Death of Steve Jobs: Suicide or No?

The question for every person who just find out they have cancer is usually ``Do I treat this? How do I treat this?``
When told he had cancer about a year or so ago Steve Jobs- the mastermind behind the Apple corporation and many other projects,  must have been presented with the same dilema.
Instead of choosing Chemotherapy , radiation, surgery, or any of the other typical forms of treatment available to cacer patients, it appears he had chosen to stick to nonagressive, natural ,and herbal medicines.
It is every persons right what to do with their own body , including wether they want it saved or not.
However after choosig those natural remedies many peopl were also left wondering if this was the right choice.
In my persoa opinion, choosing real treatment so late was the wrong choice to fight his cancer.
Cancer is an aggresive disease that causes many deaths every year and has no real known cure. It needs to be fought aggressivly. I think that Steve Job`s choice of treatment may have helped cause his death.
Choosing another form of medical treatment could have benefitted him ad given him more time. I am however no Doctor, but I am sure that many may have coem to the same conclusion.

A Whole New Libya

Moammar Gadhafi ,Libya`s former leader, was killed last week and there is much debate over how he actually died, and who is responsible.
After being captured last week by rebel forces, alive, with only a gunshot wound to the arm, he was later found dead by gun shot wound to the head.
The question then arises, was this a war crime? Undisclosed by autopsy reports people then wonder, was he killed is crossfire or by close range. According to CNN World News `A `new Libya` Must Probe Gadhafi Death`, the United Nations High Commisioner for Human Rights, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and even U.S. Secretary of State Hilary Clinton are calling for outside investigations on what actually went on with Gadafi`s death.
Now that Libya`s dictator is gone, they are a free country. The new government there have promised early elections and a fast chage to democracy. To be approved for foreign money assistance , however, Libya must prove that they ar commited to human rights. With the mystery surrounding Gadhafi`s death along with many other mysterious deaths brought to light recently  around the country an new begining might prove to be very challenging for them. The answer to how Gadhafi died could hold the key to what the future will look like for Libya.

Spider Man

This movie really marked my past because I was very addicted to super heroes (and I’m still being) and the movie came in a specific time in my life.
Peter Parker was just a photographer when he was minced by a spider, in a museum. After this his life changed a lot, including his body and his psychological aspect. He started to defend New York against the crime and some people really dangerous. He was completely in love for Mary Jane, a beautiful and hard working girl, who put him in danger many times.
Three movies have already been launched with success at the box office, and another one will be launched in 2012.  
I  recommend to those who didn’t see to watch it .
Thanks,

Flash mob


What is a Flash mob?

A flash mob  is a group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual and sometimes seemingly pointless act for a brief time, then disperse, often for the purposes of entertainment, artistic expression or in rare cases violence. Flash mobs are organized via telecommunications, social media, or viral emails.

Is a movement that is already very interesting, unexpected, unusual. Sometimes it's just fun for those watching, sometimes intended to pass something important for society

Yes Man ( Sim senhor)

Jim Carrey in the role of Carl Allen is  a man who says no to everything, never do anything different and  live the same life every day. Then, because of a friend he decides to participate in a self-help program based on a simple principle: say "yes" to everything and anything. At first he is crazy and it turns his life upside down. But soon he begins to realize infinite possibilities to life better than before.
 
This film shows that we can't be pessimistic, we have to create opportunities.After you watch this movie, your life will change for the better!  You will see the world through different eyes. It talks about how you can balance what you want, choose the best for you and for your life.

Flash Mobs

I don’t know what I like most in flash mobs, the beginning, when no one is expecting that something huge is going to happen, or the end, when people pretend that nothing huge has happened at all.
This is a very nice flash mob in Liverpool, it’s a mix of various types of songs and people are much synchronized. It’s impressive, in fact.
