Spanair..
he tail of the crashed Spainair plane sticks out as firefighters and members of resue service wor at the crash scene where a Spanair aircraft crashed on take off from Barajas Airport, Madrid, 20 August 2008.
It was h
eading for Gran Canaria. Spain's civil aviation chief has said that the aeroplane that crashed on Wednesday, leaving 153 people dead, must have suffered more than one kind of failure. Some witnesses had said the aircraft's left engine caught fire as the plane was taking off, although authorities never confirmed this. "The video shows that the plane caught fire only after it hit the ground," the paper said. engine failure alone would not be enough to bring the aeroplane down because modern aircraft are designed to fly on just one engine in an emergency.


Intake 'not ca
use' The aeroplane's takeoff from Madrid's Barajas airport had been initially delayed because of a mechanical problem with what the airline called an air intake valve near the cockpit. Experts, however, said the repaired valve could not have caused the crash - Spain's worst air disaster in 25 years. Only 19 people survived the crash of the Spanair twin-engine plane bound for the Canary Islands. Relatives of those killed in the crash continued on Friday to identify the bodies. Many bodies were burned beyond recognition and forensic teams are taking DNA samples from relatives.
Onl
y 50 set
s of remains have so far been identified.

-¡TECHNOLOGY AND EDUCATION!


Every time the technology is used in more places, now practically we have in all the places, that one of they are in the schools, in the education.

The people warn of the possible harmful effects of using technology in the classroom of the school. Will children lose their ability to relate to other human beings? Will they become dependent on technology to learn? Will they find inappropriate materials? The same was probably said with the invention of the printing press, radio, and television. All of this can be used inappropriately, but all of this have given humanity unbounded access to information which can be turned into knowledge. Appropriately used.. interactively and with guidance.. they have become tools for the development of higher order thinking skills.

Inappropriately used in the classroom, technology can be used to perpetuate old models of teaching and learning. Students can be "plugged into computers" to do drill and practice that is not so different from workbooks. Teachers can use multimedia technology to give more colorful, stimulating lectures.

The technology and education, is the new teachings of the future, applying the criteris of now education , the benefits of the future.

THIS IS ENGLAND.



The movie shows, how she was the British society of the 80s. The influence of the unemployment, the crisis of the Malvinas, the appearance of the first Skins, the ethnic minorities (hindues, Pakistani ...). It is a very realistic movie, in which these aspects are reflected very well. The action of the boy seems to me to be magisterial...

This movie shows, clearly and without artifices, which was really, and the way that later was going to take this movement. A response, a search of reaffirmation as like in many cases, often dyed of violence, but that is not but it, a reaction before the suffering and the social pressure.
(sorry, to be continued)

PASCUAS!
In 'pascuas' what I did was to stay with my friends for new center, valencia and the canyada, to speak for great telephone, and to end all the homework that it had for doing. A bit before fallas, it was my birthday On March 25, and without I knew nothing, they organized a surprise holiday party. I love this parrrrrty! :D
Also I ate with all my family in a restaurant in the beach!
In pascuas did not do almost anything.
But staying with my friends, I spent it brilliantly, since always (L).

-The destrucion of forest.












At present, the forests that still stay cover scarcely a fraction of the area covered by forests only hundred years behind. And the speed of destruction is increasing. Quite, up to the effects of the climatic change, they are threatening the existence of the last natural remaining forests.




When a forest is cut and new trees are sowed a plantation of few classes of trees does not give support to so many forms of life as a natural forest. These plantations will not produce a lot of wood of the highest quality. The trees in the natural forests have been growing during hundreds, and sometimes thousands, of years. The sowed trees are cut a few years after having being planted.








The human beings have been destroying the forests per centuries, but the rate of destruction has been increasing so rapidly that some forests will not last for much any more time.




The trees are cut not only by his wood and other products, but the area can be turned then for the cattle and in fields to feed a number of persons. As the cities become big, the forests are eliminated to allow the construction of housings, malls.








Nowadays only they preserve 20 % of the primary forests that were covering the terrestrial surface; nonetheless(though) there stay two third parts of the terrestrial biodiversity and are one of the major sinks of carbon of the planet.
