A homeless man lived for years at luxurious hotels
David Price, a 30 year-old man, is jobless, homeless, lives on the streets, but, in these
2 past years he was able to live in the most luxurious hotels and try delicious food at first level
restaurants
Ritz Cartlon, Hard Rock Hotel, and Loews Portofino Bay were some of the hotels that hosted this guest
getting accommodation and paying by using other clients' cards
How could this guy swindle the hotel?
He paid attention when a guest walked away and left the hotel,
he got into the room, called to let the hotel's stuff know he had changed his mind
and decided to prolongate his stay up to several more days
In the US, the hotels work exclusively by using credit cards which are verified
while check-in, but, rarely while the check-out.
leaving the hotel is a consuetude without communicating it
David Price took advantage of his stay in order to enjoy the hotel restaurant dishes
Channel WTFV, interviewed one of this victims, a Ohio guy who saw his credit card
charged with 9.000 dolares for having lengthened the lodgement to keep staying
at the Portafino bay Hotel in Orlando.
The police in the Orange county could arrest price by the time
Hard Rock Hotel employees were reporting a guy tried to pass of as a roomer, a hotel worker
having stayed there during some nights.
The police guess this homeless may have swindled the same way as he did at Walt Disney hotels,
he might've had lodgement in several ocassions.

Red Light Runners
The San Francisco Department of Traffic is putting cameras at street corners. The cameras take pictures of cars running red lights. One camera shows 80 to 100 of them a day.
Running red lights is a big problem in San Francisco. A policeman says he could write tickets all day just for that. Running red lights causes about 1000 accidents a year.
The cameras show drivers not looking. They read maps. They talk on cell phones. They look at buildings.
The cameras sometimes show cars crashing. The drivers look surprised. Sometimes they look angry. One driver says he has never seen a stoplight change so quickly.
The red light cameras seem to be working. Drivers caught running red lights get tickets. There are 40% fewer red light runners at the intersections with cameras. The city has ordered 20 more cameras.

My English learning interest
Hello everybody.
My name is Andrea Varón but I prefer to be addressed as Andre.
I'm 20 years old, I'm Colombian, therefore, my native language is Spanish.
I'd been taught English since elementary school and to high school but back then I didn't like English as much as I do today maybe because it only was mostly about grammar, verbal tenses and stuff like that, pure theory.
But, 2 years later, when I wasn't in high school anymore, I start getting involved with English language, the reason why, is my favorite music Artist who is, unfortunately, not known enough worldwide nor is he in my country, I'm talking about David Archuleta ( I invite those, who might see this entry, to research about him.)
He indirectly encouraged me to think that English is possible to learn, before having found out about him, I thought English wouldn't be a subject I would be interested in.
At first I tried to transcribe some of his videos, obviously, a hard task but as the time passed I was acquiring the ability of typing out as much information as I could.
over time transcribing an audio or video really works cause it also implies listening and more listening, exposure to the language, and the more one listens, the better somebody will understand.
That's it what I had to say in my first entry.
