http://www.cataloniatoday.cat/article/955352-origins-and-evolution.html

For to know and understand where we come from and how we have arrived to what we are, Cosmocaixa in Barcelona, propose to us an interesting exhibition about the evolution of human beings.

That exhibition is base don the archaeological and paleontological explorations of Olduvai Gorge in The Ngorongoro reserve in Tanzania (Africa), considered a key point of time in understanding the origin of our ancestors.  For a long time it was thought that the origin of humanity was in Europe, today the thesis of our African origin is almost unanimously accepted.

For visit the exhibition also you have a mobile application with audio guide in four languages.

You can visit until next january.

I love cosmocaixa and its exhibitions, because they are clear and provide us much information. I would like to visit this exhibition, considering that we went in Burgos for this, but I don't have time to go there.

Catalonia Today propse to the readers and subscribers, visit during three days, three iconic English destinations.

Travel to United Kindon on a trip in the cities of London, Oxford and  Stratford upon Avon.  That travel it’s for commemorating the 400th aniversary of the death for the famous Willian Shakespeare.

The group will be accompanied by a guide at all time.  In London, the first day, they will visit one of the world’s great capital cities, then the second day the group will be off to Oxford to visit the famous universities colleges and their medieval architecture; and in the last day, they propose to visit Stratfor upon Avon, for the full Shakespeare experience, visiting the most prestigious theatre companies, the Royal Shakespeare Company, then visiting the house where he was born and stop in one of the famous old pubs in the city.

Very interesting three days! Shakespeare is one of the most famous authors, so it would be very interesting do this route. I think that is an amazing idea do this types of trips because it's an incredible form to learn about our past. 

I CAN'T GET IT OUT OF MY HEAD
http://www.cataloniatoday.cat/article/933990-i-cant-get-it-out-of-my-head.html

This article speaks about how come to  be the radio important for  a  band.  Albert Planadevall tell us how the radio continue top lay an important role where music and tv series are concerned.  The radio is the most likely place to first hear a band.  For example, in an episode of the series Grey’s Anatomy, first broadcast in 2006, the song How to Save a Life by The Fray appeared.  The supervisor had seen the band in Los Angeles and decided to use their music for the soundtrack  of the popular series, it was an immediate success and How to Save A Life quickly became the oficial anthem for the series.

In less tan 10 years, things have progressed quickly and now you can buy a lot of compilations about the tv series.

So many bands that were totally unknown now have popularity,  and can continue producing while leaving new bands, because the opportunities are not just in the concerts, because  the band can be famous in  a film or series TV.

For be sincerely i think that we don't appreciate this type of band that do the soundtracks of our favorites series and films. They are not well-know, and I think they should be it. 

THE POLITICS OF TELEVITION

http://www.cataloniatoday.cat/article/863574-the-politics-of-television.html

The article speaks about the politicals likes in television. Obama, the USA president likes a lot television series and he’s a fan of Breaking Bad, and also of Homeland, Game of Thrones, Mad Men, House of Cards and The Wire and Broadwalk Empire.

When they speak about the Catalan political, the think is diferent.  The ex president of Catalonia, Artur Mas, says he hasn’t enough time to watch so much televison, the others ministers says like Artur Mas, they prefer to spend their time in their  hobbies.  Alicia Sánchez Camacho, the PP leader, is hooked in El Ministerio del Tiempo, a Spanish serie, and some of the others political likes House of the Cards, which tells the story of congressman Frank Underwood who will do anything, and I mean anything, to get to the White House.

I Think we know that a person as important as Obama has the same tastes as you in terms of television, creates a social bond making the difference between he and I decrease.

WHAT TO DO WITH THE BORN CULTURAL CENTRE?http://www.cataloniatoday.cat/article/941099-what-to-do-with-the-born-cultural-centre.html
This article speaks about that El Born Centre Cultura is commemorating the fall of Barcelona to Felipe V's troops in 1714,  in which Catalonia lost its ancestral rights.

But city council has decided to review its use. The results of the exposition will be made public some time this month.

The archaeological are spectacular, historically vital and superbly presented.  “The permanent display will be absolutely respected,” said Sureda, the heads Barcelona council's culture department.

I think that this type of exhibition of El Born do it's very well because we must never forget our past and this can't be deleted.

http://elitedaily.com/news/politics/obama-macklemore-drug-addiction-america/1493946/

This article of elite daily speaks about that overdoses of drugs kill more Americans than traffic accidents, and to stop that, obama received the visit of Macklemore, because he abused drugs and now he want to help people in this tragic situation, and they did a video. Macklemore said: I take this personally. I abused prescription drugs and I battled addiction. If I hadn’t gotten the help that I needed when I needed it, I definitely would not be here today. And I want to help others facing the same challenges that I did.
Also Macklemore shared a tragic story of his own live. The article says that the Congress passed laws to help addicts but theses are not enough, and the first step to solve this for all of us is to start conversations about addiction and help remove the stigma, said Obama.

The drugs are a global issue, because affect all of us, and we have to solve it.  I think that there are many adolescents who abuse drugs and they even not realize of this.
