The Insecurity

Claiming "security" or worry about the "insecurity" can mean very different things. Under this term, among other things, it should be concerned about: 

a) the insecurity of the childrens of the street, who clean the windows of cars. 

b) the insecurity of the unemployed people, who lack the minimum resources for the subsistence of themselves and their family.

 c) The Insecurity of people living in informal settlements, deprived of basic services and the corresponding title to the parcels they occupy.

d) The insecurity of the elderly low-income families who are huddled in appalling conditions geriatric with alarming regularity and catching fire, or collapse.

e) The insecurity of the people that eat garbage, or manually manipulate living on the streets or in garbage dumps.

Finally it should also be concerned about the safety of people living in gated communities or country clubs. 

This latter concern is of course legitimate, but there should be no doubt that, socially, insecurity alluded to in the first five points is much more serious than the last-mentioned. 


WHAT IS THE REAL INSECURITY?

Steve Jobs, an interesant person

Steve Jobs, the mastermind behind Apple's iPhone, iPad, iPod, iMac and iTunes, has died, Apple said. Jobs was 56.

Jobs died peacefully, surrounded by family members, his family said in a statement. In recent years Jobs had fought a form of pancreatic cancer and had a liver transplant.

"Steve's brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve all of our lives," read a statement byApple's board of directors. "The world is immeasurably better because of Steve. His greatest love was for his wife, Laurene, and his family. Our hearts go out to them and to all who were touched by his extraordinary gifts."

Jobs co-founded Apple Computer in 1976 and, with his childhood friend Steve Wozniak, marketed what was considered the world's first successful personal computer, the Apple II.

Industry watchers called Jobs a master innovator -- perhaps on a par with Thomas Edison -- changing the worlds of computing, recorded music and communications.

"I'm shocked and disturbed," said Wozniak when reached by ABC News. Later, on ABC News' "Nightline," he said it was hard to imagine, in some ways, how the world would move forward without Jobs.

"You get shocked when people you know die," Wozniak said. "And this was closer to when John Lennon died, or JFK or Martin Luther King."

As Jobs' death was announced, the homepage of Apple's website switched to a full-page image of Jobs with the text, "Steve Jobs 1955-2011."

Clicking on the image brought one to additional text that was attributed to current Apple's current CEO, Tim Cook.

"Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being," the text read. "Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple."

Reaction to Jobs' death came from far and wide.

"Michelle and I are saddened to learn of the passing of Steve Jobs," President Obama said in a written statement. "Steve was among the greatest of American innovators - brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it."

Jobs' rivals in the development of personal computers, Microsoft co-founders Bill Gates and Paul Allen, immediately reacted to his death and highlighted his importance to their industry.

Allen called him "a unique tech pioneer and auteur who knew how to make amazingly great products."

Gates, offering condolences, said, "Steve and I first met nearly 30 years ago, and have been colleagues, competitors and friends over the course of more than half our lives.

"The world rarely sees someone who has had the profound impact Steve has had, the effects of which will be felt for many generations to come," Gates said. "For those of us lucky enough to get to work with him, it's been an insanely great honor. I will miss Steve immensely."

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg said, "Steve, thank you for being a mentor and a friend. Thanks for showing that what you build can change the world. I will miss you."

Jobs continued to innovate in recent years despite his failing health. He took three medical leaves from Apple.

In 2004, he beat back an unusual form of pancreatic cancer, and in 2009 he was forced to get a liver transplant. Jobs finally announced on Aug. 24, 2011 that he was stepping down as Apple's chief executive.

"I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple's CEO, I would be the first to let you know," Jobs wrote in his letter of resignation. "Unfortunately, that day has come."

He remained as chairman of the corporation, a new position created for him.

THE Match

Pumas vs All Blacks

Well...…I think this post for before the game of the Saturday night, but because of some internet problems caused by the storm I should uploaded today.

The main idea was to discuss about the really important match between the International Team of Rugby of Argentina and the International Team of Rugby of New Zeland.The “Pumas” and the “all Blacks” respectly.I choose the topic because in my opinion, is one of the toughest and more important games that the Pumas has to confront ever. There are the quarter finals and there is not a looong road to the final, but here they are: the best and legendary team of the history of this sport.

They practically create the rugby (the rugby was invented by the English) or changed the way of play it at least, start n 1884 and his first test match was in 1903, and form there until today they never stop. The Strong, the Quickness, the Ability, the History, the People and more…they have it all, nobody thinks that they will lose this world cup, and with a record of a %75,1 of the games wined since the creation of the federation of rugby of New Zeland the numbers support them. The Point is: SHIT! They are beasts
But here we are, the Americans, the Argentineans. We have played this for a long time, and we played it well. We have very good players playing in Europe and good clubs here in Buenos Aires, Cordoba or Rio Cuarto. Our team plays with passion and with the heart, and that plus the ability and the individual and collective skills of the team make us the 5° Best Selection of the world (1° All Blacks – 2° South Africa – 3° Australia – 4° England) and a rival from fear and respect.
So, what do you think? They are opportunities to make history? To rewrite the history? Can we win our first world cup against the all mighty All Blacks?? Let me now you answer or opinion about this legendary fight between two giants of the Rugby!

TEENAGERS AND ALCOHOL

I think nowdays teenagers uses this letal drink more often than never. Maybe is for the fact that is a fashion, or a way to be "IN" on the young society. But they don´t realise that this way of fun can expose them to many risks.
Some of them drink alcohol because the considered that it´s really fun to be drunk, and give them like a TOUCH to have the encourage to make things they usually don´t do been sober; they become more outgoing, fun, funny. Also they considered that see the things turning, everything extrange, to walk in a funny way, to lose the control it´s pretty cool.This is serious.
There are two things that aren´t very well here. One is the bad concept of the youngs on these days, "everyones get drunk, so do I". Nooooooooo!!! On that condition , they can´t think well, they lose the limits. This is a perfect oportunity for someone who wants to force them to make something they don´t want, maybe to abuse, or even rape. A teenager that has been drinking very much can make dangerous things, like cross the street when pass all the cars, fall and get hurt, things like that .
 The other thing is what their parents do about it, what they teach them, and how much control have on their children.
Many times, parents give permission without knowledge of who are their children going out with, on what are they are going to go, what time they are going to back home, and in what condition  they get in at the house.
I think parents have to teach them the diference on what is right or wrong,and about what problems they set up. And teenagers have to aware if worth to drink that much and expose them self to that risks only to be "In".
