Bieito, "Don Carlos" and Salamanca
The important thing, they say, is to speak of one, albeit badly. I prefer to speak well, especially Salamanca. It is not the same to be news for a prison riot in Topas, say, that because a student of the University of Salamanca is the most successful club in Spain. And Salamanca, unfortunately, you need to talk much more about it, due to its geographical confinement, low income level, lack of employment opportunities and the systematic neglect by government. Therefore, although one has been absent from recent cultural events, has closely followed the evolution of the V International Festival of Arts which, by its very name, has forced him to speak the Castilian own media and Leon.
This year has had other reasons for notoriety, of course, from the work of Avenue Perfume basketball, as always, but this year has not obtained any title to the UDS, which came to head the table at some point. But all that, what can I say, is irrelevant because we will never be a sports power, an activity that requires hundreds of millions who do not have. In contrast, the other-culture, entertainment, art ... - that is our role, although this critical year the budget has been halved. So, again, it is important to keep talking about Salamanca as European cultural capital that is not fleeting success drowsy after 2002. We might be exaggerated and not be so bad. Perhaps there has been a spate of recent travelers to enjoy the festival closed. Certainly the figure of 180,000 spectators is more a wish than a reality, since the event would have had as many participants as fellow registered in the capital, which is saying something. I do not mind. What is certain is that tomorrow, when Don Carlos Calixto Bieito in Mannheim this, you will know that the work was premiered earlier in Salamanca, the Spanish city hosts the culture around the world.
And that, being a cultural reference, yes that is priceless.

The Importance Of Marketing In The New Investment Model for Spanish cinema
It's a shame that is rarely found articles that explain how it works in reality Spanish cinema. We can find hundreds who criticize him harshly, but you must leave Spain to find some fairness.
In late September, Variety magazine published a series of very interesting articles on the situation of Spanish cinema, one in particular called New Reign in Spain (new reign in Spain), is the evolution of business model in the film, following the papers from a seminar held in July, new look to finance and investment in film production in Spain.
Under this title so much fun, got together in the same room to Spanish and foreign producers, with banking and investment specialists in Spanish (having no idea of the movie business) and foreigners (who do know of it), and these papers are draw some conclusions:
1 .- There is a large change in the way of getting investment to produce movies. Between public subsidies and mandatory funding of the TV, covered 80% of the average movie budget of the Spanish, according to consultancy Deloitte. This has changed and, in the words of Ignasi Guardans, CEO of ICAA "'from now the producer will call three doors: Ministry, autonomous region and TVs, to build a movie production. This model is over now have to go to many more doors to get a minimum return on investment "(read article in cineytele).
2 .- We are moving towards a model where capital investment should be mostly private. Through new tax breaks for producers, thanks to the figure of the IEA (Economic Interest Group) which allows for greater tax benefits in order to attract the interest of private investment.
Banks, specialized investment funds and insurers, are destined to become players in this new form of financing, as well as large companies and individuals seeking to make an equity investment (the film always is, because you never knows how it will work the film) but that in turn has great advantages (reputation, marketing, branding, etc ...).
3 .- This revolution in the film industry entails a change in the model of marketing as well. For several reasons, one of them is that investment funds seek to achieve agreements for several films and not for a single project.
According to Jon Garaiyurrebaso, Banesto Asset Finance, "Financial institutions may enter into contracts with producers to produce at least six films a year." So you can work in social media campaigns much earlier than now, and it can get advantageous marketing agreements for several projects.
The film is a risky investment, so the loans are expensive and profit margins should be good. If the goal is to keep production in the long term it is important to secure investment, otherwise it is very unlikely to recover after a failure of confidence for future investment.
We are moving from a model in which the film is mainly as a cultural asset, worthy of public assistance or subsidies such as painting or sculpture, a model that is treated as a real industry that moves many millions of euros and many jobs.
In this situation, with a cinema as a cultural industry (but first industry), Marketing also is destined to become a tool of first order, since the best way to position our film in a market that launches from 7 to 10 new titles each week, with a marketing professional and organized, with materials designed to attract audiences to theaters, not to scare the tail of cinema.
Taking advantage of recently released the second part of Wall Street, dismiss this post with a quote from the infamous Gordon Gekko:
"Anything worth asking, it's worth doing for money"

The Fear: Social Chaos Prime Cooler
Social Chaos Theory / CAP? CHAPTER 4: The Fear: First sink chaos / ISBN 9789801241312
We had our first rehearsal "Venezuela and the Laws of Social Chaos" that the first phase of self-organization of society is called 'Phase Controlentrópica', the first of the four processes that energize social structures. We said that when social systems are stable, organized psycho-social cohesion of a population of about one state institutions, which is consistent with guidance and discursive narrative, it explains the need for the type of economic organization, which in again supports the materiality of the system and allowing population growth upon it, to the extent that environmental conditions, geographical and social permit.
When these instances are in keeping talking about a phase in which the system remains under your control mechanisms reducing entropy. That's when the system is controlentrópica phase, which in democratic and participatory, open the system's growth as a whole, promotes economic development that it satisfies the needs of the elites and the population, and stabilizes and strengthens so the collective unconscious, also called social that encourages population growth, increasing young people.
But when the subject controlentropía fear in social settings runs 'closed', directed by a leader who in turn controls all social subsystems and they respond to a single, messianic and revolutionary, then this closed social growth phase ( or conditions), leads and directs the economy unilaterally, creates dissatisfaction among the population and destabilize the collective unconscious, causing an artificial shift of the deep social character that introduces deviations in the social contract previously agreed and agreed that we call national project.
To reaffirm the different groups as possible and prolong controlentrópico stage, companies (through government institutions or bodies forming and shaping the social character) use different systems of social control that we call 'social chaos sinks '. We intend in this paper identify 'sinks social chaos' most common and show how and in what phases of controlentropía used.
0 .- APPROACH HOL? STICA
The 'social chaos sinks' may be considered a priori as elements of social control, which is the set of practices, attitudes and values used to maintain the established order in society. Although sometimes the social control is performed by coercive or violent means, the social control also includes a non-specific coercive, such as prejudice, values and beliefs.
Among the means of social control are social norms, institutions, religion, laws, hierarchies, mass repression, indoctrination, behavior and generally accepted practices and customs (informal system, which may include bias) and laws (formal system, which includes penalties). Modern sociology recognizes 6 types of controls:
1 .- The physical control is force, violence, the penalty applies to the individual that society determines is outside the rules and is considered a danger to the survival of society and its members.
2 .- primary social control and here we refer to the family. It controls and affects the individual from birth. The way that influences on the individual family is affected. For children to learn receives gifts or punishments. Imitation is the first way in which the child learns from the family, in addition, it has the duty to promote individual and linguistically to teach cleaning habits. The family inspired by the child values, ie the family "socialized" and enter the individual in society.
3 .- The political control is exercised through laws (legislative), with the intervention of government (executive) and the application of these laws (judicial). Consider also that political control is exercised in society by the media, that regardless of their role here (opponents, officials, independent) or its editorial, Western societies have been attributed a role of 'communicating controllers' , also called 'Fourth Estate'. The real social control should be the control
4 .- The moral control, word of Latin origin (mos-moris) which refers to the customs. The influence of morals on the individual is a function of its timing, since there are temporary or enduring. The transient (like fashion) are less important, but the enduring are those that come to control the behavior of individuals across generations, because the customs social coercion and control the behavior.
5 .- The control class, also called 'occupations'. This social control overlaps in the existence of social class measures from physical possessions, geographic, economic solvency or the type of professional performance of its members. All these aspects describe and determine social roles that end up establishing controls, such as more or better education of individuals, although education is designed by the state to legitimize individuals.
6 .- The control of stratification, which refers to control other aspects, not only economic but also cultural because society may be stratified into castes, such as India or Japan, in the age groups, economic groups, associations and clubs and in a myriad of classes and sub-groups as large as the differences that may give rise spontaneously in a society.
Even knowing that social controls may be varied in different in type and application, Social Chaos Theory, with its corpus of theorems, laws and regulations, social controls conceived only within the functions of the dynamic process controlentrópicas societies, as we have discussed in previous trials, it is a dynamic process in four stages:
The first phase of self-organization of society is composed Controlentrópica call processes that the system uses to control the entropy-reducing mechanisms. When social systems are stable is organized psycho-social cohesion of a population in state institutions, which is consistent with guidance and discursive narrative that explains the need for the type of economic organization that supports the materiality of the system and allows a population growth agree with it, as far as conditions permit. When these instances are in keeping talking about a phase in which the system remains under your control gear mechanisms of entropy, the system is Controlentrópica phase, and opens the system's growth as a whole, promotes economic growth allowing the satisfaction of the needs of the elites and the population, stabilizing and strengthening, so the collective unconscious, also called social and allowing population growth, increasing young people. What generates tickets fiscal funding to the State, that enhance its expansion to meet population growth of the dominant classes, giving them jobs within the state, leading to the consolidation and strengthening of the institutional and discursive narrative that justifies and legitimizes the whole social organization.
The social structure of Venezuela was 'Controlentrópica' from 1958 to the first two years of the presidency of Jaime Lusinchi, during which time periods of growth, strengthening processes were politically and socially. These processes are building what is known as positive feedback, to differentiate or regulatory negative feedback.
The second phase, Phase entropy, economically speaking, long recession, due to agricultural decline and secondly, by the fall in the average rate of profit in capitalist societies. The livelihoods of the producer and the ruling elites are being blocked their access to the state, which is restricted taxes, a situation that leads to fiscal deficits, which accompanied by high population pressures young elite population and dissatisfaction, generate a major political crisis in the state.
The cultural paradigm of the 'nation state' established less effective in the overall social guidance and control mechanism psychosocial becomes incongruous, between what one thinks and feels. The perceived reality in the collective unconscious begins to fracture the relationship between faith-feeling in the political and inefficiency which shows the dominant narrative justification. The population becomes ambivalent. Population pressures, the fiscal crisis, the division of young elites dissatisfied, distress and inflationary pressures in the town tax that generate acute psycho-social ambivalence, are the characteristic indices show that the entropy-reducing mechanisms become ineffective, thereby leading to an overall system entropy increase further.
The global entropización is the period that Venezuelan society lives from the mandate of Luis Herrera Campins, political and social entropy which is synchronized with two phenomena: the collapse of the institutions and the economic crash caused by Black Friday, when it enacts change control and economic stability of the country begins a dark journey that still travels in this time of the Fifth Republic and the Bolivarian Revolution.
The third stage is called chaotic phase. Psycho-social space begins to enter the so-called depressive overload. Paradigmatic anomalies are moved to the center of the system, although some people remain faithful to the cultural paradigm, but their emotions are showing their deep anomalies. The system no longer works. The cultural paradigm is lying. This psycho-social period is as upward straight away to infinity, which reached a point crosses a threshold, crosses a point of no return, beyond which people openly expressed their rejection.
The population begins to assemble spontaneously, and those already in a state of exaltation, they recognize and begin to form affinity groups and each other begin to protest and rebel. Renewing the old paradigm or a new one begins to develop, thus forming multiple groups, opening a chaotic phase of the system, characterized this period with a series of rebellions, insurrections and movements of all kinds (religious, political, union, cultural , ethnic, etc..) early in the zones, areas and peripheral regions of the system, where control mechanisms are still weak. The dominant system begins to lose public support and followers, people begin to disobey, the communication control is broken, it is in the process of entropy or chaotic communication arises "The Caracazo 'as communicative entropy and new forms of social solidarity began to self-organize.
From there emerged a new powerful paradigm: civil disobedience and start a new reality prosecuted. This period of chaos is a phase of instability characterized by large fluctuations of all kinds, which translates into possibilities for social change, which in chaos theory are known as bifurcations. In the chaotic phase or communicative entropy, fluctuations and bifurcations, spontaneously self-organizing system, through, a figure that Chaos Theory is called strange attractor or chaotic attractor.
Chavez played the role of 'strange attractor' in a moment of our history. Chavez was as a geometric figure composed of several basins of attraction, which orbit and circle the elements considered in our case, as social movements. The different systems, each is developed on their own, they begin to meet and recognize similarities to recognize that they are in a fundamental experience which is the experience of a collective state of mind exalted and enthusiastic, full of meaning which activists in social movements. However, the different movements recognize each other and begin a period of alliances, where many transit advocates from organization to organization or to create new identify.
Another manifestation of the orbits occurs when the movements that arise with regard to social chaos begin to be justified, seeking precedents in history: Heroes, events or ideologies with which to identify the political project while creating a conceptual amalgam-sentimental with social dintorno . Taking this to the quantum mathematics, it is orbiting in the semiotic space, where the past and present are always present, which is easily attractable to the new attractor.
The global training caotización generates instabilities, or rather the beginning of the collapse of the States and here we are only talking about the first period, when the state is still standing. By swearing on 'The Dying' and summon the country to the Fifth Republic, Chavez did nothing to ratify the fate that had prepared the Principle of Turbulence Vortex Act.
The fourth stage, or Phase negentropic nascent state is seen as a reorganization of the entire field of solidarity or cohesion of the system. It is a self-organizing system. If the conditions are conducive to the global reorganization of the system, is facing a process of cultural revolution, which implies a reordering of social, political, economic and ecological paradigm even. This is what is known as negentropic phase of the system and is the time when Chavez becomes dominant or is in the center of the system. Is a period of unlimited creation of fantasies, where forks multiply, creating an atmosphere of enthusiasm is, therefore, face a new sociopolitical reality.
The structural place in which it operates the nascent state is the psycho-social analysis, the collective unconscious, the engines of the passions of the activation of groups of psychic cohesive system. This instance is captured by the insurgent leadership of Chavez as a field for spontaneous popular solidarity, a dynamic energy and information organizer with a great capacity for cohesion of human groups.
Venezuela's Fifth Republic, self organized local limit cycle attractors. Attractors that just conquer the mental surplus population and that feeds the main attractor (Chavez), producing centers and peripheries of mastery and control. According to the tenets of modern social psychology, this surplus has psychic neurophysiological foundation, located in brain neurotransmitters that create satisfaction, the endorphins, the excitement, the binding of dopamine and oxitosina and vasopressin. "This successful and unifying mental surplus" - Brazil holds the renowned psychologist Aroldo Rodrigues - "semiotic means that people of faith deposits or is of the leaders or the limit cycle is the same, provides the institutional framework of the authority of legitimacy. "
Currently, Venezuela is in a transition period retrograde institutional partner, which runs from one phase inversely to this, not yet fully consolidated negentropic in its entirety (Bolivarian Revolution) to a stage Controlentrópica that, in theory, should be consolidated, not is none other than the process of re-founding of the Republic took place in 1999 with the approval via national referendum a new constitution. This scenario leads to instances of chaos, but not of any kind, but a specially true model, the 'chaos controlentrópico', one that is led and administered by the watchdog, the State, in specific dosages, dosage administered as different governmental entities and State when they are subjected to an autocratic executive and messianic.
There are two social aspects that identify the current Venezuela at this time that the principles of the Fifth Republic, not yet consolidated in the collective imagination, they collide with a brand new Bolivarian socialist revolution now surnamed 'XXI Century'. The first one is instability. Public and private institutions in Venezuela, with all its imaginary, their hopes for growth and past historical and cultural references is subject to a contingency against unforeseen events to accidents and selfishness that drive more courage and self exhorting a messianic leader, that the transcendental that emanates from the collective. We are, no doubt, in a division that classifies us as citizens of first or second, we divide between 'patriots' and 'skinny', and simultaneously we as a state blurs, becoming fragile and dependent citizens to what is beyond the immediate horizon.
Interestingly, there is the modern social breakdown, such that industrial sociologists explicit followers of the doctrines of Weber. We are witnessing the breakdown of social epithelial tissue that makes it impossible for citizens to rebuild a whole, called the project country that inhibits social systems thinking and self-conscious alternative to that link complementary manner in the interplay of ideas collegial lead to a conception of the future, which is none other than Venezuela and opportunities can truly democratic, we all dream of living. Social fragility is present in the decomposition that we erase the sharpness between what is reasonable and what is not.
The second point to draw the outline of the local crisis is institutional parallelism, a sort of 'second self' institutional solution used to address social problems, but it causes a distorted view of reality. When an authoritarian and personalistic government does not find ways to achieve the objectives and measures achieved in fairly acceptable goals of big plans, he turns to parallel state, the management equivalent to shedding that forces institutions to respect certain rules and procedures. When a regime can not control via electoral constituency of citizens, is facing an outbreak of social crisis, the entropy above the chaos and then forge a parallel authority, although this would weaken both the state itself institutionally as the adversary . So what ends up installed parallel as culture, blurring the institutional and imposing a national project against the current of the general will, criminalizing dissent from those who do not agree with the 'second self' institutional culture imposed by the pseudo parallel.
Social instability and parallel makes, so to speak, in the two major sinks of social chaos in Venezuela, although paradoxically both come from an entropy co-managed between the government and ruling party. The expected result is the same both sinks. The Fear. Fear is paralyzing social response of individuals when they are placed on the lintel of a social vortex of unpredictable consequences. A fear that is generated by a 'chaos controlentrópico' collateral damage which has been quantified and is under control ... For now.
1 .- TEOR? A SOCIAL CONTROL OF FEAR AS
Most researchers agree that one way or another, fear moves history. Julius Caesar, Napoleon, Calvin, Hitler, Franco, were the owners of fear-man, while theocratic laws, para-governmental organizations and political regimes appropriated as an institution of fear controller. Anguish, disgusted, depression, boredom, uncertainty, restlessness, anger, sadness, are the feelings of those bound for power in all its manifestations, specifically when to execute actions that dissipate probable or possible social entropy, ie, when used to their advantage the social fear, because fear inducing facilitates the exercise of power as political and social control.
Governments, whatever their origins and their governmental system, have always used the threat and fear as a weapon of political domination and social control, for fear drives the victim to act a certain way to get rid of the threat and anxiety it produces. So, who raises fear appropriate to some extent on the willingness of the victim and try to get the other person put into practice one of the ancestral behavior to escape from fear: the submission.
That is precisely the aim of every political regime: Dispelling the entropy indicators, especially those that point to the structural basis of the system and can cause social vortex above the chaos, demoralizing the potential supporters of their opponents, demobilizing to society as a whole, discouraging any attempt at destabilization. Basically creating a sense of "place taken." To achieve such a degree dissipative regimes, from the openly theocratic dictatorial to democratic and parliamentary testers have developed a strategy in which the terror, open or veiled, slips through all areas of social structure to reach your key organizations: The group, neighborhood, family.
To the extent that fear may undermine the decision-making autonomy to the subject, it becomes a defense to liability, because the power is closely related to the ability to inspire fear and why fear is used in all the human relationships in which the desire for power is present. The power, ie the ability of the powerful to get someone to submit to his will, rests on three capacities: to award prizes, to inflict punishment and change the beliefs and feelings of the victim.
Perhaps no sentiment plays a role as important as the fear in society. Your constant invocation of the political power has such control over the social entropy that its presence is indisputable. Political repression has favored the use of psychological methods, methods invisible in the political control of society. Political repression is manifested in different ways, however, its widespread arbitrary political threat to the entire society, being perceived by most to be life threatening. The killing of some physical or moral persons, whether or not political activists, reinforces the perception that anyone is threatened. The existence of a permanent political threat produces a chronic fear response: it ceases to be a specific reaction to specific situations and becomes almost a permanent state in everyday life, not just those directly affected by repression but of anyone who be perceived threat. The relationship between the political threat and the response of individual or social fear is part of psychological processes and political processes that influence each other. Fear has identified chronic internalized and invisible space of existence. The great antidote to fear is action with courage because it can act as social organizations opposition to any political system as having no fear, a feeling which is different from the insensitivity and recklessness, and the mighty are afraid, but acts as you think you should act.
Fear is one of the factors that define more clearly what we call national identity. Refers to how things are afraid of a society, are not always the same fears that since the power plant seeks to inhibit identity. Indeed, when thousands of people are threatened simultaneously within a particular political regime, the threat and fear characterized social relations, focusing on awareness and behavior of citizens. Everyday life is transformed. The human being is vulnerable. The material conditions of survival are affected. Raises the possibility of experiencing pain and suffering, loss of loved ones, essential losses in relation to the meaning of one's life or death.
It induces society to be afraid of their surroundings, as a way to control the impulses of its members. The dictionary definition of 'fear' is conceptualized as a "distressing mood disturbance risk or harm by a real or imaginary." This definition clarifies the fact that in Venezuela we live surrounded by imaginary fears, and it's those fears where politicians and media are the mother lode from which to obtain higher profits.
A fear becomes a culture and has strong references in the recent history of mankind. The 'cultural revolution' of Mao is one of them. For a decade, from 1966 to 1976, the death of its creator, the Chinese political system was thrown into chaos at first, then completely paralyzed. For the authors of "Mao's Last Revolution", MacFarquhar and Schoenhals The Belknap Press of Harvard, Cambridge, 2006 - The China we have today would never have been able to come into existence, if not because Mao destroyed had, namely: communism had carefully wrought for nearly two decades.
No one saw the meaning or that hard intenciónde radical attack on Shanghai Party newspaper in that city against the work of a playwright who, in Beijing, enjoyed the full support of the Party leadership. Contemplate the following days were to prove how futile the efforts of the leadership to stop the avalanche that hit them.
Mao wanted another party and this was the opportunity that had been so carefully built. Soon his wife would join that has become suddenly radical bloc leader of Shanghai, and with it the Marshal Lin Biao, commander in chief of "People's Liberation Army." With absolute dedication, Lin would put the armed forces to serve the complete destruction of the Party structure. What he never imagined it would be the next victim.
The early years of this madness would not let puppet head and the famous "Red Guards" would soon be replaced by workers radicalized. As usual in any revolutionary process, came face factions armed to the teeth, like a terrible urban guerrilla warfare in that vast country. By 1969, with the population consumed physically and mentally intimidated, cultural revolution, as it was dubbed, significantly reduced its momentum, but it would be the death of Mao which would start the beginning of its end.
There are other authors who have developed this theory of the culture of fear. One is the American psychologist Martin EP Seligman (Albany, New York, August 12, 1942) Seligman is a psychologist and writer known for his work and contributions in the field of Positive Psychology, and the approach he did in his text "The theory of fear." Martin Seligman argues that there is easier to learn some fears than others. Seligman claims that are prepared by evolution to easily develop fears of certain stimuli such as snakes and spiders, and although it is more likely that other common objects cause pain or injury (such as a hammer, an electric fan, a plug, etc.). less likely to develop phobias for those objects which by spiders or snakes. According to these stimuli representing danger Seligman at the beginnings of human history and through natural selection, have become very effective conditioned stimuli.
A conditioned stimulus from society, for example, fear that infuse the mafias. Although gangs are known to represent an order "unfair", which are organized crime, whose business is theft and death, however they are evil societies accept less than face anarchy. In a society that frightens her citizens, they feel insecure, individuals are willing to accept the "order" of the mafia in exchange to be protected in order to develop their lives.
The societies tolerate anything but anarchy. Those who hold a share of power, and also those who hold globally or hegemonic use fear as a tool of social control. In fact, frighten people about the prospect of chaos is not something that should surprise you, because fear generates power. In retrospect, it is a key resource in the consolidation of the status quo, under this logic, any change in the distribution of power, such as voting against the government, a move seen as destabilizing public order.
You have to make you feel the electorate, therefore, that the price of change is higher than the price without the protection, no matter how precarious sea-established power. "We or chaos" may be the alternative anti-Republican, barely democratic, more characteristic of dictatorships and totalitarian governments, but has a superlative efficiency in postmodern society, a society dominated by long fear of violence, insecurity and disorder, therefore, a society willing to tolerate the corruption of power that does not throw to the anarchic dissolution.
In this scenario it is inevitable to assume that the power should make him turn the chaos, in certain circumstances, for purposes of political survival. That has been the resource that governments have appealed to have the "sum of public power" in particular the so-called 'third world' because in these societies, the fear is and has always been a social discipline, which already discovered centuries ago, Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679), who in "Leviathan", his most famous work, says that social order is affirmed in that feeling.
Hobbes justified and a strong government, a sovereign power to impose order, a political theory of a pessimistic anthropology. Indeed, Hobbes believed that man is an animal incurably selfish and afraid. He laughed at the illusions of the humanists, for whom the man had a core of goodness, and it might improve if he woke in him the love of virtue. Hobbes had no illusions with human nature. Conceived of men as "psychological egoists," involuntary, petty creatures scheduled to be interested only in their own survival and prosperity. However, left to this state of nature, man becomes the "Wolf Man". Life would be a hell of violence and insecurity. The output is logic: someone should bring order to avoid falling into barbarism. It is the philosophy of obedience originated in basic passion is fear.
But the fear that Venezuelans do not feel limited to the 'fear - this' like the U.S. broke with the collapse of the Twin Towers in New York, it is a fear our most ancient, dating back to the time in this country was a White Creole population militarists who, in the 86 years since the War of Independence to the first great twentieth-century dictatorship of Generalissimo of the Meritorious, increased its presence and its political power in an unbalanced way, and that Today, after 45 years of democratic practice, returns as the ghost forgotten in our childhood Republican, charged with the same fears and phobias, and the same promises and the same vandalism, as once overpowering, with promises of the past. Causing fear and institutionalized government-sponsored and works from the public media has kidnapped and also from other private and community that has been seized, with aggressive language and provocative staging some simulated violence within a representation of power (the term is the anthropologist George Baladier) that does not require firing the guns, they display sufficient to sow fear in the group that will adversely.
2 .- THE BENEFIT POL? TICO OF FEAR
Let for a moment the historical and present fears and return to the sociology of fear. A Uruguayan writer Eduardo Galeano, author of "The Open Veins of Latin America" (infamous book, referring to the copy that give away the President of Venezuela to its U.S. counterpart at the Summit in Trinidad 2009) reminds us that "the power Fear eats. " But the demons believe, the power lost their sources of justification, impunity and fortune. "In the past our politicians offered us dreams of a better world. Today promise to protect us from nightmares. The most disturbing of these is the threat of international terrorist network. But just as the dreams were not true, neither are these nightmares" .
Among the various elements and feelings that shape our history, are hatred and fear as political practice gear. Both hatred and fear have always been effective deterrents to establish controls in social clusters.
Welcome to Spanish Without Borders - The arts and culture at your fingertips
The Spanish Without Borders website has been born of the deep desire to share with teachers and students all about the art and Spanish culture.
And we know that this language is now one of the most widely spoken in the world. Is the official language of the UN and many other organizations is also an official language in over 20 countries. It is the language of Cervantes, Calderon de la Barca, Velázquez, Goya and people like you and me.
After searching the Internet information related to them, to impart my classes, I realized back then that I could find but at different sites.
I raised at that time the possibility of creating a page, in which a teacher of Spanish foreign language find a little of everything, literature, history, music, Spanish culture and everything that could lead to an understanding This broader language. Well, this dream has been born anywhere. Welcome to Spanish Without Borders is the page that is already online and only want to contribute to the Spanish language to reach anywhere you can reach this communications network.
Considering that today we find it essential to find good teaching materials related to art and culture to impart good classes, the network, in my view, has come to provide more tools to make it happen.
Considering that today we find it essential to find good teaching materials related to art and culture to impart good classes, the network, in my view, has come to provide more tools to make it happen.
When we think of the years spent in studying the way and often not even paper books we had, today we realize that our reality has changed a lot. Young people do not want to browse only books, indeed, sometimes they get bored of conventional books and seek new ways to study. Internet has come for us to use as a new tool in this work so important that we come to blows.
Teaching Spanish is an art, and is more than uttering words and intonations, is to make the student aware also of the culture, customs, how to live a happy and welcoming people who struggle to preserve heritage historical and is not only them but all of us.
Welcome to Spanish Without Borders wants to work, even with a small part, to both teachers and students to come even closer to a culture that may not be ours, but that is invaluable in literature and Hispanic culture.
Long live the Spanish language, which takes root in our hearts and minds in a way that does not go away ever ...

Digital Camera
A digital camera is a camera that, instead of recording the images on photosensitive film analog cameras, capture images using an electronic sensor and stored in a memory in digital form. Thus, the digital camera allows access to recorded images instantly, avoiding the own laboratory revealed in analog photography.
Type
There are several types of digital camera:
Compact / Ultra compact: they are small, comfortable to wear, simple, bit configurable and offer limited benefits. The goal is not interchangeable but have zoom and resolution sufficient to obtain acceptable images. Bridge: are between SLR and compact in size, price, functionality and quality. They are not interchangeable lens, zoom, LCD screen with live-preview and advanced features. Reflex DSLR: digital version of analog SLR with a sensor that replaces film. This type of digital camera has interchangeable lenses, mirror and pentaprism viewfinder, LCD screen, high quality sensors and automatic and manual controls, but are more heavy, awkward to carry and expensive than the compact. There are two form factors for the sensor, 3:2 (as the negative of 35 mm, conventional DSLR) and 4:3 (reflex 4 / 3, Four Thirds, Four Thirds).

Photo Of The Day: 10/05/2011 "marching An Offering"
My soul is and always will be linked to the sea. As with strings tied to some iron rings. Thus, absorbed in my melancholy I can not but recall to Lope de Vega, one of his sonnets speaks of Andromeda, and the envy aroused in the Nereids, to the point of death they want. Greek mythology has it that Nereus and Doris, had fifty daughters, the Nereids. Inhabiting the deep sea and came to the surface to help the seamen. They were beautiful and melodious voices sang, almost angelic. Appeared before the sailors in distress on the backs of dolphins and other marine creatures and their long hair, headbands adorned with coral. What I think is that the Marines needed drown their sorrows, never better, thinking that in his last moments, the worst of storms, a female creature could free them from the clutches of the ocean. So we were engaged in making offerings, oil, milk or honey deposited on the shores of the beaches. But in reality, the ocean does not release its prey, unless they have given their lives in exchange for return in the form of offal to the mainland.
Thus, weak by nature need to take refuge in the belief in the supernatural. But ... what about us?, I want to believe. And I just mythology Neptune offers that far to save my soul lost at sea, is dedicated to rock the boat and cause huge storms and tsunamis. Let's see, why we can not have a legion of sirens sweet and cuddly to save us with a powerful delicacy?. I propose that this summer, we get to the beach, at midnight, more than anything to not be judged too harshly by bathers, and leave an offering modern. Say a few brave and serving of fried calamari, to see if the sirens are animated and come to our aid ... Marching an offering!. I do not know whether or not delight us with their presence, but certainly the next morning is not the offering. ¿Heavenly message?.

The Galician painter returns to Spain in 1962 and exhibited in Vigo, Madrid, Bilbao and Santiago de Compostela, but in March 1964, returned to Mexico where he died, a few months. And our painter said: "The Spanish painters, for his part, decentered by war and exile, are in turn misled by a contradiction: the magnetism of a new world (landscape, man, culture), and nostalgia an area lost, nostalgia in peace and solitude, magnifies, intensifies, idealizes, the qualities of a Spanish land and light that have been fixed in the retina and the memory.

Photo Of The Day 06.06.2011 "The Show Must Go On"
Tin, tin, tin, so, so ... sounded a little music while moving rhythmically mime, gestures of action figure. Suddenly the marimba, changed speed and stopped harlequin undaunted. Staring into infinity, the left arm slightly raised. Not a muscle of his face was altered. At his feet was placed a small carousel, it seemed very old, even slightly discolored. I stopped to observe the details of his costume and makeup. He heard the background music accompanying the scene in a beat. And the carousel spinning and spinning ... There were several characters. A kind of elephant, but thin, with a belt, which simulated a female body, a lion with a ballerina tutu, a short-necked giraffe, a donkey with braces on teeth and finally, a child with green hair. Startled, I looked so sublime cast of characters. It was just great. In the background, the music continued, each time with a more intense pace. The carousel was spinning faster and faster, until suddenly shot off its axis and the characters are scattered in the street. My first instinct was approached to pick them up one by one and see if they had broken.
I first took the ass. I grabbed the tail and put it in the palm of the hand. I felt a tap, a kick. It was not possible!, Had come to life. - Could you be more careful, protested, with how expensive are these brackets! - I'm sorry, I stammered, hardly believing what was happening. I looked around ... The lion dance on tiptoe, waving gracefully their pink tutu. The giraffe, running aimlessly, trying to stretch her tiny neck, to see something beyond the elephant looked coyly her slender figure, reflected in a piece of broken bottle that was on the floor and finally the green-haired boy was placed at the foot of mime and began to stretch his harlequin pants. - Hey, mimo! He shouted as he continued pulling on the fabric. Mime shifted his position and said - Tell me little - Do not you remember me? - How could I forget myself? Now I do not understand anything, I sighed rubbing my eyes in disbelief. You see, I said the street performer, with a calm voice, I am in this corner, every day of the year. People are looking for my concentration, my makeup, trying even to change position giving me some money.
However, you have been the only one you've been fascinated more by the carousel, that for me. That deserved a prize. My father was a cabinetmaker, I built it with his own hands, so you never forget, how beautiful it can be, being different from others. Therefore, each animal represented just the opposite attribute that we associate. When all the children playing football, I was fascinated with the theater. And so, in a performance, I painted the green hair, to fit better with my character, and I could not remove the dye in months. The children laughed and did not want me going to school. Until the carousel rang, and turned and I was fascinated so much that I never care what others say. Do you know why?. Because the show must go on. Figures collected gently reassembled the carousel, regained its position, the music sounded and everything returned to normal. I looked around and saw people passed by without even noticing the artist. I looked back and winked at me knowingly, while depositing coins at his feet. - Goodbye harlequin. Thanks for making me feel, as especially different.

History of the Art of Painting
Color has fascinated culture throughout history, every age and every region has produced dyes and pigment depending on the resources available. The color has been with us for over 20,000 years. Evidence survives in cave paintings. The color was widely used by ancient Egyptians and was considered to have magical properties and healing and about this time, 1500 BC, while painting was an art quite widely established in Crete and Greece to the Egyptians passing their skills the Romans.
EGYPT: Egyptians used a technique of Temple, bringing together the pigments with water and gum, cola and egg and applying the colors separately, without mixing them with each other. The discovery of the tombs at Thebes released many of the tools that were used in his painting: colored stones to grind, paddle with holes or containers, etc.. The colors used were blue enamel, cinnabar red, Indian yellow, ocher, brown, green and black. His pictures were resolved on a white preparation.
Greece: The Greeks continued to use the Temple. The invention of Encaustic is attributed to Polygnotus. Pliny is the only one who has made a brief and clear mention of the procedure. With a kind of hot punch the color applied on the wall or table.
ROME: The Temple and Encaustic painting retains the characteristics of Greek origin. Not clear in which period it was discovered the technique of Fresco. This was well developed in Roman civilization, as evidenced by the ruins of Herculaneum and Pompeii.
MIDDLE AGES: The rivals Temple Fresco painting in churches, mansions and bunkers. This technique and the Fresco contained in the manuscripts of the monks Heraclius and Theophilus. Christianity, on the work of the monks who, away from a rigid discipline of human interests, had to find a distraction to break the monotony of their lives, the study of science and especially the practice of the arts.
Appears in the eleventh century Romanesque art. The early masters of Siena (Italy), starting from the Byzantine influences, around which revolves around the Romanesque, seeking greater fluidity in the composition of his paintings. The monk Theophilus wrote in 1200 a treatise on painting, Diversarum Artium Schedule, recommending the use of linseed oil and gum of Arabia, also known as Glass or FORNIS. There were painters applying a coat of linseed oil on a painting at the Temple, colors revived, recovered the intensity and brightness of the Temple freshly painted.
Some precursors of Art Painters:
Italian painter Pietro Caballini 1250-1330. His work follows the Byzantine mural marks the twelfth and thirteenth centuries in the West. Master Cimabue.
Cimabue 1240-1303 Italian painter and architect. It represents the last phase of Italian Romanesque painting and the transition to Gothic art. His work is distinguished in two styles: a Byzantine influence, with rigid figures. And another notable for the realism that gives his figures.
Since the mid-thirteenth century Gothic appears. Life returns to town, crafts and trade lead to a new bourgeoisie. The artist belongs to a guild. It does not always work indoors in churches and monks under the guidance of architects. Now place the orders in his own workshop. He owns his time and material used in all subjects.

The Dangers of Nuclear Energy (Japan)
The major earthquake of 8.9 on the Richter scale that struck Japan has jeopardized the leading experts in nuclear power due to damage suffered in several nuclear power plants in that country. In
The power infrastructure have been severely damaged by the earthquake so as for the subsequent tsunami that devastated the coast of Japan, at which time many countries have turned to look towards renewable energy and the future role they can play in our planet .
At the time of the earthquake, the central Fukushima suffered various damages that affected the electricity supply cooled nuclear reactors so they proceeded to arrest them, however, core temperature was very high so it is activated to keep diesel engines pumping water and prevent further core temperature up and caused a nuclear meltdown.
Unfortunately, the earthquake had also affected diesel engines so that the water supply stopped working and part of one of the nuclei merged. In another reactor, given the amount of pressure there, we proceeded to release steam (with high levels of hydrogen) to the outer containment compartment to prevent damage to the vessel (internal protection of steel and concrete) that contains the reactor and this deflagration caused by binding with oxygen exists there.
The only existing solution is continuously pumped seawater to the kernel to prevent it from merging and causing a nuclear catastrophe. Unfortunately, there have been several explosions and one does affect the internal walls of the containment of a reactor causing a small leak of radiation.
These are critical moments that make us rethink the security of nuclear energy and the level of sustainability that we have today with our planet, as a nuclear Unfortunately this can turn any area into a desert planet unfit for anything for hundreds of years .
Travel to Morocco for the vacation of Rafting
Morocco is a unique destination for sports such as rafting, kayaking or canoeing. Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts offer more than 3700 kilometers of coastline, two major mountain mass, divided in the Middle, High and First-Atlas, with the highest peak? Northern Africa to 4175 meters of altitude, and the Rif Mountains Facing the Mediterranean, provide innumerable rivers that flow down its slopes and river network of thousands of kilometers. Moreover, the diversity of the Moroccan landscape, biodiversity and its coasts and excellent rural tourism industry and its great climate and many attractions make it one of the most popular destinations in the world and a of the most attractive for rafting. Water levels vary depending on the season, but the most favorable period for rafting is spring, from March to May. Melting mountains and a slight increase in rainfall provide excellent conditions decline, spectacularly adorned by the panorama of snow-capped Atlas mountains. Some of the most exciting and challenging landing sites are in the wadis, these gullies or creek beds so characteristic of the Maghreb and the Middle East, which are usually almost deserted.
It is usually found at the bottom of canyons and gorges, with breathtaking views of mountains and fresh water, pure and fast. A region known for its exceptional conditions for rafting is the basin of the Oum Er R'bia in the Middle Atlas. He says his name, which means "Mother of Spring?, Comes from over 40 sources of salt and fresh water that feeds the river, but the mythical version says Oum Errabia vowed sacrifice, drowning, 40 people a year . Our Er R'bia River has a flow rate of 117m ³ considerable per second, which explains the fact that no fewer than eight dams have been built along its 575 km. A great fall near the source is about 13 miles downstream from the bridge Tanifnit, or about 32 miles if you choose to reach Khenifra.
Also in the High Atlas, Ahanssel River is a great place for rafting for the whole family. Its clear water rapids, descending by steep gorges and stunning rock massifs, offer some of the most beautiful scenery in Morocco. The rapids there, like the famous "Wee Stinky? (Little Stinky?) Or "Cheeky Monkey? (Mono Brash) are exciting but below Level Three, apart from the area of the Mohammed Ali Throat powerful, making this region a great destination for rafting with children. The descent through the villages of Beni Mellal and Khenifra, the small village bordering n'Ward Imi and ending at the beautiful Lake Bin El Ouidane is also a perfect place. In the high Ahanssel, we also recommend the nearly 30 kilometers downhill from Zaouia Ahansal to Tilougguite. Other places great for rafting and kayaking are falling Dades Gorges, including the decrease from Boulmalne and gorges of Todgha to Skoura, a distance of nearly 75 miles, the Oued El Abid, 16 miles upriver from Taguelft, where you can descend to reach Ouaouizaght. But, as in many developing countries, water is a vital and invaluable resource.
Furthermore, as in many other African countries, is also a scarce resource. In Morocco in particular, with more than 3200 miles of Atlantic and Mediterranean coast has a heavy dependence on water and its proper maintenance and care. The diversity of fauna and flora, the stability of its economy developing but still poor and, most importantly, the health and welfare of its people depend crucially on its cleanliness, its just supply and protection. Many organizations and associations work conscientiously to avoid the dumping of industrial waste into the sea, ocean conservation and sources of fresh water and against the unequal distribution fee and lack of water supply. But all these circumstances, which have already caused an enduring crisis that points to long-term serious consequences still occur continuously, but can be avoided if we become aware of them and campaign or act on them. Remember, no water, no surf! So, whatever your choice for the fall-rafting, kayak or canoe, Morocco offers a fantastic variety of rapids and lakes as well as a natural and unique biodiversity.
The accommodation is cheap, varied and high quality. Morocco also offers many attractions and advantages: a fascinating and ancient history, an exquisite and delicious food, accommodation of the most diverse and affordable, a town famous for its generosity and hospitality. Morocco Come and enjoy the water, its people and its magic! Their experience of rafting and other adventure sports even more successful if you choose the most suitable accommodation in Morocco and better located for access to rapid and rivers. Many hotels in Morocco will help you organize your travel and rent all the equipment you need. And enjoy the fall!
Reasons for taking advantage of offerings Holidays In Lanzarote
On the Atlantic Ocean archipelago welcomes us with its beautiful volcanic landscapes and incredible biodiversity. Given the large number of holiday deals to be found to travel to this magnificent place is an excellent idea to make a trip to these tropical beaches and exuberant nature.
The concern for preserving the environment, and protect the flora and fauna particularly in the region, has led the Canaries to take measures to protect such beautiful landscapes and spaces can be found here. What is constantly sought to find a balance between tourism development and conservation of the delicate island ecosystem. In 1993 the UNESCO declared Lanzarote a Biosphere Reserve in an effort to raise public awareness about the need for conservation of the environment. Specifically, the fact that Lanzarote is a Biosphere Reserve is a way to secure funds to achieve economic development in these areas without harming nature.
The island of Lanzarote is distinctly mountainous and volcanic terrain of great antiquity alternating geological mountains and volcanoes of more recent creation. Timanfaya is a volcanic area, which houses the remains of important eruptions occurred at the site. The area is of geological interest, marked by the eruptions occurred in the years 1730 and 1736. Here we have created the Timanfaya National Park, about 50 km ² which is about 25 volcanoes. The activity of the earth does not stop, so it is possible to see at a glance the heat emanations can still register.
Human ingenuity has managed to recapture the lands that had been devastated by constant volcanic eruptions in the region. The locals found the fertile soil beneath the layer of volcanic ash, which they call picon, and used it to plant vines, especially Malvasia grape variety, giving rise to the famous wines of Lanzarote. Subsequently, the picon is placed on the ground again as it has the property of allowing water infiltration and retain moisture in the atmosphere. Furthermore, around the vines are built small walls whose mission is to stop the prevailing winds, creating a very particular landscape, for example in the area of La Geria.

Collaborative Work in the Classroom
COLLABORATIVE WORK IN THE CLASSROOM.
Teamwork is working in harmony. Those who participate in a work group access to the principle of collective organization. That is, contribute to achieving a common good. Education is essential to promote teamwork, and further collaborative work in learners. Generally, the teacher is one who performs the organizational activity, and in many cases is limited to only give indications of what students should do. He points out how it is organized, as do the activities and distribution of roles among the members. This dynamic does its job but without much benefit. The students carry out and exactly what his master faithfully. However, the technique lacks opportunities for the development of skills that are Needless important in the current educational model.
Teamwork is reduced to a simple form of collective activity. Without propitiate and create a true learning environment is the biggest challenge for teachers. Usually, the teachers claim that the team members to plan an activity, a display name; and this present to colleagues a nice job with attractive foil to the subject matter, omitting the rest of the members. In the best cases, students' share the issue "and only repeated what he says the source is consulted. In contrast, collaborative work in the classroom promotes collective participation, duly organized within a framework of joint activity and defined.
Each member has a specific role and contributions, ideas and proposals are considered to build an exhibition project based on critical thinking, experience and decision-making. That is, working collaboratively is to assume a role of responsibility among the members of a preponderates computer where the sense of belonging to it. All suggestions are valid and the process to shape the intervention of the team before the group is planned meticulously, so that no element is left without participating. The dynamics of exposure is decided by all. The teacher interacts or intervenes only as a mediator or moderator general. Who are the main characters are students. contribute not only play X function, but actively participate in each of the actions. Contribute clear proposals and temperament of others. Collaborate allows students to be encouraged, and most importantly, considered by his teacher.
The responsibilities and commitments are distributed consensus, equitable and democratic, and not by imposition of the team leader. The educational activity requires the immediate processing of obsolete methods and paradigms.
The classroom must become an interactive space where students live and coexist, and demonstrate their skills, abilities and skills through collaborative work. In this way we will be promoting the development of life skills.
