La reserva más grande
Australia ha creado la reserva marina más grande del mundo, que cubre más de dos millones de kilómetros cuadrados. Esta zona estará protegida del exceso de pesca y de la exploración de gas y petróleo y se añade a las reservas marinas creadas previamente, resultando en un área total de 3.1 millones de kilómetros cuadrados de océano administrado principalmente para la conservación de la biodiversidad. Este es un gran paso para ayudar a la conservación de los océanos.
The greatest reserve
Australia created the largest marine reserve, which covers more than two million square kilometers. This zone will be protected from the excess in fishing and from explorations for gas and oil and will be added to the marine reserves created previously. This will result in a total area of 3.1 million square kilometers of ocean being managed primarily for biodiversity conservation. This is a great step which will help to preserve the oceans.

Tregua
Después de 8 días de hostilidades, cesó el fuego entre israelíes y palestinos. El gobierno de Egipto con el apoyo de la comunidad internacional logró que Israel y la organización palestina Hamas acordaran una tregua, que el mundo espera sea duradera. Esto demuestra que es posible enfrentar los conflictos de manera pacífica usando la vía diplomática.

Como crear balance en tu vida
1. Permítete equivocarte. No seas tan duro contigo mismo. Haz lo que puedas en el día y lo que quede hazlo al día siguiente. Haz lo mejor que puedas siempre. Nadie pide más. Ser padre es un trabajo a tiempo completo en sí mismo.
2. No te sientas culpable por lo que piense la gente. Haz todo lo necesario para hacer el trabajo, pero nunca te pierdas a ti mismo.
3. Busca ayuda cuando la necesites. No trates de hacer todo por tu cuenta. Delega las responsabilidades de las que alguien más puede encargarse
4. Haz cambios cuando tengas que hacerlos para acomodar nuevas ideas.
5. Crea un equipo en el que puedas apoyarte para no dejar cosas a medias.
6. Reduce el estrés. Sal a caminar. Esto te ayudará a liberar estrés y a empezar mejor el día.
7. No pierdas tiempo valioso haciendo cosas que no son productivas.
8. Se positivo. Enfócate en lo bueno y no en lo malo. Cuando tengas un buen día, haz una nota mental de él y ten ese día como tu premisa para crear días mejores.
9. Pasa tiempo a solas. Regálate un tratamiento en un spa, un masaje o simplemente una película. No trabajes excesivamente.
10. Pasa el tiempo a solas con cada hijo si eres padre y tiempo separado con tu pareja. Cada persona necesita su propio tiempo individual contigo para que en la familia haya balance.

1. Give yourself space to mess up. Don't be too hard on yourself. Do what you can for the given day and whatever is left will be done the next day. Do your best always. No one can ask for more. Being a parent is a full time job in itself.
2. Don't feel guilty because of what people think. Do whatever it takes to get the job done, but never lose yourself.
3. Get help when you need it. Don't try to do everything on your own. Delegate any responsibilities that someone else can do.
4. Make changes if you have to in order to accommodate new ideas.
5. Create a team that you can rely on to pick up the slack.
6. Reduce stress. Go for a walk if you have to. This will help to release stress and give you a better start to your day.
7. Don't waste valuable time doing things that are not productive.
8. Be positive. Focus on the good and not the bad. When you have a good day, make a mental note of it and allow this day to be your premise for creating better days.
9. Spend time alone with yourself. Treat yourself to a spa treatment, massage or just a movie. Don't overwork yourself.
10. Spend time separately with each child if you are a parent and separate time with a spouse or partner. Each person needs his or her own individual time with you to create family balance.

Six Short Stories from Tony de Mello
1. The walls that imprison us are mental, not real: A bear was kept for five years in a cage. When finally the cage was taken off, the bear kept walking in the same place, as if it was still in the cage. And it was…to it.
2. Our enemies aren’t the ones that hate us, but those who we hate: An ex prisoner of a concentration camp met a friend that had shared with him this terrible experience. “Have you forgotten the nazi?” he asked to his friend. “Yes”, his friend replied. “Not me. I still hate them with all my soul” he said. His friend said “Then, they still have you as a prisoner”.
3. Most of the times, the flaws we see in others are our own flaws: “Excuse me sir”, said the student shyly, “I can’t understand what you wrote in my last exam.” The teacher replied “I was asking you to write in a more legible way”.
4. The power of fear: The Pest was heading to Damascus and passed in front of the chief of a caravan in the desert. “Where are you going?” the chief asked. “To Damascus, to take 1000 lives”. When the Pest returned from Damascus, the chief said “You have taken 50000 lives instead of the thousand you said”. The pest said “No, I just took a thousand lives, the rest were taken by Fear”.
5. Happiness: An old man said that he had complained just once in his life, when he had no shoes and no money to buy them. Then he saw a happy man without feet. And he never complained again.
6. Diogenes: He was dining lentils when Aristipo, who lived comfortably, told him “If you were submissive to the king, you wouldn’t have to eat lentils”. Diogenes replied “If you had learned to eat lentils, you wouldn’t have to adulate the king.”
