We are back!

     There has been a long time that we cannot write here.

     We're sincerely sorry, to end high school and started college was not an easy task. There are many changes in our lives, and the process of adaptation was laborious, of course. But I'm glad to announce that we have come back!

     We will post an entry every Friday with different kind of things we hope you enjoy.

Thanks for reading.

    Subiremos una entrada cada viernes con contenido diverso que esperamos disfrutéis.

Gracias por leernos.

Should obese people pay extra money to solve their health problems?

Obesity and overweight are common in our days, should people who suffer it pay more than those who not?

 For it, we have the statement of phobia generated by obese people (a phenomenon explained by Richard Conniff to Men'sHealth in October 2010 under the name of "I hate fat people"), the main prejudices against fat people help to have a misconception of these health problems. In this hand, we also have that we eat less than in 1976 but more saturated fats as George Monbiot said for The Guardian this August. These arguments oust the common believing that eat more increase obesity.                                                                                Against, we have the study made by the Medical Journal of Australia, who has calculated the medical cost of overweight and obesity. The results reveal that most of the participants were over their "ideal" weight, with only a 24.7% of normal-BMI (Body Mass Index) people, and also reveals an annual cost of $2100 in 2005 per person. Those costs involve a great rise in government subsidies. The highest care costs are for obese and overweighted people with a reduction of 30% lower for those people who lost weight than for those who remained sick in this country( 2005).

In my opinion, the cost implicit on being obese or overweighted and the health problems supply the extra money, for me, they should pay as normal-weighted people does and everybody has to be aware at this subject which affects nowadays all of our countries.

Banalidades

Sé que no escribo desde hace bastante y he de decir que no lo siento, he tenido un bloqueo muy grande junto a un cúmulo de cosas que me han minado bastante el ánimo. Estoy intentando con esto dar una explicación a por qué no hay casi noticias por aquí, una explicación y no una disculpa.

También vengo a deciros que intentaré estar a partir de ahora más activo y que por este lugar va a haber cambios, pero eso será sorpresa.

Muchas gracias a todos los que nos leen.


------------------------------------

I know that I don't write since a few time ago and I have to say that I don't have any kind of sorrow, I was having an enormous art block and a whole shebang of things which was undermining my moral. With those words, I'm trying to explain why here doesn't was any kind of news, an explanation not an apology.

  I'm here to say too that I'll try to be more active and here we will have changes, but this changes will be a surprise.

Thanks to everyone who read us.

Un desastre, pero melómana

Hoy no vengo a hablaros de música, vengo a deciros Feliz Año con un retraso que supera al de cualquiera. Sí, soy un desastre, como digo claramente en el título, pero es que sabéis que cuando uno está de vacaciones todo es un descontrol.
En resumen, espero que todos tengáis un año con nuevas metas que lograr, superar las que no conseguisteis el año anterior y, sobre todo, lleno de felicidad. Así os lo deseamos desde el blog, más concretamente yo, Basslady, que aunque pasen los años seguirá siendo así de despistada.

Y no me puedo ir sin recomendaros algo, así que os dejo el enlace de un album que, después de bastante tiempo, he retomado y cada vez me gusta más. Ya sé que hay gente que el rap no le gusta, pero no podemos adaptarnos a todos los gustos a la vez. Así que a los que os guste este género, hoy podéis disfrutar escuchando a Eminem en Relapse.

¿Sólo hay música clásica?

Cuando empecé a escribir le dije a Verba Vetera que escribiría sólo sobre la música clásica, pero he pensado: "¿Por qué no dedicar mis post a la música en general?" Y sí, he decidido que, a partir de hoy, no sólo os hablaré de Beethoven o Mozart, también de pop, indie, géneros que os sonarán más. Además, también he tomado la decisión de recomendaros todos los sábados, por iniciativa propia, compartir con vosotros una recmendación musical. Siendo así tantas novedades voy a comenzar recomendando para este fin de semana la canción The Logical Song de grupo Supertramp.

Podéis escucharla en Spotify a través de este enlace:

https://open.spotify.com/track/0ZlUHXpiQeqRYprnycLwhh

También, si preferís, a través de YouTube (el vídeo arriba).

When I started writing, I told Verba Vetera that I would write only about classical music, but I thought: "Why not dedicate my post to music in general?" And yes, I have decided that, starting today, not only I will talk about Beethoven or Mozart, also pop, indie, genres that will sound more.In addition, I have also made the decision to recommend you every Saturday, on my own initiative, to share with you a musical recmendation. Today I'm recommending for this weekend the song The Logical Song of Supertramp group.

You can listen to it on Spotify through this link:
