our lifes. I think that if this investigation have succes the scientifics will be able to do the same with all the cancers and not only with the cancer of the bowel. If that happen our life expectancy will improve a lot.

One friend of my parent died the last year because a cancer of lung, that friend was also my friend and I had a very bad time when he died. I hope that this never repeat in my life, I want someone to be able to cure the cancers of all the ill persons. I would like this investigation to be succesful.

TV serie: WEEDS

TRAILER:

My Comments:

Weeds is a serie that I discovered last year. It have six seasons but now is producing the seventh. I've seen them all and I have to say it's a very good serie, it have a very good history and a lot of amazing actors.

The characters of the serie are separated in two families and others characters:

-The Botwin family: Nancy Botwin, Andrew Botwin, Silas Botwin, Shane Botwin and Judah Botwin.

-The Hodes family: Dean Hodes, Celia Hodes, Isabelle Hodes and Quinn Hodes.

-The others characters: Doug Wilson, Heylia James, Conrad Shepard, Peter Scottson, Lupita, Esteban Reyes, Guillermo García Gómez, Roy Till, Pilar Zuazo and others...

The story starts with Nancy Botwin sad because her husband, Judah Botwin, has died. When that happend she have the obligation to take care of her two children. She try to find a legal job with a good salary but she can't. The time pass and the money decreases, Nancy begins to worry about her house and the children because they don't have any money. Later Nancy discover a new business, she start to selling marijuana in her neighborhood and begins to earn some money. The time pass and Nancy begins to expand it's business, she find some problems with others drug dealers but Nancy can solve them with some help of her friends. When Nancy takes time in the business starts to create a group to sell the marijuana. At the middle of the serie the group starts to cultivate marijuana to sell it in large quantities. When they have enough money fleeing the city and go to Mexico where they try to begin a new, different and better life.

New game: [Bulletstorm]

TRAILER:

GAMEPLAY:

MY COMMENTS:

This is the newest game from "EA" and "People Can Fly". Bulletstorm arrived to the shops at 22 of february and the next day I had it installed in my computer. The two videos that I put at the top are the official trailer of the game and a gameplay video that I had recorded with my PC.

These days I have played this game and I have to say that is a very good shooter game. The developers of "People Can Fly" have achieved a very good graphics, textures and physics effects. All the materials and objects of the environment can be moved or destroyed, the fall of the enemies and the objects is very real.

The history created by "EA" is very interesting and exciting and the caracterization of the characters is very elaborate. The game starts with your character "Gary" and your friend Rell questioning a bounty hunter in a spacecraft, you kill him. Later the crew see the spacecraft of your biggest enemy, they fight and the two spacecrafts fall in a planet. In this planet is where all the history happen, Gray and one of your friends Ishi, the last survivors of the explosion, they try to escape of the planet, they looking for the general Sarrano to get a rescue spacecraft. I'm waiting now the second part of the history where Gray will kill finally Sarrano.

I recomend this game to all the people who likes the shotter games because is very funny to play and not very long.

iPad 2 tablet

Apple has launched the second generation of its iPad tablet computer at an event in San Francisco.

The company said the machine featured a faster processor, improved graphics, and front and rear cameras.

Apple leads the industry in sales of tablet devices, but has recently begun to lose share to rivals such as HP and Samsung.

The event was hosted by Apple chief executive Steve Jobs, who has been on medical leave since January.

It had been widely speculated that he would not appear owing to his ill health.

Mr Jobs was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2004.

Speaking on stage, he said: "We have been working on this product for a while and I just didn't want to miss today."

Apple has billed the iPad 2 as slimmer, lighter and faster than its predecessor.

The new device features the company's latest dual core A5 processor, which, it is claimed, delivers twice the processing power of the original iPad.

iPad 2 will go on sale in the US on 11 March, followed by 26 other countries, including the UK, on 25 March.

In the United States, pricing will remain the same as for the first iPad, between $499 (£305) and $826 (£505). Other countries are also expected to retain their original pricing models.

OPINION:

Lately the business of tablets computers has grown a lot. At the first time only Apple produced, but now HP and Samsung are producing and selling a lot of tablets PC. Currently Apple has the market dominance but the competition are growing their market. Anyway Apple is the most advanced company with the tablets PC so they developed a new version of her iPad, the iPad 2. I believe that the iPad 2 will be more slim, light and fast because it have a best microprocessor, but there is a thing that I don't think is true: The price will be the same of her predecessor. I think that this is only a dream, I don't remember any case in the world where that happened. Maybe it will be true and if it happen it would be a heavy hit by the competition of HP and Samsung.

I'm sure that a lot of people will buy that wonder of the electronic engineering and maybe I will be one of them.

Oral Presentation second term

VIDEO:

TRANSCRIPTION:

Good morning, my name is Miquel Isern Roca. The issue of my research ptoject is the Java programming language.

The first reason because I chose this topic was that I always had great love for the consoles especially for computers and their games. From an early age I playes with my uncle's arcade machines and I've always been curious to know how those games funct. Another cause which made me chose this topic was because I want to know if programmation would be an interesting job.

At the beginning of the work I set three goals:

-Learn as more as possible of programming with Java.

-Designing the code of some programs and understand their execution.
-Introduced me into the world of programmation and analyze whether I might want to be a programmer in the future.

This work consists in two sections:

The first is the theorical part of the work where I have defined some of the most basic and important concepts of Java, some of them are variables, classes, objects among others.
The second sectionis the practical part, here is where I explained the three final projects I've done with Java, are two calculators and a simple game.

The integer calculator was the first project that I developed. It is a very simple program that can do additions, subtractions, divisions, multiplications and square roots. This program has some problems.

After seeing the problems of the first program I looked for some posible ways to resolve them.

The second project is a second calculator in an applet. This works better than the last.This calculator has other advantages over the first, can be used repeatedly without re-run, can calculate and give all results with decimal numbers and can be run from all computers.

I learned a lot drawing the gun , the bullet and the ground.

The player can change the angle and speed of the bullet to achieve the objectives using the arrow keys. In addition, the ground of the game is not always the same, each time you run it creates one random ground.

The goal of the game is very simple, the player have to move the cannon always located at the bottom right of the screen changing the tilt angle and the initial velocity of the bullet trying to hit one of the objectives of the screen.

The results achieved in this work have been the expected goals.

I must also say that even from a zero knowledge of computer programming, the goals of my work have been reached. I learned the basics of programming with Java, I managed to introduce myself in this new world and have created three programs which are quite interesting for me.

SELF-EVALUATION:

In this section I will evaluate my oral presentation. This term I had to chose the topic of my research project so I told about my project, my goals, my motivations and the results of my effort. For doing the presentation I used a powerpoint and some attractive which unfortunately had a big problem with my pen drive virus. While I was doing my presentation I looked at my audience and I did gestures to indicate different sections of the powerpoint. I think that my presentation was organized and arranged with the discourse markers. I exposed a information which affect me a lot because I will study something like this and now the people of the class know something about programation and my research project. I hadn't a lot of interruptions and my vocabulary was varied. For all these reasons I think that the note of my presentation should be 7.
