GRAINS FROM THE UNIVERSE

       Dietas, colesterol y LDL están relacionados directamente con esta aceite. Desde hace años, intento ingerir productos sanos y restringir la ingesta de productos que suban el colesterol, el azúcar y todo lo más dañino. A diario, nos informan los verdaderos profesionales: dietistas, nutricionistas y expertos de medicina endocrinóloga. Muchos nos sentimos indignados con las pequeñas compras que hemos realizado últimamente. Si usted está bien informado sobre nutrición, sabrá lo importante que son las grasas y azúcares de diversos tipos en nuestra dieta. Personalmente, creo que le están dando demasiada importancia a la lactosa, mientras nos cuelan un aceite que acorta nuestros años de vida. No lo he visto y comparado solo en documentales que favorecían tal o cual marca, sino desde hace algunos años con muy buenos documentales (entre ellos, uno que emitieron por RTVE hace años y que aludía al tema, sin dudas). El aceite de palma , esa que plantan para destrui...

Simone y el documental "What happened, Nina Simone?" ¿Qué significaba la libertad para Nina Simone a finales de la década de los 60? Nada fuera de lo normal. Nada extraordinardio para nuestro siglo XXI: Nada prohibitivo, nada exclusivista para los mayores de edad o algo que supusiera una ruptura con los cánones establecidos de manera radical. Todo eso, estaba establecido de una u otra forma de antemano, desde los años 20, después de la Gran Crisis, en los 60 y 70, también. Retazos de la vida de Nina Simone.  En este documental autobiográfico, encontramos a una cantautora muy sensible y respetuosa, a la vez que una generación de la que seguimos queriendo saber algunos de sus pormenores, pero sin repetir los mismos errores. Este vídeo de Nina Simone aclara alguna que otra duda, ya que muchos no vivimos esa época de clandestinidad   o  digamos, de privacidad que nos cuenta Simone con sinceridad, honestidad y expresividad nítida. Los medios de comunicación de masas,...

I was watching a film I thought it was a horror one. It was about horrible nuns' crimes committed in the last 80's and early 90's. I actually was facing with a Documental about a demon's possession and Rome's lectures about how Satanic possession is for them. I think this is an extreme of a complicated situation (made so by them,too).  All kind of human and artificial sciences should be considered equally as any other religious methods. The same must be done with psychology, psychiatry, and the other sciences or pseudo sciences (in case they help to achieve a good objective: to help human being or the person suffering from that illness or whatever they have). Everybody has a past, a social hidden drama (a huge one in this case) and it does not mean they must have been 'possessed', if that exists. They 'think they are possessed' because that was they were told and taught. Think about this: Do you think if they were not from Latin-Spanish originis,...

In memoriam.

Today I've been watching the interview the King of Spain, Felipe 6th, had with President Mr Obama. I was waiting to listen for a mistake from the translator, but I remember she was an interpreter as well. I think perhaps she din't want to be very accurate and to avoid hard words about particular country affairs. We all knew what Mr Obama meant with the strong relationship and with the unified Spain, but, at the same time, we understood the ex-Prince Felipe's words of Liberty, admiration, fortune and faith in the future for Europe, the US and all the world. This time, I thought he actually was an intelligent reasonable man -no matter what I think about my country and other possible regions or federal regions (for giving Catalonia a neutral position in the conversation.) The main theme was there. I think about it most of the time, and we all are conscious about our own situation.We know it's not easy at all to forget our crisis. It's still here. Like Mr Felipe d...

I was living in Tenerife on Sept 11th 2001. I shared an apartment with a guy studying sciences. We shared some books. I was reading a lot by nights, so I could attend a pair of exams that month, though I didn't finish my career and was forced to come back to Gran Canaria later on. I remember I had my mobile off. It was one of those tiny colored Alcatel . Easy to handle, with a little antenna and a good SMS service one could use from time to time.  I had susbscribed to an Spanish News Channel, 'Antena 3 TV,' (from Telefonica, S.A.) and received some news everyday. I was going to give up the channel for there was nothing interesting on it.  I remember that day, at about 5 or 7 p.m., I turned the mobile on and then I read something like 'The US is attacked by a force of planes by whatever forces.' I inmediately thought it was impossible. It was like a game on the mobile. It was a joke made by the journalists there -I thought-. SMS world was starting to work...

Hace un par de días, ni más ni menos, atendí en la distancia, con asombro, la rueda de prensa celebrada por uno de los círculos de Podemos en Madrid con acceso de prensa incluido (lo destaco y recalco porque el PP nos ha acostumbrado en España a no hacer partícipe a ésta de ninguna o muy pocas interacciones libres con ellos). Hago uso de uno de los pocos derechos que nos quedan a los/las ciudadanos/as en este país llamado España, la libertad de expresión. Esta opinión no significa que esté en contra de este nuevo partido, pero tampoco a favor de éste. Simplemente me mantengo en la duda de si lograrán convencernos: la mayoría indecisa, que no es ni poca ni tan invisible como se pudiese creer. Algunos somos simpatizantes; otros creemos en otras alternativas a Podemos o, simplemente seguimos desilusionados con las nuevas alternativas del presente. Todo esto tiene cabida y es legal. El señor Monedero no me convenció personalmente, como ciudadano molesto, indignado, har...

Love Matters... For it is a thing of more than four: I've recently watched a cartoons video from Gestalt Therapies where a man's brain is divided into two. The one in the right is the sensitive part and the one in the left is the reasonable, logical part of our brain. Then, tiny blue and red toys work in the general control room. Blue for reason, red for logic. Scientifically, It is false, for the woman in the film does not have any cartoons in her mind, and ends up the cartoon with the sentence 'I want to have a family' or something alike. Gender or even sex doesn't always matter. There is also chemistry, and it is nowadays demonstrated that our brain is not 'divided' into two. We've got lots of areas, and some injured persons are still able to do some things , though they have some parts of their brains injured. That's why new brain cells should be discovered and regenerated. That is why the famous illness called 'Alzheimer' must be sto...

-The worst thing about free opinion and Democracy in Spain is that in a few weeks nobody will be able to open his mouth or write anything about it. -Frank told me last day. - What about the rich?- I asked. - If they do, they no longer be rich.
