If many Spanish families have welcomed in the fall of prices in the economy which allows them a relief to their beaten pockets, the persistence of a deflationary context may affect debtors who pay their obligations in real terms by endangering its ability to pay will be increased significantly. Produce increased widespread delinquencies, this will represent a further blow to the economy. How long can the recession in Spain last? In relation to this issue, the Bank of Spain too optimistic is not displayed. The latest projections by the Bank of Spain point to a contraction of GDP of 3% for this year and 1% in 2010. The IMF pessimistic about prospects for the global economy has shown since it considers that the same is contraeria this year, between 0.5% and 1%, while the economic recovery would occur in 2010 if Governments increase their interventions in the economy. Against this negative external context, not There are good prospects of recovery for the economy of Spain.

With the downturn in the Spanish economy, the labour market suffers from a particular way the crisis. The deterioration in the labour market is such, that unemployment would have reached to 17% of the economically active population during the first quarter of the year, according to the information that emerged from the last Bulletin of advancement of the market labor Afi-AGETTES. In relation to the economic activity, became known yesterday that industrial production in Spain registered a monthly contraction of 1.7 per cent in February and 22% in interannual terms (greater contraction of industrial output within the eurozone economies). Against an economy that falls into a tailspin, the logical reasoning is that the Government of Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero should take extra efforts and launch new economic stimulus packages. But this is far from the possibilities of the Zapatero government.

In an interview that granted the U.S. newspaper, The Wall Street Journal, the general director of the service of studies of the Bank of Spain, Jose Luis Malo de Molina said yesterday that Spain has no more scope to launch new economic stimulus measures. For worse, Malo de Molina believes that if you had it, would they have a little effect on the economy. For this year, the fiscal deficit of Spain could reach 10% of its GDP, making the fiscal front a new problem to be solved urgently. There is no doubt that the Spanish economy is in a vicious circle from which it is very difficult to escape. With a Government with few weapons to bring the economy of the crisis, and a crisis that feeds itself, how can find you a way out of this situation? For one thing, the answer lies in find the contribution and commitment of all sectors of the economy, and ensure that the Government and the opposition sit down to dialogue to reach consensus on ideas. Spain will probably need a new social pact to overcome the crisis.

Environmental Crisis

October 29, 2015 General

It's 7 pm on a Wednesday, and suddenly the sky starts to turn white in the vicinity of the University of La Guajira in Maicao. Someone surprised me question what it is and before I answer I forward one of the neighbors: "this is not a passing cloud or fog. They are salt particles that come flying through the air. They come from a nearby mill. All houses in the neighborhood are being damaged because of salt. " Without that we had summoned for that purpose, we have set to talk about one of the many facets of environmental pollution.

For several decades, experts in environmental issues have been doing an insistent warning: the world is reaching its limits and, sooner or later, nature will invoice and then pay dearly for the impudence to abuse it has been so noble and generous and has given us everything that the species is needed to live. However, life is not all that be enough according to the religion of misers. Therefore, the planet has been plundered, beaten, victimized, battered … and the consequences are obvious. Today there is talk of the environmental crisis as a future event, but as a fact imminent, devastating and in some cases, irreversible. The question is no longer a distant tomorrow, ethereal hypothetical and probably never will. It is a phenomenon of our time whose evidence is manifest as part of normal everyday life.

For those who live in the hot TV is generous in showing the images of other regions and therefore we have witnessed the melting of glaciers that were considered eternal. The announcement was made in the past that the poles would melt has begun, and its consequences will be felt slowly in the coastal regions of the world. But that's not all. Global warming not only feels and the thermometers. The soil, oceans and the skin suffer from the excessive heat. And, as we announce the experts, the temperature will continue rising. What will the planet when the temperature reaches the maximum? What how we will survive the inhabitants of areas where temperatures without global warming, are 37 on average? And there's more: heavy rains in normally dry and semi-desert areas such as the Guajira. Downpours that come from time to time, without prior notice the gray sky, thunder and lightning. And the subsequent flooding in neighborhoods where poverty is usually permanent companion of the settlers. And further: banks deforested by human action, rivers that carry waste and chemical waste (also harmful and irrational actions of human beings) and finally the gruesome spectacle of our times: the rivers are dying of thirst and only give signs of life during the rainy season. And more much more: noise pollution, depletion of air, progressive destruction of the ozone layer … anyway. Near the cemetery, in Maicao, several indigenous Wayuu sell oil packaged in reusable bottles. The cost is smaller $ 1,000. Behind, in a shop selling the same merchants paisas bottle filled with purified water and the cost is $ 1,200. Good God! Today water is more expensive than fuel. It is a fact, not a story that the world is reaching its limits. Rutto Alejandro Martinez is a renowned writer and Italian-Colombian journalist who also teaches at several universities.

Today the isolation and loneliness, feel more in megacities. Some might remember it from "small town, big hell" of Payro, or that Peyton Place (The Caldera of the devil). More those are possibilities latent in all human relationships. I'm finishing.

This is not to idealize or small towns, nor demonize the big cities, but one, emp.

Anyway I repeat, that the constraints to "shrink" megacities, are very difficult to remove and who feel harassed by the deteriorating quality of life for them, can begin to ponder the decision, always hard, partying to some of these small communities, where opportunities, we have tried to suggest in this development.

A to Argentina is closer to our everyday practical lives, that what we radiate journalistic cliques, academics and politicians from the city of Buenos Aires, often becoming echoes of what radiates from the cliques of large cities on the planet. I thank whoever it was, which prompted me to physically visit the country for about forty years.

The Sessions

September 27, 2015 General

But as time passed and the semester and through the work, meetings, talks and contact with my professors, I was not only understanding the theory, if not more important, the relationship of their subjects in everyday life, which believe me, dear reader, has been really rewarding. Like when we discussed the theme of love, happiness, which by the way I 've noticed that are already taking courses in these subjects by other organizations, I had moments where I really was moved and download information on the courses we took as part of work in different institutions, I realized how good that these issues have been in my educational walk. This is reflected in the brotherly hugs we gave, photos, good wishes, good thoughts, good intentions that emerged there. Ah, a meeting face (I say I can not have order, since it is a bundle of feelings of how to explain), teams were working on an issue that led us to poetry, and I had to work a colleague and her maid came to us a memory from childhood when we were in elementary school of poetry that came in the textbooks by the way I see nostalgia already changed too much, and we always thought that the former days were better, but I can not stand the want to share this poem, so common but so forgotten …

Stewart Mathematics

"( Stewart: 1998, 16) The mathematics rather than a system of signs and rules must be understood as a cultural heritage in the sense of understanding the subject's development in terms of developing the symbolic function, logic, mathematics, between the subject's mind and logical symbolism. Importantly, students learn Math interacting in diversity, which leads to the abstraction of mathematical ideas from complexity, this means students face a new methodological perspective: research and resolution problem, these aspects that allow them to explore, discover, and create standards versus their own thought processes for the consolidation of logical structures of thought, that give them self of self-knowledge and enduring face reality. First we must remember that the learning of mathematics, like other disciplines, is most effective if the recipient is motivated. It is therefore necessary to introduce the student activities according to their stage of development and to awaken their curiosity and creativity. These activities should relate to everyday life experiences. The purpose of learning mathematics concerns the competence, defined as "the ability with which a subject has to be primarily about referents allow us to act with knowledge of mathematics to solve mathematical problems in different areas. " In the area of mathematics learning object is the competence of mathematical thinking.

The theoretical approach is systemic guidelines with emphasis on the development of thinking and solving problems. This means maintaining the systemic conception of mathematics, but the emphasis is made in the resolution of problems and the development of mathematical thinking. The historical commitment of mathematics aims to be clear about the historicity of this science.

I am in such meetings with, because otherwise, the mechanic would ruthlessly pressed against the wall. The designer has a much stronger position and is typically too eloquent. This is a shortcoming in many companies. The technicians have little opportunity to tell the designers about their experiences at the customers.” As the paragraph Economic Journal reported that Audi managers from all business sectors visit representative selected client families to experience their daily lives.

The customer in the first place? The scarcest resource in the enterprise is not the capital, but there are the executives who kundenfokussiert think and act. Isn’t that what sounds in fine-sounding rhetoric, elaborate annual reports and soft washed press releases, but rather considered that what is actually lived from Monday to Friday in the company from customer point of view include however. “As an example, consider a typical B2b presentation, so this is roughly as follows: I’ll explain you first of all, who we are and what we can do for you.” On the slides 1-20: the company, locations, history, sales development, management team, products, still more products, the associated services, the mission statement and so on and so forth.
