MULES

In the last years, the illegal traffic of drugs has designed new methods of transport and introduction in different countries, especially in United States and European Union.
The typical drug-pushers have been replaced for young women; in general they are of humble origin. These women are contracted to store drugs inside their bodies so they can bring to the destination. They received the name of “mules”.

There are some ways to camouflage drugs. Nowadays the method more usual and more dangerous consists of ingesting capsules. These capsules contain heroine, cocaine or ecstasy, and these are stored inside stomach and after the “mules” expel these for anal route.

This process needs training; little by little the “mules” are increasing doses until incredible ends. The worst situation for them is when the capsules exploit inside their bodies now that this circumstance leads the death.

When these new drug-pushers arrive at the airport and they go through the customs the unique way of know if they transport drugs inside their bodies is doing a radiograph of their stomach. In this X-ray photography you can see lots of oval shapes and the police recover the drugs when the “mules” expel these by digestive tract.

The last film that speaks about a drug “mule” is in “María, full of grace”. In my opinion is an interesting film where you can see one example of a woman “mule”.

SINGLES

Always society has inculcated life in couple with the objective to create and form a family. This type of life has been the perfect structure for many people, until short time ago if you arrived at specific age and you were not married, you were a strange person. But little by little society is changing in this aspect because nowadays to live alone is for lots of people a new style of life. Increasingly there are more people that live alone, in Spain there are seven millions of citizens that live without partner.
This change is due to some aspects as lack of time, isolation in big cities, incorporation of women in labour world, preoccupation to get a good position in the professional world, increase of separations and divorces and finally an old age more active and numerous.

We are speaking about a species more common every time, therefore they have converted in a group very requested for the industry. They are considering users of maximum consumption of fashion, decoration, technology, luxury and trips.
The industry has promoted products specialized in this group as products of food with little formats, magazines, travel agencies, and webs, for example, Match.com, Meetic.es or be2.es

The next important event for singles is a cruiser in November; I think this is an interesting option to know more people…

19th February, 1976

I arrived at this place 115 days ago, and this morning I thought that I couldn't stand this situation one more day. However my pessimistic attitude has changed.
When I woke up this morning I though that the day would be as usual. Moreover I was very dejected because after the last storm, I had lost all my possessions. The only thing that I could recover was my knife and my notebook because I had protected them. Besides I lost my illusion to exist, I thought that the life didn’t have any sense.
But while I was having breakfast my coconut, as every day, I listened to a strange noise, but familiar. From that moment my purpose changed, that noise was wonderful, that was a plane!
I started to wave my t-shirt in the air during the time that the plane was visible, and after it disappeared.
Now I am very nervous and I have the expectation that they have seen me. I hope that in few days I can be at home writing the success of the rescue…

MINI SAGA: A STRANGE JOURNEY

I could see the gun of my fellow traveller while he was keeping a spectacular necklace inside my handbag. Our plane landed, I went through customs and he got in the taxi with me. In a traffic light, he gave me a precious ring; he caught my bag and disappeared.

THE PARADISE

In these days of winter, I want to share with you where the paradise is. In my opinion, the paradise is in the Indian Ocean, next to Sri Lanka and the best is that you can find 1.200 little paradises!!

Here all is perfect, there are exuberant palms, shining beachs with white sand, turquoise lagoons and an ideal place to practice scuba diving or snorkelling because there are coral gardens and multiple coloured tropical fish that swim lazily in the clear waters. The sea is so crystalline that you can see without problems rays, little sharks and original fishes.

Here the days are hot and humid throughout the year, with temperatures of about 25-30 C but you must take into account that there are two seasons: a dry monsoon and a wet monsoon. This fact is important because if it is raining you cannot value the beauties of this place.

I speak about Maldivas Islands, for me, THE PARADISE! I recommend you to visit it, always that you need relax and you like the sea. You only need a swimsuit, a book and a snorkelling equip. In addition, if you can choose the type of room, you must select a water bungalow; between many advantages, you have your own stairs to accede to the sea!

I hope return some day...

The insecurity in the airplanes

In the last forty years, some terrorist actions have been perpetrated in planes and airports. However it was not until S-11 that to travel by plane has happened to be pleasant to unsafe.

The last terrorist plan consisted to introduce inside the aeroplanes explosive liquid prepared to exploit in full flight. This terrorist event demonstrates that another attack can be imminent. For this reason, the security controls have increased in all airports.
Even so, the company British Airways has announced the finding of radioactive remains in two passenger’s planes of her fleet. This incident means that 33.000 passengers have been able to travel in some of 221 flights that these planes have made.

These events demonstrate that although many security measures exist; always the terrorists will be able to use the aeroplanes as way to kill and terrify the western population.

I am reading “The curious incident of the dog in the night-time” and I consider that the behavior of the main character is interesting. For this reason, I have looked for information about this syndrome.

The Asperger’s Syndrome is a hard disorder about the development. This syndrome is characteristic for important difficulties in the social interaction and for a limited and unusual behavior. People affected with this syndrome have not the capacity to recognize the mental states of the rest of people; that is to say, they have problems with the corporal language of other people. The humans, severely affected, have problems, for example, to recognize the meaning of a smile and they prevent the ocular contact because this result crushing for them. They are happier in structured atmospheres and with routines.

In spite of these problems, they can obtain a big concentration in interesting subjects like means of transport and computers. They usually stand out in mathematics and science. Their concentration is obsessive and their memory is almost perfect. They are considered exceptionally gifted intellectually, however little gifted in the social ambit.

This syndrome is not considered an illness, now that, the expectative of live is the same that the rest of the people.

This year has been declared “International Year Aperger’s Syndrome” because this is the century of Hans Asperger’s birth; he was an Austrian psychiatrist who published the first definition of Asperger’s Syndrome in 1944.

Some curious facts are that well-know people as Albert Einsten and Isaac Newton through of their biographies have been related with this syndrome for their behavior and social problems.

Nowadays some specialists are still arguing if we can speak about Asperger and Autism like a same disorder, now that, many similarities exist between these syndromes but there are some differences too.
