London report

Informal letter

Hello mummy and daddy!

It's been two weeks since I left and I have many things to tell you!
I'm sure you cannot imagine what life here is like... everything is totally different. I work everyday from 9am to 5pm. During all these days I've been able to know many people and the extrem poverty they live in. However, I really enjoy helping all those families and ill people. I trully feel myself useful.
Sometimes we go round the villages and give them some medicines. That's when I realize how poor life is here though the smile in their faces is so satisfactory.
As for me, I've met so many great people from the organisation. In fact, we are thinking of setting off together to R.D Congo as we have five days off!
Hope everything is fine at home, see you soon!

Love,


Blair Waldorf

Apple iPad sells 300,000 on debut

On its launch day in the US, Apple says they sold more than 300,000 of its latest product. The iPad will be available in other countries such as Canada, Australia and some parts of Europe (european prices have not been anounced yet) by the end of April. The first genration model of the product has wi-fi though not 3G connectivity. According to Apple iPad users downloaded more than 250.000 e-books and more than one million applications from its store. On the other hand, taking reports into considerations, queues for the new iPad were quite smaller than the crowds which accumulated for the iPhone's lauch day.

As Steve Jobs said, is iPad going to be a game changer?
The iPad is not a laptop or computer neither a mobile phone. It's just something different. So this is probbably the reason why it is having such a demand.
In my opinion it is going to be a game changer in the way that it is another way to be connected to the net whenever you want. It's not like a laptop which you have to turn on and turn off. The iPad is a new abbility to be always connected. Moreover, its dimensions make it perfect to bring it with you wherever.
Nevertheless, I think it's not going to have such an impact as the iPhone had. From my point of view, people who already bought an iPhone won't be likely to buy an iPad.

New York jets 'directed by a child'

The US officers are looking into how a child was able to direct planes at one of the countrie's busiest airport (New York's JFK). They caught the boy, who was apparently with his father (certified air traffic controller), directing several pilots preparing for take-off by an audiotape (you can listen to it at the bbc webpage). The incident took place on 17 February, when many pupils were on a week-long break. The air traffic controller got the sack and The National Air Traffic Controllers Assosiation said this incident was not indicative of the highest professionals they have.

I cannot understand how that little boy was able to do that. I think it was a terrrible mistake from the father to let him do it. Beeing an air traffic controller is so serious because the life of a huge amount of people depends on you. What would have happened if the kid had said something wrong? I really do not want to imagine! I suppose that man didn't realize how igriveous was that situation. I agree about his dismissal, that behaviour is not acceptable! On the other hand, I guess they were not the only ones there so someone else could have stopped it, though as the audiotape proves, nobody did. All in all, it was just luckily hilarious.

Roger Federer

As you know, I practise tennis. Everyone who practises a spor thas usually a favourite player, and I have to confess that mine is Roger Federer.

Last week it was announced that Roger would has to pull out of the Dubai Championship, which started today, because of a lung infection. He is expected to be out of action for two weeks. If everything goes well, he will return to the courts at Indian Wells in March. Apart from the Dubai's Championship, he won't be able to play the Davis Cup against Spain neither. Everybody was expecting this cup because there would probbably be a match between Roger and Rafa Nadal. However, Rafa won't be able to play it neither because of an injury.
As I said in the beggining, I am a fan of Federer. And what do this involve? This entails that I hate Nadal. I think he's such a proud man, not hansome and show-off. Moreover, he's a suporter of Real Madrid! In my opinion, his game is not as smart as Federer's. I love the elegance of Roger's game.
So, when we go to the Godo's trophy in Barcelona with the tennis club we split up in two groups: the ones who are fans of Rafa and the ones who are not. Then, when we are on the court watching the match ones shout "vamos rafa!" and the others ones (me!) cheer up the other player.
