Russia: Anti-Putin protesters plan next move as jailed opponent considers election bid

Navalny, who was marched to his hearing handcuffed to a stout police officer, saw his appeal rejected, and will spend the next week behind bars, serving out a 15-day sentence after he was arrested at last weekend’s protest in Moscow, one of more than 1,000 people detained by police in the capital alone.

There were protests in dozens of Russian cities last Sunday, called by Navalny over allegations of corruption against prime minister Dmitry Medvedev.

They were the biggest since a wave of protests in 2011 and 2012, and for the first time since that wave was crushed there is an air of uncertainty on the Russian political scene.

Putin is widely expected to win another six-year term, which would take him to 2024 and almost a quarter-century of rule over Russia.

Germany: Giant gold coin with Queen's head stolen from Berlin museum

A Canadian gold coin named “Big Maple Leaf” and bearing the image of Queen Elizabeth II was stolen from Berlin’s Bode Museum early on Monday.

The coin is pure gold, weighs about 100kg (221lb) and has a face value of C$1m (£590,000).

Police said it was probably stolen by a group of thieves who entered the museum undetected through a window, possibly with a ladder.

Absolute location

navigators use lines of latitude and lines of longitude to locate places. Lines of latitude run east and west. Lines of longitude run north and south around the world. These lines create an imaginary graph paper on the Earth. They make it possible to find an exact point, even in the middle of the ocean.
Latitud lines tell us how far we are from the Equator, and longitude lines tell us how far east or west we are from prime meridian.
Many maps today include degrees of latitude and longitude.

Doctors worry about post-antibiotic future

We are entering a time that common infections caused by bacteria will be deadly. Why? Antibiotics we have now a days are insuficient to fight a rising number of drug-resistant bacterias

When a bacteria cannot be killed with some antibiotic means it has become drug-resistant, and we have to use stronger antibiotics. Once they develop that ability they can pass it on so other bacteria can become drug-resistant as well.
Now, hospitals and doctors are being careful not to overuse antibiotics, and patients have to take antibiotics as prescribed.

The US scientists are looking for new antibiotics but is a slow process so we have to be careful with drugs

A girl like you

I've never known a girl like you before
Now, just like in a song from days of yore
Here you come a-knocking, knocking on my door
And I've never met a girl like you before

You give me just a taste so I want more
Now my hands are bleeding and my knees are raw
'Cause now you got me crawling, crawling on the floor
And I've never known a girl like you before

You made me acknowledge the devil in me
I hope to God I'm talking metaphorically
Hope that I'm talking alegorically
Know that I'm talking about the way I feel
And I've never known a girl like you before
Never, never, never, never
Never known a girl like you before

This old town's changed so much
Don't feel that I belong
Too many protest singers
Not enough protest songs
And now you've come along
Yes, you've come along
And I've never met a girl like you before

My likes and Dislikes

Cochinita pibil is the best, I love it, but I can't say the same of liver of any animal, I hate it´s flavor.

Also I like to play videogames, I play at least 10 hours per week. I don´t like running, when I was about six years old I started running with my mom, and I inmediatly didn't like it perhaps because of the cold wind in my face or  the little rocks inside my shoe.

I definitly don´t like reggaeton music and not because of the rithmn, is all about the disgusting lyrics, I believe in expression freedom, but this is too much.

'Cause not all in this world is hate, I can say I like silence and not crowded places, or just listen to music and forget anything else.
