Contradicting one of the most famous literary outbursts there are those who want to remember not only a place We are talking about the exhibition Alma de cántaro Cacharrería y oficios alfareros desde tiempos de Cervantes recently inaugurated at the Museo Casa Natal de Cervantes (Calle Mayor What were then no more than everyday objects such as pitchers alcoves and corrals today acquire another meaning They are a material testimony of a way of life that has left “a cultural legacy and a very defined aesthetic of great social and human value” thanks to the role of the women singers or the collective ovens which articulated the activity of the neighborhood The exhibition opened last March 25 and will be open until September 21 The last access is half an hour before closing time Today, 15 October is the International Day of Rural Women. In Spain, the Coordinadora Estatal Stop Ganadería Industrial (state committee against industrial farming) has also chosen this day to protest against a farming model that is harmful to people, animals and the planet we often have a false image of rural people cooking and going about their daily chores with little impetus to change their situation We typically associate social groups and activists with cities.  That’s why, on this day, at Greenpeace Spain we’re joining with rural women to make their voices heard. Here are the stories of three of the many women who are collaborating to organise meetings and demonstrations against industrial farming across the country today Remedios is a member of the neighbourhood platform Pueblo Sostenible de Mota del Cuervo and president of the Pueblos Vivos Cuenca association Here’s what moved her to take action:  I knew the shit was going to reach my doorstep I knew I had to fight against its installation I didn’t care if the City Council said it complied with the law I help other towns with similar problems.” Pilar is a member of the Loporzano Platform a local movement resisting factory farming Montse is part of the Auga Limpa Xa community group working to protect their environment and waterways and it makes me sad to see the state of the waters of As Conchas reservoir but because of a business ambition that knows no law and the ineptitude of administrations that can’t or won’t manage the resources in rural areas There's an ongoing ecological disaster in Spain: Mar Menor has turned into toxic green soup.@greenpeace_esp decided to join the court case. 'This ecocide cannot go unpunished and the alleged culprits must be held accountable.'#SOSMarMenor https://t.co/SD7P1dUYba All women agree the coordinated work of the Coordinadora Estatal Stop Ganadería Industrial is crucial.  “The Coordinadora Estatal is essential The cities must hear what is happening in rural areas The role of the committee is to inform the cities We must understand that what we eat in the cities comes from a country area,” says Montse.  “Big companies run the industrial farming industry all neighbourhood movements and associations aware of the environmental damage of this model must coordinate efforts and work together; this is David against Goliath and society will hear our demands,” explains Pilar.  the Coordinadora “is a network that started from the ground but must reach high; thus union and coordination are vital because we have to fight locally to become global and because belonging to a group makes us stronger.” Lorea Flores is the mobilisation coordinator for Greenpeace Spain in Euskadi and Navarra She holds a masters in Biodiversity and Ecosystem Management and a doctorate in River Ecology.  You can read the full story in Spanish on the Greenpeace Spain website A firefighter describes the horror of witnessing the Amazon being consumed by wildfires What happens when the world’s biggest meat company brands itself as a climate saviour a mega-corporation making billions while its supply chain sets the Amazon on fire Meat giant JBS was forced to temporarily halt its annual shareholder meeting following interruptions by Greenpeace Brazil activists Please select which cookies you are willing to store These cookies are required for technical reasons so that you can visit our website and use the functions we offer These cookies are used to recognise you between successive visits and thus provide you with a better experience storing your consent preferences and the last Greenpeace.org website visited We use tracking and analysis tools to ensure continuous optimisation and demand-oriented design of our website These cookies will allow us to collect statistical and anonymised data such as how visitors use our website or which pages are accessed most frequently to ultimately improve Greenpeace.org and provide you with a better experience of our website In addition to the Performance cookies mentioned above we may also place in your browser cookies from third-party services (e.g Facebook or Google) to track the effectiveness of our online marketing strategies and to deliver adverts more relevant to you and your interests These cookies may also be used to serve advertising to you after you have left our site (retargeting cookies) Here are the cases of five people from around Europe -- four who died from COVID-19 and one doctor whose suicide was a 'ricochet' from the outbreak Diego Blanco died at home on March 13 in Italy he worked at the biggest hospital in Bergamo He tested positive for coronavirus at the start of March and self-isolated but his health did not initially give cause for alarm The day before he died he said to his wife "You reckon you're about to die?" she asked him "Don't do that to me." Then she left the bedroom When Maruska returned two hours later to check on him it was "too late" Her husband had died of a sudden respiratory crisis and fever Paramedics then tried to intubate him after they arrived "but there was nothing that could be done for him" "Helping other people was a mission for him," said Maruska The family is one of the first to have received an 20,000 annual state benefit payout for victims of work accidents Diego Blanco didn't smoke or drink and had no health problems "I never would have believed it," said Maruska who tried to console herself with the fact that other coronavirus patients often die alone because the disease is so infectious she became France's youngest COVID-19 fatality "We'll never know why," the high school student's mother Sabine told AFP At first they treated the cough with syrup and steam inhalation treatments but a couple of days later she began feeling tightness in her lungs who called the emergency services They then took her to hospital in Longjumeau in the Essonne department south of Paris She had a lung scan but doctors said that there was "nothing serious" Yet later that night Julie was again fighting for breath and she was taken to the Necker children's hospital in Paris By Tuesday when she was admitted to intensive care Julie was complaining that "my heart hurts" Sabine said good night to her daughter and went home the hospital called: one of the COVID-19 tests was in fact positive "From the beginning they told us this virus doesn't affect young people just like everyone else," said Julie's older sister Manon is among the younger victims of COVID-19 in Britain reportedly succumbing despite being fit and healthy last week after self-isolating and not seeking medical care He was found in bed by a neighbour who had been asked to check on him according to his girlfriend Donna Cuthbert "I just can't bear the thought he was all alone," she told local media outlet North Wales Live Galley had developed symptoms -- first a slight cough But he declined to call the state-run health service's helpline because he did not want to divert resources away from more vulnerable people British health authorities have told people who develop apparent novel coronavirus symptoms to self-isolate for a week and only seek medical attention if their condition deteriorates markedly "Tim followed the guidelines and took the precautions but still somehow this cruel cruel virus we think took him," Cuthbert wrote in a distraught post on Facebook It attracted hundreds of tributes to Galley described him as her "beloved best friend" and "soul mate" "My heart is broken into shattered pieces and my kids are truly devastated," she added Sara Bravo Lopez was a young doctor in a small town in central Spain which is not normal," said a spokesman for the Mancha Centro de Alcazar de San Juan hospital Sara cared for patients in Mota del Cuervo a town of 6,000 people between Madrid and Valencia "She was very well liked by her neighbours in the village and by her colleagues at the health centre," the hospital spokesman told AFP her remarkable engagement with people and her professional attitude in dealing with patients" The medical colleges of Toledo and Ciudad Real sent "condolences" and "regrets" by Twitter Sara was one of 12,000 health workers who have caught COVID-19 in Spain where personnel are urgently calling for more intensive care beds and for protective equipment to battle the disease In Poland the outbreak's impact has so far been limited but coronavirus can also kill by ricochet: for example the suicide of a respected doctor who caught the disease and received hate mail accusing him of infecting others the director of a gynaecological clinic attached to a hospital in the central city of Kielce had just returned from a trip to Switzerland in mid-March when he noticed he had coronavirus symptoms He self-isolated and his health seemed to be good Both the hospital and regional authorities said he'd had no contact with patients or staff four nurses at the infectious diseases clinic where he was tested were also placed in quarantine One report said -- without giving his name -- that before going to be checked  he went to a car salesroom A wave of hateful comments followed on the internet The hospital announced his death on March 18 saying only that it was not "directly" linked to COVID-19 It later emerged that he had committed suicide His family said it was triggered by the online accusations and said they would take legal action Spain’s diverse landscape means it’s always a great time for a road trip adventure and explore the northern sights in the summer check out these 10 top ideas for road trips in Spain Want to explore all the exciting things Spain has to offer but on a tight budget There are hundreds of incredible deals and discounts to be found on the website The Ruta Vía de la Plata is the equivalent of the Americans’ Route 66 to the Spanish. If you haven’t done this route already, it’s definitely worth it. The Ruta de la Plata is almost 800km long making it one of the longest highways in Spain Meaning ‘route of silver’ in English, it owes its name to the road constructed by the Romans between Mérida (Extremadura) and Astorga (León) which now joins Seville in the south to Gijón in the north This road trip is a fantastic way to discover the beauty of Spain’s western region from top to bottom From Carballo (La Coruña) to the Cape Finisterre Lighthouse, the Costa da Morte (Galcian for Coast of Death) is one of the most beautiful routes for a road trip in northern Spain It derives its name from the danger of its steep and rocky cliffs to those on land and at sea Before, many fishermen lost their lives out at sea and many boats were destroyed the route is lined with dozens of lighthouses built in the 19th century to guide boats A great number of these lighthouses have been preserved. They’re popular among tourists, particularly those at Cabo Vilán or Finisterre — one of the most visited due to its name, which means ‘where the land ends’.

Debido a las circunstancias a las que obliga el confinamiento por la pandemia de Covid-19 los vecinos de Santa Cristina de la Polvorosa no han podido acudir a decir el último adiós a la joven «La despedida ha sido muy triste porque el número de personas que podían ir al entierro era limitado y en este caso hubiera acudido todo el pueblo en masa» Es una familia muy conocida e incluso un primo de la joven es concejal del equipo de Gobierno en el Ayuntamiento donde las banderas ondean a media asta en señal de luto Era una joven muy abierta y que se relacionaba con la gente de la localidad por lo que era apreciada por sus habitantes El Ayuntamiento quiere rendir un homenaje a la joven más adelante como reconocimiento a su labor y dedicación a la medicina que murió trabajando por todos

suscriptores Blog: extraescolares, por si acaso Las extraescolares mejoran la autoestima de los ni�os Aumentan los casos de depresi�n infantil asociados con el estr�s Superada la vuelta al 'cole' llega el momento de planificar el a�o acad�mico y las rutinas de los peque�os de la casa Seg�n el Instituto Nacional de Calidad y Evaluaci�n (INCE) m�s del 70% de los alumnos de Primaria y m�s del 60% de los de Secundaria realizan alguna actividad extraescolar La oferta es enorme y muchos padres se preguntan cu�l es la que m�s conviene a sus hijos y si no estar�n satur�ndoles con unas agendas casi tan apretadas como las suyas Las actividades extraescolares aportan numerosos beneficios en la personalidad del ni�o y suponen una gran oportunidad para que desarrollen habilidades en las que no se incide en el colegio "Lo m�s importante es que contribuyen a mejorar la autoestima y un autoconcepto positivo en el ni�o" psicopedagoga y neuropsic�loga infantil de ISEP Cl�nic Madrid a la hora de escoger es fundamental sentarse con los peque�os y tener en cuenta sus preferencias "Es muy importante que el ni�o se sienta vinculado con lo que est� haciendo las extraescolares no deben plantearse como una prolongaci�n del 'cole' sino como unas tareas a las que se ha comprometido y a las que va contento" A la hora de escoger el primer problema que se plantea es qu� actividad elegir La oferta es enorme y muchos colegios se esfuerzan por incluir novedades en su calendario "Lamentablemente en muchos centros se siguen impartiendo las mismas actividades que hace 20 a�os" empresa especializada en este tipo de actividades "Curiosamente son los colegios p�blicos los m�s innovadores en este sentido ya que las actividades se programan a trav�s de la AMPA y los padres incorporan actividades en las que los ni�os puedan desarrollar capacidades que ahora mismo se necesitan en el mercado laboral y el desarrollo integral de los ni�os como rob�tica las extraescolares se pueden clasificar en deportivas (f�tbol Cada grupo presenta unos beneficios distintos y es importante elegir en funci�n de aquello que sea m�s adecuado para nuestro hijo Las actividades deportivas favorecen la concentraci�n promueven un estilo de vida saludable y repercuten de forma beneficiosa en los procesos de aprendizaje "Los ni�os desarrollan valores como el esp�ritu de superaci�n el autocontrol y la tolerancia a la frustraci�n" En el Colegio �gora Sant Cugat de Barcelona las actividades deportivas son las m�s populares de su amplio cat�logo "En los deportes de equipo se fomentan muchos valores y se ayuda a superar la timidez jefe del departamento de Actividades Extraescolares en las actividades de tipo acad�mico se apoya a los ni�os con problemas de aprendizaje y se refuerza lo estudiado en clase los alumnos con ganas de saber cosas nuevas sacian su curiosidad y obtienen mejores resultados en todas las materias ya que se refuerza lo aprendido en el aula de forma l�dica Mientras que en las de tipo art�stico se potencian las destrezas manuales y la motricidad y se favorece la expresi�n de sentimientos "Los alumnos que se decantan por actividades musicales consiguen mejores resultados en el �rea de matem�ticas ya que contribuyen al desarrollo de la creatividad e imaginaci�n" Precisamente alrededor de las actividades art�sticas y creativas nace Semilla un espacio creativo infantil que cuenta entre sus socios con el DJ y productor musical Carlos Jean "En cuanto surgi� la oportunidad de involucrarme en este proyecto no lo dud� La educaci�n en nuestro pa�s deber�a ser tan importante como el himno o la bandera y no moneda de cambio entre gobernantes" "Cuando oigo que los ni�os ya no tienen tanta imaginaci�n como antes no me lo puedo creer Lo que ocurre es que hemos dejado de estimularles" En esta escuela se �huye� de lo tecnol�gico para volver al juego a lo manual y a las actividades "de siempre" "En nuestra ludoteca propusimos jugar al juego de la oca Lo primero que me sorprendi� es que ninguno de los ni�os lo ten�a en casa ni lo conoc�a el simple hecho de tener que tirar los dados ya les entusiasm�" Para Jean lo art�stico y en particular la m�sica deber�an tener un papel decisivo en nuestro sistema educativo �La m�sica es importante no para ser un buen m�sico sino para ser una buena persona� Para sus hijos se decant� por el modelo de ense�anza anglosaj�n por la importancia que tiene la creatividad en su programa los ni�os dejan de querer practicar una u otra actividad Muchos padres se preguntan si deben forzarles a ir hay que animarle a que contin�e alg�n tiempo m�s para que se adapte Si el deseo de abandonar la actividad se da a mitad de curso lo m�s habitual es que haya "un problema de fondo" por lo que hay que indagar en el percance que ha tenido nuestro hijo "Es b�sico escuchar al ni�o para ver c�mo se ha generado el problema Si le forzamos a ir estaremos creando una situaci�n de estr�s justo lo contrario a lo que se busca con estas actividades" rematan el d�a con lecciones en el conservatorio Jornadas maratonianas que tienen consecuencias 'Se ha detectado un aumento significativo de los casos de estr�s y depresi�n infantil y una de las principales causas es la sobrecarga que soportan los ni�os cuando en sus horarios desaparece el tiempo para jugar' los expertos recomiendan que los 'peques' realicen un m�ximo de dos actividades (normalmente una deportiva y otra acad�mica o art�stica) repartidas en tres d�as a la semana Los ni�os aprenden fotograf�a a�rea y producci�n de v�deos de alta calidad as� como otras
