NEWS!! ...Right to water...?

http://www.righttowater.info/why-the-right-to-water-and-sanitation/

Water and sanitation have been formally recognised as human rights as they are indispensable for the full enjoyment of the right to life, the right to health and the right to dignity.

However, as recommended by the Independent Expert, there is a process underway to recognise water and sanitation as individual rights. The protection and fulfilment of the rights to water and sanitation requires specific measures, and therefore should be fully recognised as autonomous human rights.

All human beings depend on a daily amount of safe drinking water for consumption, personal hygiene and subsistence, and on a hygienic and dignified method for excreta disposal to avoid disease.

------------------------------------------------

In my country this situation is completely different: we all have water to wash, to clean, to drink and to swim and play with it. It's so current to have water in developed countries that we don't think about it too much, and we waste water again and again. It would be better if everyone of us would save some water, also because we're going on a very hot age with climatic change.

In Africa, there's so many people that can't drink potable water, and have with this lack of hygiene malaria and other dangerous diseases that wouldn't be there if the right of water and sanitation would be entirely respected and accomplished.

We possibly can't do so much to solve the problem, but I'm sure that if we all together save water, and we're careful about this aspect we surely can solve the problem of zones that are so dry. People then, could drink and satisfy, a little better, their essential needs.

HUMAN RIGHTS

http://html.knowyourrights2008.org/en/universal-declaration-of-human-rights/take-the-quiz.html

My score in the quiz is 25/41, not bad ^^

1. What are human rights?

Human rights are the ones who EVERYONE has only because he or she's a human being.

2. Why were they created?

Because of the disasters of humanity: 2nd World War, Holocaust, and also the French revolution. The eternal question always has been (and is): how has to be something to be right?

3. How many human rights are there?

There are 30 human rights.

4. Which human right were you not familiar with? Mention an example where this human right is respected and where it is not respected.

The freedom of speech, I think it's a right that is really ignored and violated in many countries. For example, in Cuba, there's a hard repression and censure of so many and diferent ideas. But here in Spain and in all the world there are so many people that can express themselves, and become together to solve some problems with the power of union.

Manga's Fair: 01.11.2011

The first of November of 2011 I went to Barcelona with train to visit one of the best fairs that are made here in the capital: Manga's Fair.

A lot of people go there dressed up with their favourite characters of series, mangas, gameplays (PC, PlayStation...), etc. I went there with Laila and Meriem Abjil, and Estefania Barrientos they're classmates ^^. I didn't dress up that day, because I hadn't the oportunity to. I would like to dress up next year, or in Comic's Fair in May 2012.

I saw a lot of comics and manga's I hadn't seen before, and I bought japanese incense... i really love it. I had a good time with my friends, and we also ate noodles!! But really japanese instantanian noodles! They were really good and nice. Also, we saw real kimonos in an exposition in the fair.

We spent the day there visiting the little stores there were inside, and then we drank something in Barcelona Sants. At the afternoon we catched the train to return to Figueras. A very good day, and experience!!

NEWS!! Birds & butterflies... affected for the climatic change.

The climatic change makes terrible and powerful variations at the global distribution of plants and animals, but there aren’t effects at long periods of time, yet. This has worsened the task of discovering how every taxonomic group is affected for those changes and what the real consequences are.

“A specific type of organism is adapted to its environment, and this provides it the optimum conditions for his metabolism, diet and reproduction.” explains the biologist of the study Constantí Stefanescu, of the Natural Science Museum of Granollers. “If the temperature changes, animals have also to make it at the same time and speed, but they usually can’t do it. This is told Climatic Debt.”

During two decades the climatic change has been studied and its consequences for 9.490 comunities of birds and 2.130 of butterflies around Europe. Between 1990 and 2008 the European temperature has displaced 250 km north. The bird’s comunities only moved 37 km since then and butterflies moved 114 km.

And the adaptative answer to the climatic changes depends of a lot of factors, for example, the landscape barriers and the characteristics of every type of specie. “Birds are slower than butterflies because their vital cicle is longer, and the poblational response is slower.” says Stefanescu.

The results of the study are really important because the climatic change is what really matters (in general) and also that if some species are affected for the climatic change, all the food chain would be totally affected.

MY IDEAL PARTNER

I'm looking for a guy who lives maximum in two hours with car of my home. His age must be between 19 and 25.

Physically, I really love a long straight dark-haired man, it makes him look so wild and brave, pale soft skin, wide grey, green or dark eyes, and so important: broad-shouldered! He often would go to the gym to work out. He doesn't have to be tall, I rather prefer him not to be so tall, but to have a straight nose and a sweet smile. =)

Psycologically, he definitely must be romantic, intelligent , cheerful and really active. Someone to do sport woth, he also has to take care of me and himself and do a lot of activities together. He must have ESO studies minimum, and I've also to see he's an intellectual guy. It would be perfect if he liked metal (any genre of it), and to be very faithful and a little jealous. =P He definitely can't be a typical Spanish patriotic, anticatalanist or broad-minded. It's better if he's a food lover and likes little things in life, but also to be ambitious and carismatic.

In conclusion, he must be someone that loves doing activities with me, and that know how make me smile everytime of our life together.

PD: At the beginning of the composition I've written: "I'm looking for...", what you don't know... is that I've already met him... (L)

Games.... League of Legends!! (LoL)

League of Legends is a game that so much people in the earth know and play usually. There are world tournaments, with high prizes! (2500 euro...) It's really addictive!!! My nick name is Oryio.

Some people in class play it, like Pere or Pablo, and me. My boyfriend also plays LoL, and you can meet a lot of people there, because it's and online game. I can play with my boyfriend and his friends of the class, and make battles in one team.

When you log in with your account (it's free :D), you have your battle points (that you win playing the game), which allows you to buy new heroes or Riot Point

s (that you recharge with real money = euro, I won't pay anything for the game) which allows you to buy different aspects of the heroes or heroes faster.

This game consists of invade the enemy's base, by your own hero of legend. You can make so many types of game: 3 vs. 3, 5 vs. 5, Dominion (capture bases)... I usually do 3 vs. 3 when I'm alone, and when I play with other people 5 vs. 5. It's a strategy game, and you have to think a lot what to do to kill the other heroes, when, and how! The two teams have subdits that help to win the battle. You can talk with the other players with a chat, and make strategy.

All the heroes have a story, and it's good to catch the ones you are similar to. My first hero was an ice archer, Ashe, but now I've found my perfect one: Nidalee. Nidalee is a girl from the wild jungle, that is an archer, but when she was little a family of pumas adopted her, and now she can convert in one of them, and she's so powerful!

PD: In the game we always speak english... practice for school!! XD
