A new free time activity Last Saturday I just found something perfect for me and people who love films: a cinema club! But there we don't only talk about movies that we like, but also we analyze some that we decide, and that was the first day about. It had to be a movie that everyone there had seen, in this case it was "The Empire Strikes Back", which is my favourite movie, and take a look at every scene and shot, taking notes, and exposing them later. It was really interesting and made me appreciate more the movie. The next day we made a debate about a movie that was really polarizing in the group: "Blade Runner", some , as I do think it's a masterpiece, but others believe that was a depressing and slow movie. And, that's another thing really fascinating about films, the thoughs you have on it can be completely different from another person's. But I don't think, they should use these differences to harm another's thoughs, we should just...

Alexandra David-Néel Elle a été une anarchiste, anthropologue, exploratrice, auteure et bouddhiste française et belge. Elle est née au Val de Marne, en France, en 1868. Quand elle était jeune, son père était ami de Élisée Reclus, qui était un géographe anarchiste et il est responsable de l'intérêt d'Alexandra pour l'anarchisme. En 1904, elle s'est marié avec Philippe Néel, un ingénieur de trains, mais ils se séparaient en 1911, quand Alexandra voyageait en Inde. Pendant toute sa vie, elle a pratiqué des techniques de méditation bouddhistes, avec lesquelles elle a su voir et s'entendre avec des esprits. Elle était aussi une amatrice des défis. Par exemple, elle a été deux ans dans une caverne, seulement pour méditer. Elle est morte en 1969, à l'âge de cent ans.

The installation of sonal panels at my school It is a bit obvious that electricity is everywhere, for everything: lights, computers, etc. But, investigating, I found out that, instead of so much electricity as we use in our school, we could use solar panels. The good things are that, obviosly, is a renewable energy source, so there's no chance to waste it. And, also, not only they're useful for the lights, but almost all electricity in the school. But it has some negative points too, for example, the size, they're quite big and transporting them could be a great challenge. Also, is the fact that they have to be in the outside of the facility (because it would be a bit hard, just a bit, to get the solar energy with a roof), so if someone thinks that throwing rocks to the panels is funny, he could do it. At the end, I think they could be really useful, but also using electricity, combining the two I think it would be the best option to save energy in the right size.
