Graffiti

As one of the most popular and features today, graffiti urban art expressions is nothing more than a drawing or a painting artwork made in the pairs and the street walls. Thus, the graffiti does not move or sample within intellectual or private art circles, but it is characterized by being exposed publicly so that everyone sees it and enjoy every day. Graffiti is usually anonymous and may have different objectives in regards to the reason for its realization: while some are purely artistic, others are political formulations, others protest and many others are simple messages without major pretensions. 
The word graffiti comes from the Italian and is related to the idea of graphite or graphic expression. One of the most characteristic elements of graffiti is exactly, it is always in graphic and visual way. In general, graffiti does not follow artistic rules more than the same freedom of expression of the author, and that's that while some are really complex and true works of art, others are simple phrases written with some violence on the walls or doors of business. 

It is estimated that the graffiti are always performed by generations younger who are opposed to the conservative and institutionalised world of adults. In this sense, in many countries the graffiti is a crime which is considered dirt or damage to private property. However, in different places, graffiti is already integrated into the urban fabric and is considered to be a real and important form of popular cultural expression. 
Today, graffiti have been reinvigorated in many cities since stencils of great complexity and infinite designs are used to establish ideas or points of view. Some of them are funny, others have an important irony, but everyone does it from the artistic side that must be taken into account more.

The forest exploitation, a problem of the current importance.

Between the uses and expropriation of the forest, the forest exploitation is the one that possesses major potential of alteration of the way. Nevertheless, a forest exploitation practised with criteria of sustainability can favor the biological diversity in the forests.

In Asturias, a specially active group of pressure in the last years is the forest lobby, which defends the legitimate interests of the sector, though using often very questionable arguments. One affirms, for example, that this region needs more wood that has possibilities of industrial consumption and not so much " wood of adornment " as the one that exists in 350.000 protected hectares that the region has. Affecting in this idea of the environmental superprotection, often there are questioned the possibilities of development of the rural way on having been 35 % of the Asturian surface under some figure of protection.

In my more sincere opinion the topic of the forest this exploitation transforming in a problem of big dimensions, and for example here in Verín's region one does not give a great forest exploitation, but in places other places the money this one over the biodiversity and the nature.

The History of the Lamborghini

Terminated the Second World War, Ferruccio Lamborghini, who had served in a transport detachment for the Italian Army, began to buy leftovers from military vehicles to convert them into agricultural machinery.

Such was the success of his new business that in 1960 Lamborghini was already the third Italian industrialist in the field of construction of agricultural machinery, especially tractors. With the profits obtained, Ferruccio began an opulent life, acquiring some properties, and especially many sports cars like Mercedes, Lancia, Maserati and Ferrari.

In the words of the same Lamborghini: "The Ferrari only created problems". "One day, already sick of sending them to the workshop, I called Enzo to tell him that his cars were just garbage." "And he told me that a tractor manufacturer could not understand their cars." From this curious discussion, the angry owner began to engineer the idea of ​​making sports cars to compete with the Cavallino Rampante brand.

Parallel to supercars with a V12 engine, another less powerful and "accessible" model was being developed, such as the Urraco with V8 engine (1972). All these names are Spanish, related to bullfighting, which was Ferruccio's passion. Miura is an ancient breeder of brave bulls; Islero was a famous animal that killed the famous torero Manolete. In general each name is taken from a brave bull "pardoned"; This is that he has been forgiven his life for his bravery and courage (will be destined to stallion) in the fight against the matador, characteristics related to cars, always according to Ferruccio. Hence the coat of arms of the company named "Raging Bull".

Already in the 1990s (when it had an ephemeral appearance in Formula 1) would appear the substitute of Countach; Was the spectacular Lamborghini Diablo (the name Diablo comes from a brave animal of the nineteenth century that was fought by the bullfighter Chicorro), which claimed for itself, as was customary in the models with V12 engine of this brand, the title of car Of the fastest production in the world, surpassing the 320 km / h
