Random thoughts from an unconventional Spaniard in the States

.

Endless night

"Where has the starlight gone?
Dark is the day
How can I find my way home?

[...]

Home is an empty dream
Lost to the night
Father, I feel so alone

[...]

When will the dawning break
Oh endless night
Sleepless I dream of the day..."



"I know that the night must end
I know that the sun will rise
And that the clouds must clear
And that the sun will shine
Yes, I know
The sun will rise"

A mathematical theory of love

Found at xkcd

Unknown roots. Unknown cause. Does it change or does it remain constant? Unknown identity. Unknown time-frequency properties. Anything but normal. Sounds kind of complex, doesn’t it ? ;-)

La mala educacion

He aquí la provocación:
Título III. Capítulo segundo. Articulo 48.
El servicio de la cultura es atribución esencial del Estado, y lo prestará mediante instituciones educativas enlazadas por el sistema de la escuela unificada.
La enseñanza primaria será gratuita y obligatoria.
Los maestros, profesores y catedráticos de la enseñanza oficial son funcionarios públicos. La libertad de cátedra queda reconocida y garantizada.
La República legislará en el sentido de facilitar a los españoles económicamente necesitados el acceso a todos los grados de enseñanza, a fin de que no se halle condicionado más que por la aptitud y la vocación.
La enseñanza será laica, hará del trabajo el eje de su actividad metodológica y se inspirará en ideales de solidaridad humana.
Se reconoce a las Iglesias el derecho, sujeto a inspección del Estado, de enseñar sus respectivas doctrinas en sus propios establecimientos.
Constitución de la República Española de 1931
Y he aquí la respuesta:
"Que la ira de Dios caiga sobre España si la República persevera"
Cardenal Pedro Segura, 1931.
Aunque parezca mentira, 77 años más tarde la batalla continúa (y continúa).
Feliz día de la República.

Facebooked

I received this video a few minutes ago, precisely through Facebook, and it simply made me laugh. Dedicated to all of you out there who are "Facebook social butterflies" ;-)



p.s. Un abrazo para el responsable de los subtítulos en español. El "hiba" y el "quize" me han llegado al alma.

JHU Passion

I must confess that it feels kind of weird to see a tv commercial for your own university. I don't remember having this experience ever before. Still, I like it: I find it simple, effective and rather cool in general terms. Also, I like the choice of the word ‘passion’ for its motto, since it is truly passion above all which moves many of us... and that’s why we’re here! ;-)

Of dreams and men

“We cannot be satisfied as long as a Negro in Mississippi cannot vote and a Negro in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote.”

Forty years ago, on a day like today, a man was killed. His dream lives on.

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."

Deadline extended

With the difference of my papers being due for regular courses (and not for any conference), this short vignette pretty much summarizes my last few weeks.

I have also had up to three different deadline extensions myself, and every time my feelings were quite similar to his 'aargh': on the one hand, you are happy because you get more time to improve what you've done before submitting; on the other, certain projects risk turning into a remake of the Neverending Story. Work, work, work and more work.
