I am a very good expert reading the tarot cards. If you wanna know any kind of prediction for the future, it found the right person, I know that many people do not believe in this kind of thing about tarot, but anyway here is going some predictions for the future:

In terms of politics in our country I see here that there will be a re-election of our president, that people will be very pleased with the decisions taken by the new National Assembly.

In terms of the economy in our country seems to be improving with the new jobs that will open with a fair wage for the entire population.

Sports: I am not very clear but it seems that this time our beloved selection may not go to the World Cup. It would be very sad for all

Natural disasters will increase by the year 2008, there will be a greater number of hurricanes and earthquakes.

Science and technology will increasingly moving more and more, most things will be compact in size. Mobile phones and computers will be much more sophisticated. I can see that life will be much less complicated with all new inventions.

Good news for all the world, I see more peace, will end wars and unnecessary conflict, poverty in many countries will be eroded.

Well my dear friends this is what I can observe with my precious tarot cards, you will decide if believe in me or not ... I am going to see you in a next time... To you my best wishes and all my love.... Bye

Predictions

2007-11-17T13:21:00.000-08:00

I read the Tarot and I saw that Equador will have some nature desasters specially earthquake and a great tsunami that will flood the entire coast region. About the Ecuador´s politics may desapper because all the Ecuadorians are going to take the power theirselves against the corruption that has rotten this beautiful country; fortunately the Economy will improve so Ecuadorian people are planning to stay in, forgetting little to little to travel abroad. Meantime the Sports definately won´t have any success because the Equador Crisis willn´t permit to invest on that. Finally My last prediction is about myself and I will get a new good job in my career, I´ve been looking for it for a while and I wish to reach this although it´s very hard.

These are all my predictions, bye

The Pilgrim

Story: The Pilgrim is a story that recounts Paulo in the first person. The story begins with himself, in an initiation ceremony as Master gentleman and a warrant magic known as RAM (Regnum, Agnus, Mundi = Rigor, Love, Mercy). At the point of being nominated, make a mistake and that's when all the effort of years as an apprentice of this order are wasted, and it is condemned by its maestres to find his sword (item graduation) in an old religious path called " The Strange Way de Compostela "in the northern part of Spain. This was the road from the French pyrenees to Santiago de Compostela where were the relics of St. James the Apostle. Then, prompted by the need to graduate as a Master, left Brazil and settled in the French town called St. Jean Pied-de-Port for opening the route, where it expects an Italian guide called Petrus, who, by orders of RAM Paulo serve as a spiritual guide by Route Jacobea. That's when the story really starts, because the path and walking with fellow Petrus, Paulo start to learn some exercises that as we go along toward Compostela, it is useful to follow his path. Within the story describes things extraordinary, mystical and supernatural, that help themselves with itself, its desires, and even with its internal demons.

Biography

Paulo Coelho (Rio de Janeiro, August 24, 1947) is a Brazilian novelist. Paulo Coelho was born into a middle class family and strong Catholic influence, in Rio de Janeiro, where he studied at a Jesuit college. In contrast to the strong discipline that was imposed, became rebellious, and the seventeen years, was interned three times in a psychiatric clinic. In the late 1960, joins the hippie movement, abandoning the studies in 1970 to make a trip to Peru, Bolivia, Chile and Mexico, as well as Europe and North Africa. Two years later he returned to Brazil and began to compose lyrics for songs, working alongside Raul Seixas. In 1974, and for a short time he was detained in a military torture center accused of subversive activities against the Brazilian government. In 1987, toured the Camino de Santiago between France and Spain, which inspired his first book, The Pilgrim de Compostela. As a writer, has frequently occupied the top positions in the rankings of the best selling books in countries as diverse as Brazil, UK, USA, France, Canada, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Mexico, Israel, Greece and Spain. In 2002 he was elected to fill the seat number 21 of the Brazilian Academy of Letters . He lives with his wife Christina Oiticica, a painter, in Rio de Janeiro or in its mill of Saint Martin in southwest France.

In my opinion this is a great novel by Coelho where through the story of a fascinating trip, which aims to teach the spiritual is linked to the idea that there are no secrets, mysterious ways and people capable of understanding and controlling things hidden from the majority of mortals; to discover that the things that are around us are the answer to all our searches, our dreams are the main reason to go on living and achieve everything that we propose, and that life must be worn the most common way possible. This is the first novel by Paulo, which leaves a parable about the need to find our way in life.

The future

I think that in future the world changed considerably, the warming global is a theme very delicate If we do not change our lifestyle and we do not begin to recycle, The earth will be destroyed quickly, many cities will be flood

The next war will be created by the little freshwater on this planet, will exist a lot of heat and very little rain

In Ecuador politics will be very strict, to eliminate corruption. The economy will improve considerably. Rafael Correa will be the president of the country for 10 years more

In sports, The Deportivo Cuenca will be the champion the libertadores cup for two times and seven times champion of Ecuadoriam championship

THE TAROT

2007-11-16T15:15:00.000-08:00

Tarot is a group of cards, its number depends of type of Tarot, since exist many of kinds of Tarots... These letters are characterized because they take printed diverse figures as: magicians, angels, demons, the death, the gentleman, etc.. I don't believe in this cards. But is entertains when somebody say to you that something that you want that it happen, but we must not influence ourselves with what they say to us, since alone God knows what was happening with us. Well.... now I try to predict the future, I can see that in next year everything will be better for Ecuador... So the Presidet Rafael Correa will have a developer dream... it will help him to take the correct decisions, many people will come back to Ecuador, because there will be many work camps and they will be able to be again with their families, having a better well-being in our country. As consequence of this, the corruption will be diminished and Ecuador will be a big nation, with a great development in the agricultural area, we will be one of the biggest exporters of: fruits, seafood, etc.
As for sports: Ecuador's team will come to the world and it is possible that we gain our first world cup, as for the national championship the next years the champion will be "EL CUENQUITA"......
Whole world will think about the problem of Teh Global Warming, and they all will put a granite of sand in order that the planet recovers... This way that we will have a better future for our descent....

A BREATH TO OUR FUTURE WORLD

2007-11-13T17:39:00.002-08:00

This is an article about i think what will happen to the world in the next 10 years. The last sunday i saw a report on tv about this topic and they asked some many people what did they think about it and a lot of them didn´t know so much about this problem, better say they didn´t know how intensive is the problem to the earth planet and they don´t know what will really happen in the future. That´s why i would like to say that if we don´t take care about what´s happening around the world because of this problem we will get some damages on it. Some damages like the polar bears won´t have a home anymore, some places in the world are going to desappear because as the temperature rises, the water in the oceans and the seas becomes less dense and the oceans will spread, occuping more surface area on the planet. Another fact is that man is contributing substantially to the global warming because we can made pollution and we are not going to stop it, because the big countries with its big industries are just thinking of the economy and the way the can make money, the fact is they know about the problem but they don´t want to contribute to save our world. What i think is that if we can do something to make happy to the earth we have to make it, we can use our cars for less time, we can stop the pollution at least with no throwing the garbage on the floor and little things like that. Oh well just depend on us and the BIG PEOPLE that is getting the POWER and after this we will see that the global warming is going to be less and less step by step.

Ecuador’s future … by Anna the Gypsy

2007-11-13T17:07:00.000-08:00

The Tarot has never been so clearly than today. Every single card tells me about our future in Ecuador. Some news are good, some others are very bad.

The first card shows me about politics. I can read clearly we are going to re-elect our present president. He will probably win in the first round because economy is going to have a big change and a lot of people are helping him.

The second one is about passion and gold. For me this means we are going to win a lot of medals and probably we will have another gold Olympic medal.

The next card is about space, stars and the moon. With the help of the first astronaut, we are going to send the first Ecuadorian to the moon and we will have our flag over there.

The cards don’t say me any thing else. However, if you want to know more, please call any time to 1900-ANNAGYPSY. . It is very cheap.

Believe me!… You future has no price!.

Da Vinci Code

2007-11-13T16:49:00.002-08:00

Dan Brown`s Biography

Dan Brown is the author of numerous bestselling novels, including the #1 New York Times bestseller, The Da Vinci Code -- one of the best selling novels of all time. In early 2004, all four of Dan Brown's novels held spots on the New York Times bestseller list during the same week.
Recently named one of the World's 100 Most Influential People by TIME Magazine, Dan Brown has made appearances on CNN, The Today Show, National Public Radio, Voice of America, as well as in the pages of Newsweek, Forbes, People, GQ, The New Yorker, and others. His novels have been translated and published in more than 40 languages around the world.
Dan is a graduate of Amherst College and Phillips Exeter Academy, where he spent time as an English teacher before turning his efforts fully to writing. In 1996, his interest in code-breaking and covert government agencies led him to write his first novel, Digital Fortress, which quickly became a #1 national bestselling eBook. Set within the clandestine National Security Agency, the novel explores the fine line between civilian privacy and national security. Brown’s follow-up techno-thriller, Deception Point, centered on similar issues of morality in politics, national security, and classified technology.
The son of a Presidential Award winning math professor and of a professional sacred musician, Dan grew up surrounded by the paradoxical philosophies of science and religion. These complementary perspectives served as inspiration for his acclaimed novel Angels & Demons—a science vs. religion thriller set within a Swiss physics lab and Vatican City. Recently, he has begun work on a series of symbology thrillers featuring his popular protagonist Robert Langdon, a Harvard professor of iconography and religious art. The upcoming series will include books set in Paris, London, and Washington D.C.

The Da Vinci Code has sold some 70 million copies worldwide and is now being adapted for film by Columbia Pictures.

PREDICTIONS FOR THE NEW YEAR

2007-11-13T16:49:00.001-08:00

Lately I discovered that I have a strange force to make a view of the future into my mind, of course I need a special thing to do this, it´s the Tarot.

People usually don´t believe in this kind of sobrenatural powers but it´s really amazing. Next I´m going to give you an example of my magnificent powers, let´s start......

To do it, we need to be concentrated and set our minds in blank, we have to be relax, no problems, we need just a deep breath.

The images about the Ecuador comes to my mind and are:

I can see the Quito Downtown, people are very angry and shout so loud against the Mayor of the city, I don´t know what is the problem but I´m very sure the protest is not against the Goverment.

The images continues coming to my mind, I see Mr. President arriving to Guayaquil and people are very happy, excited with the event and the Mayor of the city excited too. It´s a good prediction I guess.....

In this moment I feel so tired, my energies go down but I can see one more prediction, I have to be concentrated and breathe deep....

I see a soccer game between Ecuador and Uruguay, people are so nervous because we have the same points. Uruguay needs win the game to go to World Cup but we are in the same situation, minutes runs quickly and in the last second Uruguay make a gol, it´s terrible people are sad and cry for this. Outside the stadium some people start to break everything, they don´t accept the scorebroad.

Well this all my folks, I hope that you have enjoyed it so much.

If I can read the Tarot I Thing that it will happen in Ecuador:

ECONOMY

The global economy in the future of Ecuador will be worse because the ecuadorian people is going to have increases of the taxes and it won´t allow to have a development in the bussiness. Also, the growth of our country will be less than the others Southamerican cuntries. Neverthless the country will have an economic stability for the dollar, but may be the President Correa will be take other coin. The economy of ecuador will be sustained in oil specially and with the taxes of the population.

SPORTS

First, the Ecuadorian Selection won´t classify to the world of football because it isn´t playing good and the trainer Luis Fernando Suárez won´t find the ideal team to face the others selections. In the Nacional Championship Liga de Quito is gonig to be the champion and it will follow by the Deportivo Cuenca.

WARS

For the future, Ecuador won´t have wars with its neighbors, but it will continue a litle problems with Colombia for the fumigation. Also, the President Correa is going to have more problems with the press for declarations of the two parts.

POLITICS

In the future the National Congress will disappear and the Constituent Assembly will take the desicions about economy, education and the most importants things in Ecuador. Also, the consultation is going to be realized and the Ecuadorian people will approve the new Constitution.

SCIENCE

Ecuador will have a small development about science, but in the future it will take less illiteracy especially for programs that will be development by education institucions and for the help of the government.

About the warm in the world maybe it can be posible but the war may not be over land or territory but by the water because the water will be one of the most important resources.

Maybe "Deportivo Cuenca" will win the Soccer National Championship this year

Maybe the economy grow and create more factories, the populations grow and perhaps life will be harder.

2007-11-13T16:27:00.000-08:00

I'm going to predict the universe in a funny and fantastic way!!!

The world in general will be other, there will be more and more technology than it is nowdays, there will be more kinds of new animals (mixted ones), for example: dog's face and head and body of tiger... more or less like that!!

The people will have new lifestyle, they will have modern and smaller cars, the houses will be more colorfull, the people will have robots as housekeepers, they will have a lot of technology insite the house, their clothes will be: almost transparent, short, longes, very very colorfull, i think there will be big clothes marts, but not just for mark clothes, there will be otavaleños, saragureños, chola cuencana's clothes, etc. Their hair style will be in many ways, their will be of all the colors as posible, will have extrange types of hairstyles.

The currency in the world will be one for all, but in each country it will be different type of billete or coin, for example in Ecuador the face of the 100 billete will be "el tin delgado"!!!

There will be just one universal languge, and the ones that are now will be just dialects.

There will be a lot of sports for men and women, not just soccer or basketball, it we`ll be also new ones, like "torogoal", it will be like soccer but insted of a ball you will have a bull!!

It`ll be (i hope) no more wars between lands, because their politics or that stuff, the wars will be because they can make better food the ones from the other ones, or because they have better teams in "torogoal", or that kind of things, and the wars will be with out guns or atomic bombs, it will be with water guns, or color guns!!!

THE BEST BOOK I HAVE EVER READ.

2007-11-13T16:23:00.000-08:00

I didn’t like read books about stories when I was in the high school and later in the College, I just read scientific books, related to my career, but when I finished the studies I had a lot of free time and I decided to read some books that my sister had.

During this new hobby I could read some excellent books but the best to me was “The Alchemist” from Paulo Coelho. The book tells us the story about a young man called Santiago. With this symbolic masterpiece Coelho tells us that we should not avoid our destinies, and urges people to follow their dreams, because to find our "Personal Myth" and our mission on Earth is the way to find "God", meaning happiness, fulfillment, and the ultimate purpose of creation.
"The Alchemist" is the kind of novel that tells you that everything is possible as long as you really want it to happen. Coelho tells us "simple things are the most valuable and only wise people appreciate them”.

Next, I’m going to show you a little biography of Coelho that I could find in Internet:

Coelho was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the son of Pedro Queima de Souza an engineer, and his wife, Lygia a homemaker. His middle-class parents didn't share his dream of an artistic career. When he was 17 his father had him committed to a mental institution where he endured electroshock therapy, even when he got involved with a theatre group and started work as a journalist, they had him recommitted once more.

He sought spiritual experiences travelling throughout Mexico, Peru, Bolivia, and Chile, as well as Europe and North Africa. Later he launched an alternative magazine called 2001. After joining the Alternative Society and publishing a series of comic strips about freedom, he was imprisoned and later experienced kidnap and torture by paramilitaries.

After this, Coelho turned away from progressive politics, working as an executive in the music industry. After a prophetic dream he met a stranger who urged him to study the benign side of magic and to walk the pilgrim's Road to Santiago.

After completing the pilgrimage in 1987, Coelho wrote The Pilgrimage, describing his experiences of the extraordinary in ordinary lives. A year later he wrote The Alchemist which was not well received. When he wrote Brida, he gained much attention in the press and both the former books made best seller lists.

Well how we can read the Coelho’s life was very hard because he didn’t have the support from his parents, but he always was looking for his dream and finally it became truly. If we try to compare his life with the book, we notice that the main idea is the same in both cases: Santiago and Paulo try to follow his dream, looking for some clues in their lives, trying to understand the meaning of the existence.

Coelho studied Alchemist for 11 years and understood the essence of its meaning, later was easy to make a book about this because he related his knowledge with his own life, in my opinion.
Well this is all that I can tell you about this excellent book, I recommended it to read it, you can find it in any book store and the cost is very cheap.

BRAZIL

2007-11-13T14:50:00.000-08:00

BRAZIL compared with CUENCA - ECUADOR

Geography:

Brazil is a country in South America, its the fifth largest country by geographical area while Cuenca is the third city of Ecuador located in South America too.
Brazil is bounded by the Atlantic ocean on the east, its coastline is over 7,367 kilometers. On the north by Venezuela, Suriname, Guyana and french Guyana.
On the South by Uruguay, on the southeast by Argentina and Paraguay and with Bolivia, Perú and Colombia to the east.
Cuenca is located between the 2,350 and 2,550 meters above sea level, in the Southern sector of the Ecuadorian Andean Mountain range. Also it is bathed by four rivers : Tomebamba, Yanuncay, Machangara and Tarqui. The Tomebamba river divided the city in two: the colonial city and the new city.

This is Cuenca´s center

History:

Brazil was colonized by Portugal from 1500 until its independence in 1822 while Cuenca was founded by 1557 by the Spanish Gil Ramirez Dávalos and achived its independece in November 3 of 1820.
Brazil has been a Republic since 1889 and its president is Lula Da Silva. Cuenca doesn´t have a president because is a city but its maximun authority is Marcelo Cabrera.
Cuenca is well preserved, that is why it earns the honor of being listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Trust.

This is a colonial street of Cuenca

Economy:

Brazil is the world's ninth largest economy in terms of pushing power and at tenth largest economy at market exchange rates.
It has good technology, agriculture and exportation.
The pushing power is that the things have one price and this is eficcient in the market and made it more competitive.

On the other hand Cuenca´s economy isn´t as developed as Brazil but it has many things such as gold and silver, also the agriculture is growing and many people is studying and have their career. This make Cuenca a city more cultural and interesting.

Population:

The total of the population in Brazil until 2005 was 183,888,841 while in Cuenca is around 400.000.
Brazil is the most populated country in the world.

I decided to compare Cuenca with Brazil because i like both and i wanted to make you see that althougt both are in the same continent, they are very diferent and beautiful.

LA ILIADA

2007-11-07T06:40:00.000-08:00

LA ILIADA:

Author: Homero

La Iliada is for my one of most exciting books that I have read.

This book talks about an epic history, a war history which apparently happened between Greece and Troy, eight hundred years B.C. Greece was commanded by Agamenon and his brother Menelao. And Troy was commanded by Hector and Paris.

The history begins when the Trojan Hector and his young brother Paris went to Greece for making peace alliances, on this trip Paris meet to a beautiful woman named Elena, she was Menelao¨s wife. Paris was in love of Elena, and they love to each other, and both of them decide flee from Greece and go to Troy.

When Menelao¨s discovered the Elenas¨s treason, he decided to attack Troy and recovered his wife. So Greeks before attacks Trojans decide ask help to Aquiles who was considered the best fighter ever, but he didn’t want support them.

So they attack to the Trojans, and Aquiles¨s cousin named Patroclo who belongs to Greek army was killed and the Greeks loose the battle.

The death of Patroclo enraged to Aquiles, and he decided help Greeks in the war against Troy, On this attack Hector dies, and the Trojans army decided took revenge and they fired a terrible attack to Greeks, and supposedly they won the war.

The day after battle, Trojans army founded on the coast many Greeks soldiers killed, and all the Greek army escape to their contry, and they also found in the sand a huge wood horse sculpture, and they thought this was a God¨s present for Trojan victory, but they didn’t know this was a tramp.

So Trojans decide introduce the "present" inside the city, but in the night when all Trojans were sleeping the best Greeks soldiers commanded by Aquiles went out the big horse, and they attack and burned all Troy city, killing to everyone, fortunately Paris during the attack took an arrow and injured to Aquiles, after that Paris and some Trojan soldiers took all women and children who survived to the atrack and escape to another place to reach safety themselves.

That is all about this great epic history, which talk about how love and men feelings can cause terrible wars between brothers, families, even countries.

La Iliada was writed by Homero, About his live mankind just know a litlle. He was a Greek, who lived on Greece berween (siglo II B.C.)

That is known he was a blind writer, who belongs to middle class; he was a protected man by his sponsors, who were kings, and some high class members who paid important artist and writers for their jobs.

Homero was a patriot, for this reason we can say this history is a reflex of love and heroic patriotism what Homero felt by his country.

UNCLE TOM´S CABIN

2007-10-30T18:41:00.000-07:00

This is a very interesting book that I read a lof of time ago, when I was at the High school ; it tells about injuries that stood the black skin people in the United States during eighteen century, where they were slaves of the white people. Tom was a good person and He was a slave too but his owners had a great fond for him, because He used to help everybody specially the children. He was married and had two children but economical problems of his owner He had to be sold to a bad person who didn´t bear him because He always used to be happy and good temper although other people weren´t on the same way. Unfortunately Tom left his family and had to stand a bad life far away from them; eventually He died because He was hurt by your new chief through whipping just at the moment when your first owner had gotten enough money to get him again. This interesting book was written by Harriet Beecher Stowe who was born in 1811 and died in 1896, she got married and had seven children. When she was 22 years old the slavery at that time made to her write this story that is one of ten books that she did in all her life.

The Father of Science Fiction and his travel “From the Earth to the Moon”

2007-10-30T18:38:00.001-07:00

Many people recommend the book “From the Earth to the Moon” written by Jules Verne for kids, because it has a lot of science fiction and kids just love it. For me, you can discover new things every time you read this book. You can be again a kid or you can make a lot of calculus to discover if all can be true.

I always have wondered what he saw, what he was studding, what he was reading to have that imagination. Some writes said when he was a kid, he used to live near to a river and all the ships he saw are part of his inspiration and curiosity. Then he started to read, study and invent a lot of things.

Some biographers thought he was seer. Others said that he was a genius, like Leonardo da Vinci. He knew a lot of mats, geology, astronomy physics and many things more. However, the person who helped him to improve books was his best publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel. He said to Jules he have to make books attractive for all ages and not only to scientific audience.

The first time I read this book was when I was 12 years old and since that time I see me studding technology. Just think how a man, the writer, could write travels and adventures one hundred years before it could be real… This inspire every one.

Angels & Demons (Dan Brown)

2007-10-30T18:02:00.000-07:00

I read "Angels & Demons" 1 year ago approximately. Before I read the Da Vinci Code, was brilliant I compare both of them and I prefere the first one.

The book was published in 2000. The principal character is Robert Langdonwho is also the principal character of the novel "The Da Vinci Code". The thriller es about science vs. religion.

The story begin with an assassination. Robert Langdon, tries to stop what seems to be a legendary secret society, that want to destroy the Vatican City with a new discover the power of antimatter. In the Vatican there are a hidden bomb and a serial killer.

The novel is entertaining from beginning to the end. Reality, fiction and an interesting way to write. He has the ability to want to read more and more. Data and information placed in the novel are real and product research of the author and his wife, in fact, it inspired him to write this kind of story.

For me the debate which is to be trusted : science or religion is an important point of the story, you should be read!

A large America

2007-10-30T17:34:00.000-07:00

well when I read this book, I Know that the book was part of biography the story of his granfathers and "Gabo". Gabriel Garcìa Marquèz was called so since his childhead. Really I read the biography of the Gabo and after I can read Cien años de soledad, This book treat the migration of her grandfather when he kill to a friend of her natal village. The died of his friend was for a bad understood with the mother of the friends.

And of this form all the event with her grandfather are transmitted to Gabo when he was a youn and he life in the grandparent house becouse your parent traveled onother cyti for your work.

It possible to say that this estage in the life of Gabo nevermore was retiring up to remaining printed in one of her big you write novels.

The life in the novel is the same life that he had when he was a child. After read the books, Cien años de soledad and her biography, I think. When spoke of like know the ice, the first move that see with your grandfather .

The wished time for Gabriel Garcia Marquez became reality as a result of months of hard work, when he wrote “Cien Años de Soledad” which was a successful work.Already he was a famous writer and decided only write his owns works, obviously he had money to do this.Being a name known he traveled for some countries exalting the respect of the human rights.In 1982 he won the Nobel Prize of literature and obtained money which let him found the School of Movie of San Antonio de Baños in Cuba, place destined to stimulate and help to youth in the art of the movies.In 1994 published his last novel “ Del Amor y Otros Demonios”Last March 6 was the 80th birthday of Gabo and it is celebrated by the minister of culture of Colombia. He ordered the reconstruction of his natal house in Aracataca.Actually it is known that he works in memories where his principal personage dies when he writes the last phrase of his work.
No doubt it is one of the most important this times.

This novel present an interrogant about who was the intellectual author of one of the most controversial crimes in Ecuador " The Murder of Gabriel Garcia Moreno, one of the biggest Ecuadorian presidents" . He is the symbol of the Republican Epoque in our nation.

Alicia Yanez Cossio who is the author of this novel analizes if his murder was ¿Conspiracion or revenge? García Moreno was famous for its strenght of character and authoritarianism but at the same time he was a man tyrant and indolent.

He was considered a genius thats why many people love him but many people used to hate him either because he used to send to the wall for kill to everybody who were agains him.

The ecuadorian Alicia Yanez Cossio is undoubthedly one of the leading figures of the first Chamber International Book and The Word, that`s why she was a candidate to the Cervantez prize.

She bore in Quito in 1929, she got married with a cuban man and had five children. She is the author of many books that are very popular in the literature such as Bruna, Soroche y los Tìos, Yo vendo unos ojos negros, etc.

She doesn`t have anything in common with this novel "Se que vienen a matarme", her life seems to be very happy , normal and succesful.

This book has an english translation made by De Rogers, and in one comment that i found in the internet Alicia Yanez Cossio said that she was wonderfully of how this author had intrepretated the book in the same way as she done.

García Márquez then worked as a foreign correspondent in Caracas, Rome, Paris, Barcelona, India, and New York City.

my opinion about the book "cien años de soledad":

Well, when I rode this book was when I was a child and it was the first book of Gabriel Garcia Marquez that I rode... when I rode it, it was very difficult for me because I had a very extensive vocabulary. Well, now I have read many of Gabriel Garcia's novels and I had to read again this book, I finished to read 2 weeks ago and discusses the history of the "buendia" and I love this book because it is very different from the others and create events least expected.
I love the novels of Gabriel Garcia Marquez and above all "cien años de soledad" for his fluency and fertile imagination that the author is describing exactly each character mainly to overall aureliano buendia ... Since we last told all his life to understand the context of the novel

"CUORE" (Heart)

2007-10-30T17:26:00.000-07:00

This is a novel that I rode when I was twelve, honestly, I guess it's has been the unique book I've ever read, so I don't remember it so well but I'm gonna try:

This is a novel wroten by the italian Edmundo de Amicis, and this is about a little boy who tell us a short story of his life, in others words it's a kind of diary.

The novel has some sections, in each one, this kid named Henry, show us how his life is. Tell us the days in school, how he has to defend to his friends from another bad guys, how rudes the teachers where in those days, but at the same time how happy they were sharing with his friends all kind of things like toys, bikes, playing in the streets without any danger around them, etc. The way henry endeavors to be a good son, a good student, a good friend.

He also tell us about his family, how they taught him good customs, and study very hard to be someone important in the life. He relate us a lot of experiences of his childhood, some of them are sad but another are happy, like everybody else.

I liked so much this novel, because it feels so real, and you get interested about it, this is not a fiction or imaginary novel, it's is a novel based on true life, here you can find stories that could happen to you when you were a child. Anyway I'd like to recommending you this book because when you start to read it you're gonna like it a lot. The book try to teach us the nobility that every single person must have.

Edmundo de Amicis's Biography

I didn't find a lot of information about the relationship of Edmundo de Amicis's life and his novel "Cuore", but I know this novel is about patriotism, loyalty, fidelity, friendship, I supossed all of this great values he learned from his childhood until he was on Militar School of Modena, a place where you learn to share with your partners.

Another events that marked his life was that he enrolled in Socialist Party, and where he got a lot of moral and didactic ideas. Amicis lived in a time when Italian unit was rebuilding and used to see so many kids who came from all the corners of Italy.

Paula, from Isabel Allende.

2007-10-30T17:25:00.000-07:00

One the books I love more, was "Paula" from Isabel Allende.

This story is about her daughter Paula. She got ill, when she was 28 years old, she was in come and she had to stay many months in the hospital (from december 1991 until january 1992) and Isabel was with her every single day.
While Paula was ill, Isabel tell her every step she made in all her life, the time when she was a child, and she had to live in countries like Bolivia and Beirut, because her stepfather used to work there. The time when she was young, the first time she felt in love and she got married, she told Paula about the time she got her, and they went to live in Belgic and Zwitzerland, also she told the time that her uncle Salvador Allende was president of Chile, and then because of that they have to moved to Venezuela, etc. She made a book, just of stories that happend in her live, until she was trying to fight with the ill of Paula. After Paula dies she wrote letters for her, poems and memories.

Isabel Allende, she born in Lima-Perù, on August 2nd of 1942. At the age of 3 years old she went to live in Chile with her mother and brothers, after her parents get divorced. When she was child and young she lived in many different places. Isabel was married 2 times.
She published articles in newspapers and magazines in America and Europe, also she made lectures tours and speech tours in universities and colleges of America and Europe. She also participated in theater in her country such as "El Embajador" (1971), "La Balada del Medio Pelo" (1973), and "Los Siete Espejos" (1974). The books she wrote are many, the famous ones are:
“The House of the Spirits”, (1982)
“Eva Luna'”, (1985)
“Paula”, (1994)
“Aphrodite” (recipes, stories and other aphrodisiacs), (1997)
“My Invented Country”, (2003)
“Zorro”, (2005)
“Inés of My Soul”, (2006)
Isabel Allende thinks that her most significant achievement is not her writing, it's the love she shares with her family.

Comparing the book with her life I just can say the things I felt while I read the book; Isabel loves her family and she used to love very very much her daughter Paula, so the time when Paula was sick is normal she suffer very much; and Isabel start to remember all her live and tell Paula, that also she couln`t hear her, because she felt lonely. Specially the book is about Isabel's life, so it depends the point of view you read it to interpret it.

The seven secrets of success

2007-10-30T17:24:00.000-07:00

I have read this book and I liked it very much, this is a very interesting, it has been wrote by Richard Webster, it is about 7 easy steps to have the success in the life. This 7 steps are explained like a story, a story about a guy called Kevin, he is 28 years old, he lose his own business and his wife and because of this he tried to suicide, but Todd an old man who had a lot of problems too but he reached the success, he helped to Kevin to solve his problems giving him some advices. Like i am going to say now:

The first step is:
*Live the present

The second step is:
* Hug the trees and the life

The third step is:
* Make goals that you became true.

The forth step is:

*You can find opportunities wherever you are

The fifth step is:
*Perseverance

The sixth step is:

*Trust on yourself

The seventh and the last step is:

*Help the others, forgive them and forgive to yourself

As you can see the book is very good for that people who don´t fill so fine in their lifes and it is good for those who wants an advice too.

Oh well i have been looking for the story of this book, and i found that Richard (the book´s author) has wrote it for a friend 15 years ago to help him, Webster says that his friend used to have a lot of hard problems, he did´n´t want to talk to anybody, even with his family. So Richard wrote this book for him because he liked reading too much. But this book was just for his friend, so when his friend started a new life after reading the book, he said to Webster if he could make copies of it to help a lof of people that have the same problems as him and he made it. So a few years later Richard have found people that said they have changed their lifes after reading the book and nowadays i know people including me that when you read the book you can fill in you that change you need. So I recommend to read THE SEVEN SECRETS OF SUCCESS it is really amazing.

Best Regards

2007-10-30T17:16:00.000-07:00

Hello, how are you?

What do you think about the title?

Well, to beginning, we know that men and women are very differents in particular how we are feeling in love, but the problem is that we don't acept this.

Our differences:

Discovering whow men and women, provede the kind of love they need and don`t what need the other person.

Men and women have differents ways to hide their feelings when major will be share their feelings.

Women have different values: love, care, communication, relationships, sharing time with people that they love, live together in harmony.

Men are doing things to prove themselves that their power and their abilities are better, for their autonomy is a symbol of efficiency. They dislike talk about your problems.
Men say "Women are so complicated that we don't understand", but women say the same. !Terrible!

Until next time, good bye.

Athens, GREECE

2007-10-30T16:07:00.000-07:00

It is a cosmopolitan and modern city located in Greece, Europe which is marked by each one of the eras that have spent througth the centuries of their existence.

Currency:Euro (EUR)

If we will travel there we could visit places like these:

- Acropolis: This is a central place of this city cause it shows the thoughts and architecture from the Ancient Greece…. So it`s become in an important place to when we`ll arrive. Here can find: The Partenón, the Temple of the goddess of the wisdom, this built with marble of Pentélico.

Close from here it’s the hill of Licabeto it is the highest point in the center of Athens, from where we could see the best views in the city and in clear days we could be seem the islands of Salamina and Egina.

But don´t forget us to mention about in the north of Athens they are the Olympic Facilities, remodeled especially for the Olympic Games of 2004.

Florence: The birthplace of the Italian Renaissance

2007-10-30T08:47:00.000-07:00

I’m going to talk about Florence because I love the art and its expressions and this city is a very important place where the Renaissance had an amazing development. The city is the centre of art and architecture of Italy. I hope that article is interesting for you and enjoy it a lot, let’s start.

From 1865 to 1870 the city was the capital of the Kingdom of Italy. Florence lies on the Arno River and has a population of around 400,000 people. Florence experiences a warm temperate continental climate. The summers are hot and humid. Rainfall occurs in winter accompanied by snowfall.

A center of medieval European trade and finance, the city is often considered the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance and was long ruled by the Medici family. Florence is also famous for its magnificent art and architecture. It is said that, of the 1,000 most important European artists of the second millennium, 350 lived or worked in Florence. The city has also been called the Athens of the middle Ages.

The historic Center of Florence was declared a World Heritage Site by the UNESCO in 1982.
Next I going to mention the most important artist from this part of Italy, each of them have difference styles to make art in different ways like picture, sculpture, architecture, etc.

o Painters: Vasari, Bronzino, Pontormo, Andrea del Sarto, Fra Bartolommeo, Miguel Angel, Rafael, Leonardo da Vinci, Perugino, Signorelli, Girlandaio, Masaccio, Giotto, Botticelli, Andrea Verrochio, Filippino Lippi y Piero della Francesca.

o Sculptors: Giacomo della Porta, Giovanni da Bologna, Miguel Angel, Desiderio, Donatello y Antonio Pollaiuolo.

o Architects: Vasari, Miguel Angel, Sangallo, Bramante, Alberti, Filarete, entre otros.

o Writers:Dante, Poliziano, Boccaccio y Maquiavelo

The city tries to keep the medieval appearance and all its tourist places can be visited for people by feet: the famous Ponte Vecchio, the bridge covered with stores, the unmistakable duomo of Florence, Piazza della Signoria, where the Palazzo Vecchio is and the chapels of Medici. The lovers of the pictures should visit the gallery of Uffizi, one of the most important collections of pictures in the world.

As you can imagine, the city has a lot of places to visit and discover a new mean for the art and culture. I would love to travel to Florence one day to know everything and understand the meaning of Renaissance.

If we compare this city with Cuenca we'll notice that exist differences and some similarities. Both are cultural cities and small cities from its country. Florence is older than Cuenca and its culture belongs to other point in the time.

Overweight: a new problem in our country

In our looks-obsessed society, lots of people think that being overweight is an appearance issue. But being overweight is actually a medical concern because it can seriously affect a person's health.
When people eat more calories than they burn off, their bodies store the extra calories as fat. A couple of pounds of extra body fat are not a health risk for most people. But when people keep up a pattern of eating more calories than they burn, more and more fat builds up in their bodies. Befote the main problem in our country was the low weight but the obesity are increasing.
Eventually, the body gets to a point where the amount of body fat can have a negative effect on a person's health. Doctors use the terms "overweight" or "obese" to describe when someone is at greatest risk of developing weight-related health problems.As you've probably heard, more people are overweight today than ever before. Experts are calling this an "obesity epidemic." This health problem affects young people as well as adults — one third of all kids between the ages of 2 and 19 are overweight or obese. So younger people are now developing health problems that used to affect only adults, like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and type 2 diabetes.
Why Do People Become Overweight?

Obesity tends to run in families. Some people have a genetic tendency to gain weight more easily than others because they burn calories more slowly. During times when food was scarce, this was a real advantage. But now that food is available 24/7 in most industrialized countries, an efficient metabolism that once ensured our survival now works to our disadvantage.
Although genes strongly influence body type and size, the environment also plays a role. People today may be gaining weight because of unhealthy food choices (like fast food) and family habits (like eating in front of the television instead of around a table). High-calorie, low-nutrient snacks and beverages, bigger portions of food, and less-active lifestyles are all contributing to the obesity epidemic.
Sometimes people turn to food for emotional reasons, such as when they feel upset, anxious, sad, stressed out, or even bored. When this happens, they often eat more than they need.

Measuring Weight
Figuring out if a teen is overweight can be more complicated than it is for adults. That's because teens are still growing and developing. Doctors and other health care professionals often use a measurement called body mass index (BMI) to determine if someone is overweight.
Health Problems of Being Overweight
Obesity is bad news for both body and mind. Not only can it make a person feel tired and uncomfortable, carrying extra weight puts added stress on the body, especially the bones and joints of the legs. As they get older, kids and teens who are overweight are more likely to develop diabetes and heart disease.
Luckily, it's never too late to make changes that can effectively control weight and the health problems it causes. Those changes don't have to be big. For a start, make a plan to cut back on sugary beverages, eat more vegetables, or healthy food and avoid fatty foods and get more exercise, even if it's just 5–10 minutes a day. Build your way up to big changes by making a series of small ones.

PARIS

Paris is the capital city of France. It is situated on the River Seine, in northern France, at the heart of the Île-de-France region ("Région parisienne"). The City of Paris has an estimated population of 2,153,600 within its administrative limits.

Architecture

"Modern" Paris is the result of a vast mid-19th century urban remodelling. For centuries it had been a labyrinth of narrow streets and half-timber houses, but beginning in 1852, the Baron Haussmann's vast urbanisation levelled entire quarters to make way for wide avenues lined with neo-classical stone buildings of bourgeoise standing; most of this 'new' Paris is the Paris we see today.

Cuenca compared with Paris. The first is a small city and Paris is one of the most reconocide city in the world. Paris has a lot of poblation and one of the most beautiful destinations when anyone want to travel. About the architecture paris has many colonials houses and the houses are differents. About the weather Paris has the stations and Cuenca doesn’t have it. Paris is bigger than Cuenca and Paris is the capital of France and Cuenca doesn’t is the capital in Ecuador.

Washington DC, the capital of the world

2007-10-23T18:27:00.000-07:00

Washington DC is the capital of USA and the capital of the world. It is at the east of the country and every idea has born here. The Potomac River crosses the border of this city. This river is bigger than our rivers in Cuenca.

All decisions from the whole world have born in the White House and in the Capitol. They control us from there. However, those are very important and very beautiful places to visit. If you are lucky, you can go inside to the Capitol!.

The most important place in Washington DC is the National Mall. It is not a sopping mall. It is like our Solano Avenue but is very longer than here. You can walk, visit important monuments and memorials. More over, you can visit all museums by free and you can see dinosaurs, spatial suits, modern art, and learn more about our past, our present and future.

I chose this city because the last April I was there and I liked it. When I was there, the weather was slightly hotter than our city and for me was perfect. I whish I could return there because my other half, my sister, is there.

ENGLISH LEARNSHIP

2007-10-23T17:48:00.001-07:00

I ´ve been studying this language for more than two years , I have seen a lot of english movies and have heard songs but it´s very hard understand when an american man speaks freely; In several times I thought to leave this because in spite of learning the gramatical and simple conversations in class isn´t enough to reach my object. But little to little I´ve gotten to learn more when I hear foreign people talking I can understand much better, for that reason I am looking forward to traveling abroud however it´s difficult..

Sometimes when I have to speak english I forget the words and so the best is to do foreign friends much better if they are attractive ladies who furthermore I might get an interesting relationship... due the ladies from here are very jealous ..

Eventually I´d like to learn a little more this language because it´s marvelous can talk to another people that live far away from here.

Santorini, Greece (beautiful place)

2007-10-23T17:48:00.000-07:00

Santorini is located South East Greece, in the Aegean Sea; one of the Cyclades islands. Santorini is one huge mound of volcanic lava. The island is almost waterless and has only a very few flowing springs. Santorini's climate is mild and Mediterranean. The population of Santorini is about 11,400.

I choose that city because a friend live in Netherlands, she told me something about your trip to Santorini. She enjoyed four days there. She said "the food is very delicious, there are salads, soup and sea food, the people are really friendly, the hotels are confortables, the landscapes are magics: the sea, the sky, the mountains, the rocks, etc. I love Santorini, you have to visit that one day". She sent me many photos, I saw them and I want to go to Greece. I looked for information and I found other wonder reason to go there.

I think the climate is more beautiful there than Cuenca. The landscapes are more pretty than Cuenca, but Cuenca is the most importante city for me.

Formula 1

The most pupular autosport in the world is the formula 1, this is an elite sport and where millions of dollars are played by winning a competition, to drive Formula 1 car has to be a unique experience, The amount of money invested in this sport is amazing, Ferrari has a budget of 750 million euros. Last Sunday was the final race in Brazil, Interlagos, After 21 years, three pilots arrive with chances of obtaining the title. These were Lewis Hamilton (107 points), Fernando Alonso (103 points) and Kimi Raikkonen. (100 points), The greatest chance of winning the title had Lewis Hamilton.

The way it came out was the pilots:

1 Felipe Massa
2 Lewis Hamilton

3 Kimi Raikkonen.

4 Fernando Alonso

The start was spectacular, after an error of Hamilton in the first corner he fell to the 10th place, while Massa was leading most of the race, Ferrari's strategy was the best, Raikkonen finished first, followed by Massa and Alonso third, Kimi Raikkonen won the 2007 championship with a difference of 1 point over Hamilton. This sport is spectacular.

The reading: a new experience to develop the imagination.

2007-10-23T17:34:00.000-07:00

A lot of people spend their free time in activities that not develop their skills, in the other way: people spend their free time in activities without meaning, for example watch TV.

An excellent choice for this is practice the reading, when you read a good book your mind start to create the fantastic sceneries about the story, about characters, about everything that you can imagine.

When you are reading and very concentrate in the story, each line that you read is a motivation to continue to the end. In this moment nothing is annoying and you travel to the other world that exist in your mind, your real life disappear for a little time and the story is the most important to you.

There's a lot of of Authors but in my opinion the best that I have read it has been Paulo Coelho. His books are very interesting and each one has its own style. Paulo Coelho has the hability to create amazing stories and gives to the reader symbolic messages, understand the meaning of each one it`s very excited.

If you have free time, you can try to read a good book, and you'll discover a new style of life.

MACAS

Macas is the capital of the Morona-Santiago province in Ecuadoris in the Amazon Region, is one of the diffrence with Cuenca that is located in the Sierra Region. Macas town is in southeastern Ecuador. It lies on the Upano River along the eastern slopes of the Andes, at an elevation of 3,445 feet (1,050 m). Founded by the Spanish captain José Villanueva Maldonado in the mid-16th century as the city of Sevilla del Oro (“Golden Seville”).

I chose this city because I lived in there by several years, and I think that is a beautifull city and the people are very friendly.

This city there are many touristic places: I loved to visit the main church, and parks, there are big rivers around the city, and another places with a lot of plants and interesting animals

I like the climate, sometimes in there rain a lot, but another times there are a lot of sun.

Cuenca is colder than Macas, and the type of clothes that people use is also different.

Cuenca is more noisy than Macas, for this reason If you want more relax and evoy the estressfull of the city, I think that Macas is a nice city to visit.

There are not big comercial places such a comercial centers, but has a variety of littles stores were you can buy some handycrafts.

The food of this city is really delicious. one of the tipycal dishes is the "Ayampaco", and most of people drink an herbal plant called guayusa.

The differences betwen those cities are that Macas is more little than Cuenca, and the population is more shorter.

The climate is very different. Macas is warmer than Cuenca.

In Macas there are more vegetation. In Cuenca there are more buildings

Cuenca is visited for many people of another countries. In Macas a short amount of people of another countries visit it.

Well I think that a trouble is the distance betwen Macas and Cuenca because Macas is far. I arrive to Macas about 9 hours since Cuenca.

BERN (Switzerland) CUENCA (Ecuador)

2007-10-23T17:32:00.000-07:00

This is the capital of the beautiful country of Zwitzerland, it is located in Canton Bern, in the west of the north of Zwitzerland. The climate here is changeing depending on the sesson of the year (winter, spring, sommer or fall). The language in Bern is the swiss german, but most of the people speak high german too, Zwitzerland is divided in 4 regions, the german, french, italian and romanish; so in each part they speak each language. It is not the biggest city in Zwitzerland, and also is not the most important, but i think is the most beautiful and interesting, because it has 2 large rivers that cross the city, it has interestings medieval buildings, museums, 1 zoo, nice coffee and bar places, and a huge cultural thing to show to the people in different times of the year. No less this city is one of the UNESCO's Cultural World Heritage. The atractions of Bern are its medieval clock tower best know as cu-cu clock, its biggest gotic cathedral, the roses garden, the parks, and show the bears. Also it has a large calendary of festivals around the year as it is the "fastanacht" or carnaval in english, the chritsmas market, "frauenlauf" in english women's race, many theatres, exihibitions or musical shows like jazz. The life in all Zwitzerland is nice, the cities are very very clean, the people are not so friendly as they usually are in other places of the world but once they opened they are wonderfull people. The living there is good, the currency is one of the world's expensives, it is the swiss frank, Switzerland is not part of the European Union, so they are very good economic and lifestyle. They have very good education, everysingle people can speak at least 2 languages. The gastronomy there is very nice, they eat a lot of potatoes, cheesse, chocolate (Zwitzerland is the land of cheesse, chocolate, cu-cu clocks, watches and poket knifes) Bern and all the country are acting for saving the world, most of the people rides a bike for going to school, work and everything, most of the families have 1 car or they don't have one!, another reason for this is that they've a good method of transportation, like trains and buses.
Comparing with Cuenca, i think they are both beautiful, they both have amazing places to show the people and the world, they are both Cultural Worlds Heritage named by the UNESCO, they both have good gastronomy.
As they are similar also i think they have big differences, like the order or cleaning with the streets, the type of transportation, the climate, the language, and the lifestyle.
I choose Bern, because i made my exchange year in Zwitzerland and my home was near Bern in a little town called Alchenstorf; so i spend a lot of time in Bern, going shopping, partying, spending time with friends, knowing the city. So i really felt in love with Bern and Zwitzerland, so i wanted to exchange ideas of it to you.

Loja City

2007-10-23T17:29:00.001-07:00

San Sebastisn Tower

Loja City is situated in the south of our country Ecuador, it's slightly smaller than Cuenca but it's beautiful and interesting, you can find a lot of churches, museums, restaurants, parks, etc.

Central Park

It has 214.100 habitants, Loja is bounded on the west by El Oro y Perú, east by Zamora Chinc, north by Cuenca and south by Perú. The average temperature in there is 16ºC.

It has so many touristics places like: San Sebastian Tower, City Door, Central Park, but if you like natural places you can go to Vilcabamba which is recognized by the longevity of its habitants and warm weather; or Podocarpus National Park, both of them have very interesting things that you're gonna like.

City Door

You can find a lor of variety of typical food, but the most important and recognized is "cecinas", it is delicious and prepared with pork.

Loja city has many celebrations like: San Marcos Day, the carnival, celebration of the "Virgen del Cisne", etc.

You can go and visit museums, they'll show you the history and culture of this city. Another important place is Recreational park "Jipiro", this is very big, you'll find a a lot of atractions like a lake, a kind of small zoo where you can see a variety of animals, sports areas, pools, camping areas.

As you can see, Loja is a city with a lot of things to visit, the people is very frieldly, and you'll fell like at home.

I chose this city because I lived in there when I was a little boy, and I really liked it, because it was calm, small, you could go anywhere walking and not using the car, well but.. that was many years ago, now, some people have told that is the same city but so much better, I mean, same culture, same history, same friendly people, but with more interesting places to visit.

The differences between Cuenca and Loja are few, like kind of food they like or size, I guess there are more similarities than differences like, kind of people (race), similar weather, it has rivers crossing the city, natural parks (Cajas and Podocarpus).

MENDOZA CITY

2007-10-23T17:27:00.000-07:00

All the streets of Mendoza has a lot of trees, this vegetation is used for protect the city from the sunrises. That is the best thing I could see on this city. Also you can visit a lot of museums, when you can know the culture, the history and the traditions about Mendoza and Argentina. There area a lot of beautiful plazas and parks around the down town, you can see the see the de central park, San Martin plaza, Simon Bolivar plaza, Oggigins plaza, and others.

On this place you can see sculptures about all the heroes, who help to make from Argentina a freedom country. For all of these, I recommend you to visit this beautiful and interesting city, on South America.

NEW YORK CITY VS CUENCA CITY

2007-10-23T17:22:00.002-07:00

I would like to write down about the city of New York, i am going to say some geographical features like:

* This city is located at the southeast of New York State

* This is the second largest city in the world after Tokyo

* The people who live there, they are called the NEOYORKINOS o NEW YORKERS

* New York is knowed like the capital of the planet

Before 9/11 the Neoyorkionos were knowed like mad people, but after that the people have changed a lot,

but anyways the taxi drivers still drive like there were crazy.

Why did i choose this city??? I chose this city because i know it since i am 14, that was the first time i went there, and i loved it. So that way when the twin towers felt down it was so sad for me, i were not there by that time but when i went there the last year (2006) i could see that horrible scene, like this picture:

BEFORE AFTER

Oh well, what can we do about it, at least the people year by year has superated this, because this is a city that offer some many things to enjoy it, like the museums, the clubs, the malls, the food of each part of the world and the most important thing is that over there we have a lot of people living and working there, a lot of people of Cuenca, a wonderful city, we cannot compare this city with New York, lets say some differences:

NEW YORK CITY
One of the biggest city in the world
It has a strongest economy
The life´s people is too fast

They are a little bit cold

CUENCA CITY

A small city

Our economy is too bad nowadays

Our life here is very quited

Our people is very kind

But what i can say about these 2 cities is that if i am in New York or if i am in Cuenca i fill very good, because i have my family there and my family here, this is very important. And it doesn´t matter the differences, just care the way you see our world.

Cheers
Jhois

Cartagena

2007-10-23T17:22:00.001-07:00

I was in Cartagena on September 1, when I went vacation with my family. I choose this city because I thing that is very interesting and funny for visit. Cartagena is 2 m. on the level of the sea, has a temperature of 29º in the day and of 25º in the night. In this city the people are very friendly and funny, they use the Colombian peso and speak Spanish. Cartagena have two parts, the one is the antique city, wich is walled and there are a lot of antique houses and bussiness like restaurants, jewerlys an others. For example you can go to the San Felipe de Barajas Castle, which is the biggest military Spanish building of the New World.

Behind of this, you can Find a monument called "Las Botas Viejas", which is a honoring to one of the biggest poets of Cartagena. The other part is the New City, when there are many the hotels, the beach, clothes and more thigs to buy. In the surroundings you can find islands like Barú, where actually there are beautiful beaches of white sands, transparents waters and multicolored corals. Cartagena has varied restaurants especialized in Arabics, Chinese, Italian and French food between several.

Comparing Cartagena with Cuenca.

I thing Cartagena and Cuenca have many similarities, so the two cities were declared Cultural Patrimony of the Humanity for their antiques houses and touristic places. Also, most of the people are catolic and have freedom of worship, their system of transport is with buses and taxis and overcoat in the two cities you can find antiques houses and modern buildings like a mix of the colonial and new architecture.

As, for differences I can mention things like the weather because Cuenca is generally cold and Cartagena´s weather is very hot. Also the currency, dollars and Colombian peso, the height on the level of the sea and the poblation.

Objects Design

2007-10-09T18:02:00.000-07:00

THE WORLD OF THE DESIGN

I am an objects designer, it is not so simple as you can read. I say this because when you want to desing something you have to think about the people necessities. Some of these necessities are the comodity, the colours, the materials, the place where you are going to design and the people who you are going to design, their age and some times the way they think about they want. These things are very important because you are going to create some that will stay forever. That´s why we have to use the correct things to make the work.

This not mean that you have to create something new if it doesn´t have a real function, i mean that we have to design some that works in the real life, like furniture for the house, for the office, for a bathroom, for a living room, for the body like jewelry, it is really amazing because when you have designed something and after this the people say some good about your creation you feel so good, because you have resolved at least one necessity of that person and the most important: "you are in that creation"

As we can see in the pictures, those objects seems weird, but they have a real function.

DESTRUCTION OF THE OZONE LAYER

2007-10-09T17:54:00.002-07:00

Nature is in dangerous, every day pollution is distroying the ozone of earth, million of cars around the world, factories, industries, and many industrial products produce contamination.

Air pollution is chemical, the cause can be biological agents what can modifies the natural characteristics of the atmosphere. The atmosphere is a natural gaseous system that is essential for life of all the living species on the world.

Stratospheric ozone depletion due to air pollution has been recognized as a threat to human health as well as to the Earths´ecosistem.

Therefore all the people should to let contaminate, not using cause exaggerated, letting buy contamientes products.

Radioactive contamination is the result of a spill or accident during the production of nuclear products, the government would have to control all the research laboratories what produce contamination.

Contamination may occur from radioactive gases or liquids, if a product used in nuclaear process is accidentally spilled, the material could affect to people who is around the contaminated place.

So, the destruction of the ozone layer can be ominous for people around the world.

A good election

2007-10-09T17:51:00.000-07:00

Just now i can see what important is study and try to be someone. When i was a child i used to think that my parents were going to stay all my life with my but now when i see them older a tired i valorate each little word that they used to tell me.

My father always used to say that the best thing i can give you is the education and that`s right. He had a chidhood very hard, he had five sisters and four brothers so he had to work for help in his home. Nevertheless he became to be a great engineer and that is wonderful because with his own sacriface he did very well and now he has a family that love`s him.

So when i am in my bed at night i start to think in many many things that comes and gones times and times again in my head, and i just think if am i a good daugther????
I studied in the university and i got my degree in dentistry and now my father gives me the oportunity to travel to another country to continue studing for have a postgrade. I`m very happy but i don`t know how to tell him that i`m very scared too because i will be very far and i hate the solitude. So is something that has to have an election now but i don`t know how to choose.I want to be succesful but i don`t want suffer.

All this days and nights i think and put in a balance what is better and i know that my father wants the best for my. I just want to be someone like him.

ITS FOR TO ELUDE HIGH TEMPERATURES THEY ARE BURIED INTO SAND.HIS COLOR CHANGES TO ADAPT TO THE WAY AND THIS CHANGE ALLOWS TO BE CAMOUFLAGED, THEY FEED SPECIALLY OF ANTS, BUT ALSO THEY CAN FEED OF OTHER INSECTS AS: GRASSHOPPER, MOSQUITOS, CRICKET, SPIDER(NOT PONZOÑOSAS) AND FLIES, IT CATCHES THEM WITH HIS STICKY MOUTH. THEY ARE OVIPAROUS IT PUTS HER EGGS (14-37) IN THE HUMID AND SANDY AREAS. THE INCUBATION IS 45 TO 55 DAYS. UNFORTUNALY ONLY BORN 6 OR 10 BABIES. LIFE'S AVERAGE IS GIVE 5 YEARS. AS DEFENSE GETS INFLATE,OR EVEN IT CAN THROW JETS OF BLOOD,UP TO A METER OF DISTANCE, FROM THE COMMISSURES OF HIS EYES. IT RESTRICTS THE BLOOD FLOW IN THE JUGULA VEINS OF THE NECK. THE BLOOD INCREASES THE PRESSURE IN HIS HEAD, WHICH IT INCREASSE OF SIZE OF HIS EYES AS IF THEY WENT TO GOING OUT OF ITS ORBITS. IF THIS DOESN'T SCARE HIS PREDADOR, THE LIZARD IS TOO TIGHT A BIT MORE ITS EYES AND SHOOTS JETS OF BLOOD.

IT'S FANTASTIC!!! THE NATURE IS REALLY WONDERFULL.TAKE CARE THE NATURE IS OUR OBLIGATION...

The best train in the world is coming to Ecuador. The date is November 10th and we are ready to take it. This train has romance, show, very good musicians and a lot of “moments” that you are not going to forget.

The first wagon is full of romance. Songs like “I love you but I’m afraid”, “My friend”, “Show me your hands” and some others, are going to make you cry and remember that impossible love. You are going to remember too that unforgettable moments with your special person.

The second wagon has lights, spectacle, dancers and many things more. In a few words, with the second wagon you have the show. You are going to dance the whole night and if you are fare of the stage, don’t worry, this train has five giant screens.

The third wagon but not the last one, has all the musicians. This is the most important wagon of all the train because here is the main character of the show. The person who wrote all the lyrics that you have heard. His name is Alejandro Sanz.

EGYPT

Have u visit one of the most beatiful country of Africa!!!

SHOPPING IN EGYPT

Egypt is a wonderland of shopping opportunities. Of course, there are the famous bazaars such as the Khan el-Khalili, but then there are also thousands of unusual stores scattered in this country, and especially in Cairo, though some products are better bougth perhaps from the locale from which they are produced, such as alabaster in Luxor.
In some shops, you must haggle while in others the price will be set as u wanna. Frequently though some of the best deals at the best consistent quality is found in stores with fixed prices. For example, one might haggle over a mother-of-pearl box in the Khan el-Khalili and wind up paying a fairly low price but for an inferior products, while in a fixed price shop, one might end up paying more, but for a far superior mother-of-pearl box.

In this country there are too many places that we could visit if we travel there like:

Sharm el-Sheikh

One the most accesible and develop tourist resorts that could visit and we could be enchatment with this place, all around there are many mountais and course... the sea!!!! There are small, intimate hotels with modern designs, as well as larger hotel.

But what about the nighlife there??? welll.... soo exciting!!! One could expect of a tourist center, it including casinos, discos and nightclubs, golf courses, really the way of life its very different than us.

I believe that this country is interesting cause we can find a mixing about entertaiment, culture, history and many other things that will do of your trip unforgettable!!!!

WARNING GLOBAL

2007-10-09T17:42:00.000-07:00

WARNING GLOBAL

The term "global warming" is a specific example of the broader term climate change, which can also refer to global cooling. In common usage the term refers to recent warming and implies a human influence.

Causes:

Earth's climate changes in response to external forcing, including variations in its orbit around the sun (orbital forcing), vlocanic eruptions, and atmospheric greehouse gas concentrations. The detailed causes of the recent warming remain an active field of research, but the scientific consensus identifies elevated levels of greenhouse gases due to human activity as the main influence.

Greenhouse Gas:

There are a few causes of greenhouse gas rise.

One is natural causes such as Bacteria and animals.
They release a lot of greenhouse gases constantly such asmethane, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide.
Every time you exhale you add CO2 ththe air.
Another is geological forces such as Volcanoes.
The bigges ones are Agriculture, transportation, and industry.
These heaveadded a lot of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere.
Thus, Greenhouse Gas Rise appears to be caused by man but, it cant be proven.

Temperature changes:
Two millennia of mean surface temperatures according to different reconstructions, each smoothed on a decadal scale. The unsmoothed, annual value for 2004 is also plotted for reference.

Global temperatures on both land and sea have increased by 0.75 °C (1.35 °F) relative to the period 1860–1900, according to the instrumental temperature record. This measured temperature increase is not significantly affected by the urban heat island effect.
Since 1979, land temperatures have increased about twice as fast as ocean temperatures (0.25 °C per decade against 0.13 °C per decade).Temperatures in the lower troposphere have increased between 0.12 and 0.22 °C (0.22 and 0.4 °F) per decade since 1979.
In 2005 was the warmest year since reliable, widespread instrumental measurements became available in the late 1800s, exceeding the previous record set in 1998 by a few hundredths of a degree.Estimates prepared by the Worl Meterological Organization and the Climatic Research Unit concluded that 2005 was the second warmest year, behind

Hurricanes And Global Warming:

One of the most common misconceptions is global warming or warming of the
Earth in general causes an increase in hurricanes. Once again we do not have
anough emperical evidence to prove this but, there are alot more factors than sea
surface temperature that influence hurricane growth. A good example is shear.
Shear is the difference in winds at different heights. It doesnt matter how hot the
water is if shear is high, no hurricane will form. This is the case in the tropics most
of the time. Thus, an increase in hurricanes cannot be correlated to global
warming. As for global warming and hurricane intensity, a correlation cannot be
proven. Once again, there are other factors that control hurricane intensity than the
sea surface temperatures such as shear and land.
