A global world

Weather forecast: Max 25ºC, Min 15ºC, 15Km/h SE Wind, sunny with some cloud

I have just woken up in this wonderful day! And today I am going to talk about looking for a life in a foreign country.

It is a deed we are living in a world linked with each country. If there is a crisis in one country, each country feels it. And this is a deed for any issue, a thing many people criticizes. Nevertheless, I don´t want to speak about this hard word but I will focus on human resources.

In these days, a person who can´t speak in English is over and limited to their country. A huge disadvantage because experts say It is necessary to relocate internationally as well as to have a multi-cultural vision. In addition, there is more enterprises who operates in different countries and they seek this sort of workers with willingness to relocate. Thus, most European countries have university degrees entirely in English. No, Spain It isn´t in this group!

Although there are other reasons which could finish in a relocation (like bad economic situations, wars and so forth), I will focus in another scope like these developed countries workers, highly skilled with a 6-7 knowledge level, that is, with a degree or a bachelor. Indeed, there is an special market for this kind of workers.

In USA, there are programs between Europe and USA which permits this workers to have a work in USA like it follows:

-Working Holidays: to this university students in summer break, which permits you to have a temporary employee like waiter, dishwasher and so on but It is really interesting in order to practice your English and you can visit the country during a month like a tourist. An interesting option because you can earn more money than the fees paid. See www.ciee.org/ for more information.

-J1 Internship or trainee: if you have finished your university studies less one year ago, you must find and interested US enterprise in your field, you must make the bureaucracy (CIEE can help you) and finally you must pass an interview in the Embassy. If you are chosen, congratulations, you will able to work in US up to 2 months to 12 months. Okay, in this case you need a good English level spoken and written but I guess if you are listening an English blog, lol. And you must have less than 35 years old.

In New Zealand, you have 3 options not limited to all European countries:

-A sponsorship of a kiwi enterprise who shows there is no kiwi workers availables to this job and then, you must pass an interview with immigrant officers.

-Longterm Skill Shortage List, if you have a degree or relevant experience in one subject demanded for NZ. But you need a IELST 6.5 mark or European C1 level diploma. Until 50 y.o.

-Working holidays, if there are this program in you country and It is similar to US program but you need show you have NZ$4,000 in your bank account and you have less than 35 y.o.

In Australia, there are several programs not limited to the hole Europe:

-Another sponsorship

-Skilled immigration, if you have a degree, if your job is demanded, if you have at least 12 month of experience in this job in the last 24 months and if you have 6.5 IELST

-Working holiday: more restricted than NZ pass.

So, you can see there are strong process and It is more complicated in kiwi or aussi countries. I think there are "rules followers" and you must be returned to your country if something is wrong with you.

Moreover, we can´t forget working in Europe because of Schengen space. That is, you can work in another European country without any problems or with minimum limits. In this case, you must find a job and speak French or German and English. More languages, are assets. And of course, there are several university programs who can help to introduce to high skilled job if you have a degree.

To conclude this entry, I would give the idea It is necessary to have a multi-cultural vision and willingness to relocate and travel if you seek working, of course. In addition, now It s required you speak at least 3 languages (your mother tongue, English and French or German or Chinese) and, of course, in this world so specialized you must have a university degree.

Have a nice day, I am going to run a little!!!

Like little boys

Hello, people!!!

I am here again and you will say: "Oh, no! He is back with his poor entries!" Indeed, I know you are my follower and I love you too. lol

One time I read in a book a character who described the weather more or less before he gave the news (You can read "Pars vite et reviens tard" from Fred Vargas). So, I am thinking this could be a good idea to make these entries the most human possible and I am going to begin like this way.

Madrid weather forecast: sunny without clouds, max. 28ºC, min. 13ºC, 5 Km/h NE wind

Wow, now, I think that everybody can imagine how the weather is here where I am.

I have thought about what I can talk about today and I have 2 options: whether I can speak about the substantial lost in our rights in developed countries or I can write about what is a person who wants to work in another country thinking about?

It s decision time! I give up and my coin will decide: head option 1 and tails option 2. Please, I need you make this special kind of music.

(time for music)

I am waiting for

(time for music)

...

(time for music)

Okay, I give up and I ll do it without a stupid music. The coin is flying and... I have head! (yes, I was playing with the coin and now I have to review what option is head). Oh, I am sorry but i have to write a little about politics!

I begin! In our schools, highschools or universities, everybody talks about freedom, such a powerful word that can be make wars and struggles. However, each time I read newspapers, I see a new lost in our rights.

For example, in Canada, you can be arrested if someone believes you are a terrorist and police can use all the methods to the guilty speaks, that is, torture is permitted. Yes, this new policy forgets "Ginebra accord" but no one says anything, " it is a good reason", they think.

Another example is in Spain, when firing fees have gone down a 66% (of 40 salary days per year worked to 10-20 salary days), when a young can be work in an internship contract until he/she are 30 years old (before with a 2 years limit) or when It is possible to have a chain of temporary employees without limit (before it was a 2 years limit and in this old case, temporary employees must turn into permanent employees).

And so forth.

Therefore, all our efforts in developed countries to improve our rights has been decreased and there are several excuses such as terrorism, economic problems and so on. That is , all they want to say us and, as we are sillies, we accept without any doubt.

Nevertheless, we kill all what we have done in different issues like environment, employ or law. I would like to see the face of first US citizen when new taxes must be paid for all the US people.

From the other hand, one reason can be the guilty, I guess. In this crisis time, we have seen European and American economies are going down but BRIC countries and more specially China, have more benefits either. As consequent, Occidental economies tend to follow Asian economy but we forgot all that I have know about freedom and rights. China knows they have a huge advantage, they have a lot of people like resource. So, they can work all the time in poor conditions and they have the cheapest goods (well, another time I will speak about China and their future) but there is no democracy, no liberties, no environmental concern and so on. Therefore, we forget all we have done, a 30/40 hours per week, democracy, improvement of family and work link, protect of environment, freedom of expression and all the things I can forget.

Finally, I don´t believe we can forget all what I have done because we have to think we have made a "better world". Every people knows the American Dream. Every people wants to live in our countries with social services. So, politicians have to think about this, do we want to give up our Occidental live way?

Have a nice beginning of week!

Is Ipad better than paper in flight cockpits?

Recently, I have read on Twitter an airline has changed all the paper used during the flight for Apple Ipad and there is a discussion about which is the better option? You can read it here: http://www.treehugger.com/files/2011/09/ask-pablo-will-ipads-in-the-cockpit-lower-paper-use.php?campaign=th_rss&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+treehuggersite+(Treehugger)&utm_content=Google+Reader

This is a good post but I am fed up with everybody only uses the CO2e (CO2 equivalent) or the green-house measures in order to make each analysis because they forget there is other problems.I guess I will write my thesis about climate change and about other environmental issues.

In this case, according to the post, Ipad is better than 8 paper sheets per flight because CO2 is lower. Okay, It is fine and I don t deny it but has somebody thought that several patterns are required to make an analysis? Unfortunately, the answer is no... We are in the real world.

In this case We make like poor countries because we don´t employ a scientific methodology, that is, we don´t include all the patterns related. Maybe It is intentional to promote Apple Ipads in each cockpit, I don´t know but I find it very possible.

So, in my opinion like an environmental scientist, It is necessary to include all the patterns of each option (Ipad and paper) with a multi-criteria methodology. Thus, we could know which option is the better (maybe the worst for Apple, lol).

Consequently, I will speak about another problematic associated to Ipad like energy required, water used or polluted, metals, heavy metals (very toxic for human and environmental health), acids and bases from battery, different kinds of plastic and so on (since manufacturing process to waste phase).

In the other hand, I am tired people doesn´t use the things real price for materials non renewables . What is the real price when I talk about resources non renewables? Despite all the inconvenients that they could be because of their use, we remove the possibility  that futures generation can profit them or use. Of course, environment also lose this resource. Therefore, we use a false price in our goods. For example, in Spain the petrol used to produce energy costs 0,09 euros per liter or US$0,12 per liter
(when the petrol for cars or for heating costs nearly €1,4 per liter or US$1,92 per liter), an economic price if we think that we are removing little fossils forever and, mainly,  we eliminate a precious resource to obtain plastics, oils and other materials.

To sum up, I want to say if we add all the patterns involucrated, we could know more precisely which is the alternative with less environmental impact. Maybe with this way Apple will able to loss some of money, I don´t know.

Indeed, I would like to remember an idea from the Spanish philosopher Ortega-Gasset: We shouldn´t look one only dimension, we must look around the deed which concerns us in order to understand all dimensions presents.

Have a nice day!

Nightmare in the fog

Today, I have awoken up because of a nightmare. I thought She was under my arms in this lonely night. She wasn´t here, It s a deed that I know. Each minute I need her breath, her touch, her soul.

She isn´t here. So, I look at cloudy sky and I try to look for a new mark which can guess if you are right in these moments.

I wish you were fine after you had gone. I would like see your eyes when you are asleep until dawn. I would be like an artist who paints landscapes.

Everything has passed, our relationship, our lives, our paths and our wishes. I know because I am not so foolish. I will continue loving you besides months, besides years.. besides the time. There is no wall, no mountain to block my feeling.

Each night, I give you goodnight in my head and I give you a big huge. Each night, I pray for your happiness like a lover. A lover who wants you have a smile because each smile is one glimmer of light in my spooky world.

This is a memory, a pray for you. Despite You will never come back, I write a letter in order to show I don´t forget you, my little soulmate.

Maybe you don´t exist, maybe you are just a dream. Maybe I am crazy for this reason . Nobody knows. Otherwise, I am waiting for you like a dreamer in fairy tales.

Goodbye another day that I wasted to find you, without any success. See you one day, my missing puzzle piece.

A Sunday morning

Well, I am here again, despite this wonderful Sunday headache. Yeah, I have drunk very much. At least, it could be funny but not I don´t have a hangover! Indeed, I have drunk a lot of water to take the orange pills. That is, the cold enemy because  I think I am the one person who has a cold with sunny and warm days.

Today, I didn´t know what I wanted to say. Indeed, I don´t know and I am thinking about. I wish I could speak about relationship such as friends or girl friends. May be I am not ready. Let´s try to focus it!!!!!!!!!

You know this is a big lie. Though everybody tell us we need to have friends in our life, there is no close friends. They are there to obtain one thing from you like company, help, fun, money and so on. It can be harmful, I know, and It is difficult to say. So, we are alone over the hole life. Nobody stays in the most difficult times. Therefore, if you have one true friend, you are lucky.

It is incredible but I have written only this in all the day and I think whether I must write something or I must erase these words with no reasons. Hint in my mind: with no ideas, don´t write, man!

Given today is not my day, I will continue another day with the love "affaire", this curse for each mortal who lives in this little planet. Most of people have fear of atomic bomb and they ignore love is even worst for several reasons: is a drug and you want to take more and more, you get poisoned and later, you finish with such a devastation like an atomic bomb but you will continue with these disease until the death. However, Shakespeare said: there will be no writers, if love doesn´t exist.  I know, I have killed Shakespeare...

I would give thanks to one friend who has discovered me this unfamous sonnet 116 and personally I dislike Shakespeare but I can´t say the same with their sonnets. Well, now I finish this bad entry and I try to fix a little with the following sonnet. Have a good start in this week!

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments: love is not love

Which alters when it alteration finds,

Or bends with the remover to remove.

Oh no! it is an ever-fixèd mark

That looks on tempests and is never shaken;

It is the star to every wandering bark,

Whose worth's unknown although his height be taken.

Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks

Within his bending sickle's compass come;

Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,

But bears it out even to the edge of doom.



If this be error and upon me proved,

I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

Welcome to my world!

Hi to all! First, I would like to agreed you because you are like this museum visitant that is needed to maintain the city culture. And, here I am and I promise to write the best I can do, writing time after time or whenever if possible.

Finally, I have made this decision. Maybe I am a bit crazy due to the fact I am not an English native and personally, I speak better another language because I don´t think anyone wants to speak in French or in Spanish. Anyway, if you want, you can talk in these 3 languages. It doesn´t matter!

So, you can think this question in your head: why has this unknown bastard used  a blog with such name as a title? Oh, okay, you are curious and It is fine, unless you are a cat (because there a Spanish  proverb says: curiosity killed the cat). Okay, I am going to explain it, I swear!

Well, I was thinking a title, a name who can identifies me and I remembered Cassidy song "Time after time". Later, I heard the song and I said: WoW, I consider me like a empty chest. Empty because is full of memories, stars and dreams. And I said like an anime character: I get it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, with this way you know how I was able to create the world...

Yeah, I know, I know, unfortunately, I am a simple man because I only join word with word to create phrases. Therefore, you know a description about myself. Another one will say you: something about me? I am tall, I have strength , I have this car, I work like a...

Holly crap! I questioned you How you are and you answered me with these things?  Excuse me, you are your body, your things and your work but, sincerely, you have forgotten the most important deed: you have mind and a huge heart. If people thought like this way, the world would be better.

Well, I can do anything to fix it because It is the World and It has its stupid rules.

Finally, I finished. I wish you are not dead. Have a nice weekend, buddies!
