Memory transplant
It scares how fast the science and medicine is advancing. A recent study by some neurobiologist shows that it is possible to transplant the memory from the nervous system of one snail to another one.
To prove that the memory transplant was successful, they "trained" the first snail by giving him little electrical shocks. After repeating the same procedure over a over the snail started to react to the electric shocks by contracting himself. That help the snails to protect themselves from the harm. Once the snail learned how to react against the electric shock the researchers extracted the RNA from that snail and transplanted it to another snail.After that the second snail presented the same behavior from the first electric shock.
The researchers said that this is a great advance to alliviate the effects of diseases like Alzheimer or post traumatic stress disorder. This kind of experiments seem from a science fiction film; while i was writing this i was imagining myself being transplanted a memory of a polyglot... Meanwhile I will keep writing my daily journals to improve my English. See you tomorrow Italki community!

Sexism from Argentine Football Association
Today, once more I'll speak about an article from BBC news website.
The world cup is going to start soon and it's on everyone lips; but it is not the only new which is on everyone lips. An Argentine journalist showed on twitter one chapter from a manual given by the AFA ( Argentine Football Asocciation ) while he was attending one of their free courses. In the picture it could be read something like "how to stand a chance with a Russian girl".
It was a disgusting document which describes different "tips" to flirt with Russian womens. This is part of the written document. "Normally, Russian women care about the important things but of course you'll also find those who just care about material things, money or whether you're handsome, you name it. But don't worry, there are many beautiful women in Russia and not all are for you. Be selective!"
It is a shame that still in 2018 people with that way of thinking exists. What kind of journalist needs that kind of information to write about sport? The society of most of the countries is still sexist, and they still need a lot of time to heal themselves. I think that the person who wrote that should resign immediately.
What do you think about it? Do you think that there is also sexim in sport field? Have you ever felt it?
Remember to treat all the people like you would like them to treat you.

Budapest and the mining legacy
Today one more time i went to BBC news webpage and i read an article about Budapest and his history related to mining.
Like the article says from the Middle Ages to the second half of 19th Century there has been a long mining tradition in Budapest.This is how is reflected in the architecture of the city; there are a lot of buildings made of limestone, wich is the rock that local miners used to extract.
Over the years the chambers and wells had flooded. After that, in the last century, the gobernment asked some local divers to clean up underwater areas. The local divers found incredible chambers for diving. The dive sites are only accesible for people who has the Open Water Diver certificatión; for some of then you need even a higher certification.
After the mining works ended, some breweries used the non flooded cellar system, because that was a nice place for the fermentation and to extract fresh water.

Walking benefits
Theese last days i've been writing about my daily life but i find it quite boring. From today I will write about any new I read on the internet. I have opened the CNN news website and i found an article about the walking benefits. I haven't chosen nothing related to the lastests new beacuse i still haven't enough level to understand and write about.
The article speaks about the point of view of various specialist about if is walking daily enough to get life-saving benefits . Most of the people know that making exercise lengthens life , but con walking be considered as exersercise?
Maybe it isn't the perfect exercise, but it's still better than lead a sedentary life. Today's life style doesn't let us too much time to practice exercise, but there are ways to force you to at least walk a bit. For example, instead of taking the elevator you can go upstairs. One time i read in a book the idea of at least walk daily 10k steps. It isn't too much exercise but is a little goal to force yourself to start exercising.

Sunday 13th May
I'm looking for some english grammar books to work with, can someone recommend me anyone?
Here a brief resume of the day. One more time i woke up too late, almost 12 p.m. I made the breakfast for me and Miren. Toasts, omelette , pineapple and strawberries :). Later i had a phone call from my friend Iñigo to meet him and take a coffee .
After the coffee we came back home for lunch. We ate a fresh salad made of tomato , canons , tuna , boiled egg, olives... It was great! While we were eating we saw the last episode of "Dear White People". Now we will have to wait for the 3rd season :( .
While i'm writing this i'm being conscious of the amount of times that i have to search for words in the translator. I hope that these daily writings help me improving .

May 12th
You can't imagine how well i have slept! I have just woken up, and i came straight to grab my macbook and start writing. Today i don't want to let my english exercise for the last minute. Apart from writing the journal i'm going to buy a grammar book, i think that it will reinforce my english skills.
The weather is awful then there is not so much to do outside. At 2 p.m we are going to visit my mom and dad and we are going to lunch with them; it's always a pleasure to go lunch to my mom's house , she's a great cook.
After that i should come back home and work a bit on my app developing projects, but i should also go to the new house we bought recently and paint the door and the door frames. This last task is what i least like.
Have fun this weekend on whatever you do guys, see you soon!

Friday, May 11
Yesterday i did the last night shift of the week. At least i don't work on Friday nights. Friday night usually is our pizza and Netflix day; maybe it isn't the healthiest plan but it is the most enjoyable for us. We are discussing what serie we are going to see, we still have 3 episodes pending from "Dear White People".
The journal of today is going to be shorter than planned, because i have lost my willpower elsewhere. Weekend mood in 3,2,1..

Job Fair
Today i have been in a job fair for first time. It has been an exahusting experience, mainly because i have been working the night shift and i have slept just for 3 hours more or less.
At the start of the event i was quite nervous, the place was full of stands with recruiters waiting for us. After some minutes inspecting the place a recruiter came to me to ask me about my field of work. Once we have spoken for about 5 minutes i have had 4 different interviews.
Not all them have been satifactory but my general feeling has been quite good. Maybe the worst one has been that one in wich the recruiter made me speak in english. Im aware of the importance of speaking good english nowadays and that's why i'm making a study plan to improve my english. The first step is to write on iTalki regularly. I also should find someone to practice the speaking.
Thanks in advance to the people who spent their time reviewing theese notebokes! If someone needs help with his Spanish just let me know!

Today i feel quite better and ready to start working on my webpage. I`m making a webpage to show the readers resources like this (italki) to learn languages. Yesterday i ordered a logo for my webpage, and the template it's ready. If i get the logo soon i`ll put it online this week or the next week. I`ll let you know.
How about you guys? Apart of the corrections that you make me, feel free to answer (in spanish or english, as you wish) and interact in my writtings telling me about your life or anything you want.
Have a nice day and be careful with the sneezes!

what's up!!
Hi all there!
I'm back again, i know that has passed long time since the last time i wrote. Probably I am the most inconstant student in the world. I love learning english but i have to admit that I am quite lazy. My purpouse for the future is learning languages.
At least I finished my exams and I have free time to do what i want. I still have some pending matters as(like??) work on a webpage, restart the gym, finish the move ( mudanza in spanish, it's the moving or the move?)...
I started taking english clases on mondays, it's just a hour and a half, but it should be enough if I work by myself at home. I`ll exam of B2 in June, I hope to be ready in the precise momment.
If anyone is interested in exchange Spanish/English write me, it will be a pleasure! See you soon
