The Yulia Gorodinski´s dreams
ReplyDeleteShe is Yulia Gorodinski, who was born in Belarus. At the age of twelve, she and her parents immigrated to Israel. She actuality goes to the Israeli army and serves as a secretary to a Major in Signal Corps. She is thinking about her future. She will probably attend the University of Haifa and she will graduate with a B.A. in History and English Literature, but she is an artist too. For this reason, she thinks, she will learn photography; she believes she has talent; may be, her natural ability will shine through each image. She says, she is going to need a teacher to learn photography, it is a decision, she assures. She is going to be self-taught. She will center to shoot her self-portraits.
She loves everything vintage, she wished to live in the 50 s or 60s. I imagine her photos will present subtle background colors accentuated by reds, blues, and greens which definitely are going to give an antique feel. She dreams her work will be erotic and childlike the same time, she will use provocative and engaging elements set against serene landscapes and tranquil colors. She already knows to use Photoshop software; with this program she is going to alter certain colors in her photographs to make them appear all the more “retro.”
In addition, she will attempt to elicit a feeling of melancholy in the viewer with her photos, she will avoid showing her face, but she will be naked. I imagine asking her: why will you avoid including your face? I could think the reason is that she will feel embarrassed.
The time passed faster; from 2009, she has reached to accomplish his dreams. Precisely, tomorrow she is going to exhibit her images in Barcelona and London. Thanks to her confident and appealing self-portraitures she is going to give a commendation prize at the Digital Camera Photographer. This is perfect time to ask her about above-mentioned question, which she said: ‘There are photographs that I think look more appealing without my face in them, the viewer experiences the overall mood of the photo rather than solely focusing on the subject’s form ’. In my modest opinion, a naked body is always going to attract more attention than the surrounding elements. Regarding her work, I think a few photos are indeed artistic because of her glamour, sadness and sensuality, other are obscene and shameful; although I really appreciate the contrasting colors with background, ‘I love it´!
To finish I am inviting us to know her photos, and comment his shooting style.
WHITE HOUSE TO PRESS COLLEGES TO DO MORE TO COMBAT RAPE
ReplyDeleteThis article appeared in print on April 29, 2014, on page A1 of the New York Times.
The article talks about the problem of prevalence of sexual assaults on college campuses according to a White House task force.
The American Government conducted anonymous surveys about sexual assault cases, and the results were that a one in five female college students have been assaulted, but just the 12 percent of such attacks are reported. The reason more important for that the victims do not report the assault is that they have fear that reports will become public.
The last case was in the Eastern Michigan University; a student was sexually assaulted and killed. President Obama takes measures of prevention in the universities. He ordered that:
- Anonymous Police will monitor campus
- The government will open a website, where people can report sexual assault cases, and the identification will be confidential.
- The universities have to implement prevention programs that help to delete the campus sexual violence; otherwise, it will lose the federal funds.
- The government will give long penalties to rapists.
The article is very interesting because I can see the worry of the American Government about the problematic of sexual assaults.
I think that in Colombia is very big this problematic that I do not know if I have to write “many or much” cases of sexual violence. The Colombia´ justice is very bad because the most rapists continued in the streets, and the others are having a penalty very short. And the goverment is not worrying for the victims.
Thanks!
GLOBAL WARMING
ReplyDeletehttp://www.ucsusa.org/global_warming/?print=t
The consequences of global warming are already having significant and harmful effects on our health, our environment, and our communities. Some of these consequences are: sea level rise is accelerating, the number of large wildfires is growing, extreme storms are increasing in many areas, more severe droughts are occurring in others. Dangerous heat waves are becoming more common, because globally, the average surface temperature has increased more than one degree Fahrenheit since the late 1800s. The 12 warmest years on record have all occurred since 1998. Most of that increase has occurred over just the past three decades.
We are the cause because we are overloading our atmosphere with carbon dioxide, which traps heat and steadily drives up the planet’s temperature. This carbon come from the fossil fuels we burn for energy –coal, natural gas and oil- plus the loss of forests due to deforestation, especially in the topics. Many scientists have argued that global warming is a fact and that the only reason we are, the humans.
Therefore, If we want to continue looking the consequences of global warming on our lives and our environment, we can do nothing; but if we want to reduce the pace of global warming, and pass on a safer, healthier world to our children; we can act now and we have to: demand action from our elected leaders, take simple, practical steps to reduce our personal carbon emissions, aggressively fight misinformation about global warming and prepare our cities and communities for the growing impacts of climate change.
Thanks
You should do more paragraphs to make reading nicer.
DeleteYou should pay more attention to the words because in row three the right word is: several.
In row four, you should delete the words: the and late, to than it be so: since 1800.
You should write the first sentence of five row like this: since 1998, have recorded the warmest 12 years.
You must put a final s to the verb come because the subject of the sentence (carbon) is third person.
You must practice in your life that you have wroten in the last paragraph.
You have to talk about this serious problem with the people around you.
You must demand a good note to the teacher for this work.
You should choose the emphasis in English, because you would be a great English teacher.
And finally, you should put a photo on your g-mail.
Rain Forest For Sale ( Part one )
ReplyDelete"demand for oil is squeesing the life out of one of the world´s wildest place"
http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2013/01/125-yasuni-national-park/wallace-text
rain forest for sale was a research is done in the Yasuni park nature reserve, which is located centrally in south america Ecuador; 650 hectares of virgin forest harboring millions of species of native plants and wildlife which are in great threat because this beautiful tropical paradise has large reserves of untapped oil.
the park sits at the intersection of the andes , the ecuador , and the amazon region , where you can find rich communities of plants , amphibian , birds , and mammals. downpours are a near occurrence throughout the year and there are few discernible changes of season , sunlight , warmth , and moisture are constants.
in the Yasuni park you can find animals like howler monkey, birds woodpecker, squirrel monkeys, titi monkeys, toucans, jaguars and a variety of insects and flora, which are affordable to all the flora and fauna of the united states and canada together; is why in this park every day you will discover and learn something new.
the Yasuni park is also home to two ancient indigenous groups, Kichwa and Waorani who live in dispersed settlements along the river. living in wooden houses roofed with palm. however there are two (2) groups who resigned to live this way and prefer to wander through the forest in an area called untouchable, which was made to protect them.
the problem with the Yasuni park are its 850 billion barrels of untapped oil, which attracts oil companies since 1940 for excavation. indigenous groups have great resistance as in 1940, when they ambushed and killed 12 workers in the shell company. the nomadic clans that roam the jungle, who are now in charge of taking care of the forest.
Rain Forest For Sale ( Part 2)
ReplyDeletehttp://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2013/01/125-yasuni-national-park/wallace-text
in an interview by President Rafael Correa expressed his concern for environmental damage the oil exploration and extraction would arrive to cause; but he is also reasonable regard to social problematic "Ecuador is a poor country, we still have children without school and without health care or decent housing" for it with decision he says, I insist that we will explore our natural resources as all countries of the world do; and says: "We can not be beggars sitting on a sack of gold."
the question is, what environmental price has social development?
Personal Opinion
the problem that ecuador has is a great dilemma; For my part I would choose easily preserve the Yasuni park untouchable regardless of the consequences. and I also like to believe that it could not fully exploit nature affect it, but it is not. then Ecuador would have another option?
is also very important to preserve the indigenous communities that live there, as the Indians are the living culture of a country, so I do not like that they were threatened again by extractions and much less force them to kill again.
concluding, the social development of a country can be the destruction of a tropical paradise and its inhabitants, which also have the right to social development according to their ancestral Reviews.
Thanks :D !

ReplyDeleteWHY LISTENING TO MUSIC IS THE KEY TO GOOD HEALTH
ReplyDeleteThe following article is going to show, how music can help the body when it has an illness. Music will be the solution in health problems in the near future; it is going to facilitate the treatments and it will be better than medicines. Research is going to evidence the way how music is treating chronic back pain and brain troubles like memory loss; also advantages that it is going to have in the physic workout.
First, for back pain, music is going to work on the autonomic nervous system and also the limbic system that can react very well with classical music such as Mozart or Beethoven because these kind of music will relax muscles and decrease pain. Furthermore it will improve the physical stress, helping in lumbar pain treatment.
On the other hand, in the workout, music is an amazing tool because it is going to enhance performance, increase endurance and help to feel better. Scientists think that the best music in that case is the one that have high energy and fast tempo because it is going to help body to produce endorphins and serotonin, these are the hormones that lift mood and increase energy.
Finally, in the brain illness as memory loss, music is going to contribute with reduce this condition because the brain hemisphere that recognize it, this is very near to memory and for this reason patient with this trouble, when they are going to listen to music, they will memorize songs and they will remember these and associate these with their life.
I love music a lot and I think the research about it like treatment for illness is very certainly; because if we enjoy some kind of song or music group, we will feel better physically and emotionally; but, I guess that it does not work only for the troubles that article mention, it can work for all pain, mood and health conditions.
Link Article: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-137116/Why-listening-music-key-good-health.html
"the fabled 27 Club, or variously known as Club 27, the Curse of 27 and the Forever 27 Club, is being one of the most important classification in the history of music because many people are speaking of this. The reason is simple: a lot of musicians are dying, and all of these, when they are 27 years old, another reason is that; they are playing in an important band or are singing the same kind of music and the most important, they died in a freak circumstance.
ReplyDeleteAlthough we can find that the first death is (not yet confirmed) from Louis Chauvin (Ragtime musician, died: 26 Mar 1908), the latest of this club is Amy Winehouse that found her end in the drugs, although she was five-time Grammy Award-winning, she always was feeling depressed like if she would lost her soul. Also, some of the most notable deaths, include Rolling Stone Brian Jones (died 3 July 1969), Jimi Hendrix (18 September 1970), Janis Joplin (4 October 1970), Jim Morrison (3 July 1971) and Kurt Cobain (5 April 1994). Hendrix (), Joplin (JANIS JOPLIN (Singer, 4 Oct 1970)) and morrison's (JIM MORRISON (Doors, 3 July 1971)) death, they died within a 10-month period, and the uncanny similarity in the day and month of morrison and johnson's death, but with 2 years of difference, hendrix believed in astrology and in his mind always was the idea that he would die at age 27, and as he was an influence in amy, she was thinking that way before dying.
in the case of each of ones, death was something strange, for example the most strange of these is the Brian Jones's death he died in his swimming pool, and for this reason since years ago this case is being a controversy and it will remain. Another strange case is Richey Edwards of the Manic Street Preachers, his body never was encountered. But although their lives always were accompanied of wildness, madness, overdoses, they lived a kind of free lifestyle, and maybe some of them died for this reason other died in different circumstances like Malcolm Hale of Spanky and Our Gang was gassed by a faulty space heater, Leslie Harvey of the Scottish blues band Stone the Crows was electrocuted live on stage by a microphone, and Roger Lee Durham of Bloodstone fell off a horse.
despite, some people are saying that really the first member of this club was ROBERT JOHNSON (Blues guitarist/singer, 16 Aug 1938), although we cannot find some information about that, but many people say that they was a romantic and flirtatious man who is murdered for a jealous husband of one of his lovers.
Some pages are saying that are more than 40 musicians, but if we take a time and we seek about of this persons, we can found that some of they died when they were 26 or 28 to 29 years old, but these ages range from 27.
Certainly, this number is having many importance in our lives because its always will be repeated in mathematics, nature and religion. If we investigate deeply we could encountered a big truth, for example in mathematics the number that is most repetitive is 27, in constellations and universe the number of times
I choose this article because i'm interested know about the musical history and because this is the kind of music that I listen, they are my biggest influences and finally because my favorite singer, Lana del rey will have her 28th birthday and recenlty, in an interview she expressed her desire to enter in a 27 club, and because, Janis joplin the cosmic witch, is my idol, and always wil be.

Hello Everyone
ReplyDeleteMy article is Artificial Pancreas Shows Promise in Diabetes Test
By NICHOLAS BAKALARJUNE 15, 2014.
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/16/us/artificial-pancreas-shows-promise-in-diabetes-test.html?ref=technology
The article is showing a new way to control sugar levels in the blood, it is an artificial pancreas built on a modified iPhone, and this could be used for people with type 1 diabetes.
Treatment for type 1 diabetes is really complicated, because patients who do not use bombs, would need 2 or more insulin injections per day; they all have to carefully monitor their blood sugar by pricking the skin and blood testing. If patients are not maintaining treatment, they surely will require a medical team.
The artificial pancreas is the latest version of a device that researchers have been perfecting for years. The system consists of an iPhone 4S device associated with glucose monitoring, two pumps and reservoirs for insulin and glucagon. The patients have implanted under the skin on one side of the abdomen a sensor, which measures glucose levels in the blood, every five minutes the sensor is calculating the dose of insulin and glucagon and providing information to the smartphone. The drug is then pumped through two tubes which are embedded across the patient's abdomen. But the device still requires a finger stick twice a day to get an accurate blood reading, which the patient enters into the phone. The Dr. Russell said that the device will need a lot more work for it to be sold, and he’s getting what it need so that it could be approved.
In my opinion, this new development will help many people, I think it's a big step for humanity, and it is very good that we are using the technology to help those who are needing, and hopefully someday no longer exist any kind of chronic diseases, that are killing these days many people, and I hope to someday contribute in the world with some advance that will help others.

ReplyDeleteA guide for the perplexed.
ReplyDeleteThe world is warming, this warming is due to human activity increasing levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and are increasing serious consequences. Climate science is being viewed subjected to the judgments because in some of his theories are challenged because these contradict themselves in some of their cases. These articles are a guide to assessing the evidence, as well as a looking at the history of climate science. The articles that I will cite are two articles that talk about polar bears, climate change.
Polar bear numbers are increasing: There are thought there polar bears in 19 species of polar bears in a state of vulnerability around the Arctic, but polar bear numbers are increasing in two of these populations. Part of the problem is related to the fact that polar bears have been hunted consistently for decades. The conservation efforts include government restrictions on the hunting of polar bears in danger of extinction. The major threat to the life of the polar bear is global warming and the shrinking sea ice is becoming polar bears a threatened species. The World Conservation Union projects that in 40 years two-thirds of the current population of polar bears will become extinct.
We can't do anything about climate change: It is certainly too late to stop all climate change. There are working to achieve a sustainable energy model, capable of reducing greenhouse gases. There are in search of fast and dramatically reducing emissions of greenhouse gases and the developing countries should be opting new clean technologies allowing for a detached development increased emissions. But this is primarily a political issue. There re hope that these first steps towards a comprehensive climate policy is one of many more that we will face appropriate and timely way challenges of climate change.
But, this is not primarily a technological or even an economic problem. And in politics, most things can be done if there is the will.
Hi, everybody!
ReplyDeleteHere is my article!!
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/18/us/obama-kerry-marine-sanctuary-pacific-ocean.html?ref=science&_r=0
Obama Plans Protected Marine Area in Pacific Ocean
In an effort to protect diverse habitats of coral reefs, whales, dolphins, sharks, sea turtles and numerous fish species from commercial fishing and other activities, President Obama will announce the next Tuesday that he will intend to use his executive authority to create the world’s largest marine protected area in the south-central Pacific Ocean.
Because this move will be one of the few ways in which the president will can create new environmental protections without action from Congress. His objective will protect some of their most precious marine landscapes, just like they are doing for mountains and rivers and forests. On the other hand, Republican lawmakers are criticizing Mr. Obama for using his executive authority to create monuments on land, thus they are blocking commercial activity such as oil and gas drilling. Experts were saying that commercial tuna fishing would most likely be the only industry affected by the protected area.
In addition Mr. Obama is directing federal agencies to develop a comprehensive program aimed at deterring illegal fishing; addressing seafood fraud and preventing illegally caught fish from entering the marketplace. Black market fishing constitutes up to 20 percent of the wild marine fish caught each year around the world.
Finally, a 2013 study conducted by the environmental group Oceana found that 33 percent of fish sold in metropolitan areas in the United States were being mislabeled, with lower-cost, lower-quality fish often being advertised as higher-quality fish. For example, the study was finding that fish containing high levels of mercury, such as tilefish, were being often mislabeled and sold as red snapper and halibut.
“I think that we must care for the oceans as our life because most people think that the ocean is larger than life but we forget the damage that we make them day to day”.
So What Happened With the Camelopardilid Meteors?
ReplyDeleteThe Camelopardilid meteor storm will turn out to be more of a cosmic trickle,it will leave many onlookers disappointed and wondering what will happen? Space particles too small will result in an underwhelming sky show.
The scientists will say that they will please with observations of the event, if the shooting stars will not enough.
A lot of people will want to see the show, they will camp out under the sky, unfortunately they will see only four meteors under cloudy skies. Then someone of them will speak about their frustration.
The Camelopardilid forecasts will base on multiple computer. Earth will hit into the cloud’s densest region, and it will create a light show.
Will unexpected the most of them will make tenuous and the people will not see easily, even the people will stay in dark places.
Maybe the scientist will make a mistake whit their forecasts or maybe the meteors will are too small in size to create a visual light show.
The observes will have to keep in mind that meteor will show that still is few.
Despite the disappointment, the success will see in the moment and meteor count with this week’s Camelopardilids will point to a brighter future for the next celestial shower discovery.
Whales in danger of extinction
ReplyDeleteWhales have no natural predator, but man this being his greatest enemy.
Over time the human being is not only destroying their habitat but also that of other living beings as whales, are considering global warming and thawing of the poles is the fault of man and we are recognizing that we do something about it, but what about whales?, man is waiting to start being fined for dumping waste into the oceans.
We are learning that the whales begin their stage of reproduction between 7 and 14 years and it is frustrating that are failing to increase their numbers and therefore these species are endangered, we are training about whales and all species that are in danger and we consider that the incubation period is 10 to 16 months for only one calf is born so that efforts are being made are almost useless due to poor cooperation of man.
The waste oil and other chemicals dumped at sea are damaging the oceans which is forcing whales travel other places where human beings are also polluting why they no longer have to go and by failing to adapt to this disaster also die and are being hunted for their meat sales.
Within a short time the whales will disappear and the guilty will only human, we will later learn the value and concept of care for the environment, we will regret it when our children no longer have their own world and have to inavdir the world of others.
What I liked most of the article is that we are inviting to the oceans do not attack because we will not agustar when someone starts to take away the oxygen, there will be when we understand how they are feeling them, and what I do not like to read that are increasingly gross and we we damage the valuable things about the planet.
I chose this topic too because we are in the month of the oceans and I love whales and the turtles.

HEALING KANZAS
ReplyDeleteDeborah Franklin is a scientific American who usually writes articles of health, this way she is changing the way thinks of many people, by the same token, she is determining the great responsibility that the government have within the community , therefore she consistently provides important information about different county health rankings in some states, for this reason, this article provides an interesting investigation about political health rated by the mayor of Kansas City; he is Joe Reardon who classifies four important categories that allow evaluating the health condition in such as: health behaviors, clinical care, socioeconomic factors, and physical environment.
Mayor Reardon is thinking about two great problems: how long people live and how vulnerable they are to serious illness, therefore this situation will be to change since polices of government for this reason he is supporting a new project of education in heath.
On the other hand, I liked this article because I could learn new scientific vocabulary. However, when I read it, I thought "why the Colombian government does not think to project government plans considering that education is the basis for the economy, society and health? If the leaders would realize that a development plan is proposed to the future, our country would be prosperous and full of well-being.
Finally, I think this is a very interesting article because it allows us to think about the importance of education in health. For this reason it is necessary for countries and especially the government knows the reality. If we teach from small children the consequences and problems that occur with poor health, when they are adult, the large global rankings reflect an improvement in the conditions life.

ReplyDeletePros and cons of hosting the World Cup
The article shows the social reality of Brazil with arrive the world cup, the most big event soccer of the world. For this reason Brazil began to have many problems but this began to have advantage too.
The mean problem is the inequality because a lot of money was invests on the stadiums and a few money in social builds. So the spotlight is in the sums because many people were remove of their houses for policemen using the strong.
However, the government said that when the world cup will finish, Brazilians will can find easy job and more opportunities in differents jobs but, maybe, it is just to political promise like in Our country happens.
Is important think about the poor families, only is sure that the world cup gather much people and the problematics in Brazil will be higher. Also, the government of Brazil will not ensure the people of other countries and this government neither will ensure to the Brazilians.
I like soccer but I understand to Brazilian people because the government is thinking in be the spotlight of the world. People don´t live of soccer, people live of the daily work. Children don´t live of soccer, children enjoy it. The world cup is only one month but the socials problematics, hunger, poverty will continue to exist.
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/20/your-money/a-test-for-the-early-detection-of-alzheimers-disease.html?ref=health&_r=0
ReplyDeleteThe Alzheimer is a neurodegenerative disease, if in the future, when you have more than 50 years, you begin to forget what you did during the day and you should go to the doctor, because maybe you will have Alzheimer. But now exist a test, that helps us to know if we will can suffer of that horrible disease, It is intended to test different parts of the brain equally; it includes questions on language, reasoning, problem-solving and memory skills.
Imagine that one day we are very happy with our families, sharing happy moments and talking about important issues. And the next day not remember anything of what we did.
The alzheimer is very sad, because if you will have it, your family will suffer, in special when you don't remember anything about them, but also they'll be very bad in the economic because the treatment is very expensive, and however just help people for a specified time.
Scientists says, if you read six books in one year, and you used your memory to keep information like a phone numbers or an addresses, you will not have many chances of possess this diseases, because this strengthens the mind. , so is important be aware. Because I think that I'll want remember every moment that happened to me. In conclusion we should stop writing everything in the cell to remind us that we have to do, so we will be well into the future.
Hello everybody, this is my article about sugar problems.
ReplyDeleteSUGAR LOVE “A NOT SO SWEET STORY”
BY: Rich Cohen
http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2013/08/sugar/cohen-text
In the United States some schools authorities are feeling worried because some products that contain sugar and it is dying slowly students. For this reason this article at the moment is explaining about benefits and danger, story, advices and help. It is totally true, but in some schools in Mississippi is throwing away the coke machine, the snack machine, the deep fryer. Seven years ago was seeing the enormous problem. It is a city with rich people with a lot of money but also they are living serious health problems. They will have health crisis high rates of obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease.
In ancient New Guinean myths on the islands of New Guinea, people were picking cane and also they were eating. It was seeing like a kind of elixir, a cure for illnesses but with excess and problems.
Richard Johnson, a nephrologists at the University of Colorado was saying in this article that why is that one- third of adults have high blood pressure? And why are more and more Americans obese? But sugar is, and will be one of the culprits.
For this reason schools are working with this problem and in a future we will see news projects with students in those institutions from the United States and they will achieve their objectives.
I think that is not good, we aren´t feeling worried for this problem and in our days we aren´t eating foods with a lot of sugar. Besides is important in those moments that you are eating fruit juice with sugar fruit only. And you will not have health problems. You should read this article is very important and interesting.
Thank you!!!!
OVERPOPULATION IN THE WORLD
ReplyDeleteThis article is a research published by The National Geographic about the current situation of population growth and the effects it might have on the world. Seven billion of people so far, but it could be nine billion in 2050.That means a dramatic and very fast increase. Now,let`s see how population growth is going to chance the way our planet works. For example in the case of India,In 1952 just five years after it gained independence from Britain. India became the first country to establish a policy for population control. A national policy adopted in 2000 called for the country to reach the replacement fertility of 2.1 by 2010. Besides, according to United Nations` projections, India`s population explosion will be to just over 1.6 billion people by 2050. And according to A.R Nanda, former head of the Population Foundation of India; it is inevitable that India is going to exceed the population of China by 2030. The goal in India is not reducing fertility or population, the only objective for the government is more important it makes villages livable.
According to the Population Association of America (PAA) is one of the premier gatherings of the world’s demographers. It said that the current population of the planet could fit into the state of Texas; some concern, since by 2050 there are nine billion people living on the six habitable continents, the world population density will be a little more than half that of France today, given that There are now 21 cities with populations larger than ten million, and by 2050 there will be many more. And according to the United Nations` lowest projection for 2050, it will be around eight billion people across the planet. A bleak future, since this could cause a collapse of global civilization. Besides, human beings are living off natural capital. And this could cause a war for food. On the other hand, according to The World Bank has predicted that by 2030 more than a billion people in the developing world will belong to the “global middle class,” up from just 400 million in 2005.
Depending on this research, we shall continue to grow but we take measures precausion to prevent population explosion A not very distant but uncertain future.

This is an old but very interesting article of opinión about the Wrold Cup and the social situation of Brasil:

The FIFA WORLD CUP BRASIL 2014 is a strange mixture between the politic context and the influence of the most important event in the sport’s world. The defeat of the Brazil against Ururgay in 1950 was considered as a national tragedy. In 2007 when the Wolrd Cup stayed in the hands of Brazil the boom under the former President Lula was in full swing. The economy of Brazil was gorwing and the organization of the Wrold Cup and the olimpic games would be the icing on the cake for a country that was entered teh top of the diplomatic and economic stages.
But the situation will change thanks to the poepole who never was conformed with the politics of the Rouseff’s goverment. There is a tense atmopshere in Brazil, the people ogf the neighboors poor called favelas is often manifested, and many times we can see the pólice brutality against the people.
This world cup has implications of all, for example, Rosuseff is runing for her second goverment, and the results of the organization will give a caler panoramic about the politic future in the nation. The social problem is very important too, the police are covering all the sites where can happen porblems.
Experts think that when the Cup starts and the and not talk nothing else in the world. The Brazilian people will forget the situation and everithing will be in a tense calm. But they are worried if the selection of Brazil lost or be eliminated of the competition it is could a surious porblem. This is the most polemical event that I can remember. Undoubtedly the World cup is the most imprtant and expensive event around the world both in sports and the social and political.
EFFECTS OF GLOBAL WARMING “SINGS ARE EVERYWHERE”
ReplyDeleteThe planet is warming, from north pole to south pole, and everywhere in between.
Globally, the mercury is already up more than 1 degree Fahrenheit. And the effects of rising temperatures aren´t waiting for long term future. Sings are appearing all over, and some of them are surprising.
Hurricanes and other storms are likely to become stronger. Species that depend on one another may become out of sync. For example, plants could bloom earlier than their pollinating insects become active. Floods and droughts will become more common, could decline by 10 percent over the next 50 years, sea level rise became faster over the last century. Some butterflies, foxes, and alpine plants have moved farther north or to higher, cooler areas.
Climate change is changing our economy, health and communities in diverse ways. Scientist warn that if we don´t aggressively. curb climate change now, the results will likely be disastrous.
Although local temperatures fluctuate naturally, over the past 50 years the average global temperature has increased at the fastest rate in recorded history.
Climate change is a complex phenomenon, and it´s full-scale impacts are hard to predict far in advance, but each year scientist learn more about how climate change is affecting the planet and our communities, and most agree that certain consequences are likely to occur if current trends continue.
In addition to impacting our water resources, energy supply, transportation, agriculture and ecosystems, the united states global change research program concludes that climate change also poses unique challenges to human health.
