Bogus Trend of the Week: Dudes With Cats

The article tries to refuse a theory that wrote a girl named Abby Ellin. This theory talks about that nowdays strong heterosexual men are getting by the passing of the days cats as pets. This article said that theory hasnt enough strong arguments to make this afirmation. It says that the theory mention lazy things such as "it seems to be that the number of strong man are getting cats." Also it says that famous and rich men people are also buying this cats but the number of famous she mentioned is very confused. The article says more arguments and finally end saying that the percentage of single, straight, male cat owners isn't increasing significantly, there's no trend and therefore no story.

SHATTERED GLASS - drama

Director Billy Ray

Writer Billy Ray based on the article by Buzz Bissinger

Stars Hayden Christensen, Peter Sarsgaard, Chloë Sevigny, Melanie Lynskey, Steve Zahn, Hank Azaria, Rosario Dawson

This film is the true story of journalist Stephen Glass, the twenty something guy who quickly rose from a minor writing post in Washington, to a feature writer in such publications as Rolling Stone and the New Republic. By the mid 90s, Glass articles had turned him into one of the most sought after young journalists in Washington until a bizarre chain of events suddenly stopped his career dead in its tracks.

Shattered Glass is an excellent case study for journalism teachers, the official website comes complete with training tips. It's also a fascinating story in its own right for anyone interested in the world behind the headlines, or for anyone who works in an office (and is convinced that the geek at the next desk is a psycho). And while we do get to see that some journalists are good guys (and some could even be called human), what we don't see is exactly why Glass made up the tall tales in the first place, which leaves an essential question mark over the rest of an otherwise compelling film.

GOOGLE

Nowdays companies used to have certain organizational strategies in order to have there employees constantly motivated and in an open attitude to work. Some of them have more politics that are more attached to what the financial and economic part are, but some of them are actually pointing to what the human resources have and the importance it means to the excellent developments of there employees.

The videos uploaded in you tube, shows how the treatment in google company is working between the laboral enviroment and the employee development. Freed food, barber shop, pool tables, volleyball, massages, vacations, car washes, health doctors are some of the examples that explain better how this people are beeing treated in the company. This obviously create an importan effect; tremendous job loyalty to the organization.

But everything cant be gorgeus to this organization. Big criticizements are beeing published on the web, magazines and other different and various media fields talking about the methods google use in order to maintain there employees satisfied. They said in some manner the employees are beeing bad acostumbrated and in some time they would be less productive to the company. But this sincerely seems to be impossible to occur because google as a company receives 3 thousand applications a day so the amount of employees this organization can have with big levels of quality is very big.

Taking everything into account google obviously created a gorgeous method for maintaining there employees satisfied but they have to have certain cautions because in any momento this could be out of there hands and control.

Movie (Hitlerjunge) analysis

a) What did you think of the movie?

The movie was really a great film. The theme it takes about is so interesant and it has a kind of humor which really is so difficult to make because the movie theme is about and the epoch and situation Europe was living in the moment. The way it developes and the special form the life of this guy, (the principal of the movie), is showed is practically perfect, it maintains the audience in a constant concentration and penetration into the movie.

b) Would you be willing to deny your beliefs (religious/political, etc) in order to survive like Sully did?

Yes, I would deny my beliefs in order to survive like Sully did. Because is most important having our life in a first position than having beliefs and ideologys over it. Also i have my family and the persons who surround my life that love me and i know that if i die they will be very affected while if some of my family members dye and anybody that surrounds me and i love dye i would be very affected for a very long time evenmore the crisis knowing the person died because some beliefs and ideologies.

There's somethin' wrong

And God knows it ain't his

It shore ain't no surprise

There's meltdown in the sky

If you can judge a wise man

By the color of his skin

Then mister you're a better man than I

[Chorus:] Livin' on the edge

You can't help yourself from fallin'

Livin' on the edge

You can't help yourself at all

Livin' on the edge

You can't stop yourself from fallin

'Livin' on the edge

Tell me what you think

"Livin' on the Edge" is a song by American hard rock band Aerosmith. It was released in 1993 as the second single from the band's commercially successful album Get a Grip. The song was written by Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, and Mark Hudson. In “Livin’ on the Edge” Mark talks about his experiences with rocks’ elite through monologues, funny anecdotes, impersonations and lots of music. The stories will leave you in stitches and the songs will keep playing in your head. His colorful outfits, colorful facial hair and colorful wit will hook you right from the start.
The song received much critical acclaim and won a Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal for the year 1993. The popular video for the song earned the band a Viewer's Choice award at the 1993 MTV Video Music Awards.




What the Critics Say
Get a Grip turned out to be one of Aerosmith's most contrived and contemptible records, but fans never would have known from advance EP Livin' on the Edge, which whips out two extra, exceptional treats. First, two stripped-down demos of the apocalyptic, Yardbirds-referencing "Livin' on the Edge" bring out the quintet's individual contributions much clearer than the glossed-over album version. And the dilapidating finale fits the song better as well.
Doug Stone, All Music Guide



OUR OPINION
We decide to choose this song because we can understand many things that are wrong in the world, and bring some possibilities that not are explicit in the song, to solve these big problems. In the same way with the lyric we can see some of the reasons of why the world has these changes. We Think that It´s a good song that represent many feelings of the modern society, for example don’t see beyond of the reality, that have like consequence that when people solve problems don’t bring the best solution. On the other hand we need to learn to understand the other people and their beliefs, and the song show the importance of this aspect. Like a consequence of this discrimination, we can see many wars in the world for this reason, then is very important to learn to accept the other people with their beliefs and probably, we can life in peace and in a better world. Furthermore we need to fight with the racism, other method to discriminate, because in some cases we offend people without realizing, and this probable cause that the world doesn’t evolucionate at maximum. To conclude we need to understand some things of the world, and learn to tolerate to all the people, and if we can do that, we can life in a better world.

Paragraph - photocopies 36.

Hyper parenting may be predominating as a life style between pushy parents and children. First of all, the parents in majority, are thinking that overstimulating children at general in all the ages by using special toys and classic music would be an excellent tool for developing their ideas and creativeness. To begin, the parents should leave the childs develop their own ideas and be them, the ones who discover the life by adquiring new experiences day by day in a cotidianity life. Also, the parents have to recognized the children are getting such a high level of intelligence leaving behind healthy activities like sports, theater, physical education, other kinds of music, movies and others that also give a child a better quality for understanding the world and its changes. In addition, parents most leave that thougth of feeling pressured for educating their childs in a good way, they just have to let them go and live their lifes in a free way. Thus, hyper parenting brings serious consequences in a future such as no capacity for socializating with new people and autism.

ARTICLE - Latin America Is Priority on Bush Trade Agenda.

By Anthony DePalma, New York Times ~ December 18, 2000

http://www.1worldcommunication.org/globalization.htm#Latin%20America%20Is%20Pr

Summary

This article as you can understand, was published in the New York Times in December 18 of the 2000 year. By the time when President elected George W. Bush considered the western part of the world an opportunitie for making in his first year, Latin America a trade and foreign policy priority. He said by the 2005 year that a free trade agreement of the Americas would be signed. This proposal would make a group of 34 of the countries in North, Central and South America into what President Clinton once said would be "the world's largest market. In the process of negotiating, Bush have been dealing with some strong opposition at the agreement. In examples there are latin american nations such as Brazil that fear that labor and environmental standards attached to a trade deal could be used as protectionist shields by american businesses that feel threatened by latin american competition. In a certain manner Bush used the "bad" Clinton administration for using it as an advantage for his campaign. In a conclusion, during the campaign, Mr. Bush talked about developing a special relationship with Mexico, which is one of the few foreign countries he has ever visited. Referring more over to all of Latin America, he said he would "look south, not as an afterthought but as a fundamental commitment of my presidency."

Accelerated learning

M ind set to positive
A cquire the knowledge
S earch out the meaning

E xhibit what you know
R eflect on your learning

Learning is doing. The activities are designed to use the brain and thats why it is called "brain friendly learning". You use imagination and creation of pictures and stories in your head. Your using V.A.K. (visualization, audiotry, kinostatic)

VAK. seeing things, talking about things, doing things. And when you do this you get involved your brain into Multiple Intelligences.

Multiple Intelligences. that becomes fun and with creativity using the full power of the brain. Its fun because is something you enjoy and youre good at. Its practically a system the relationship that is created between "enjoy" and "good at".

1. What are the seven ways to increase your brain power according to Dr. Mercola?

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=M5gHrrb41ls

1. Exercising: When youre exercising youre increasing the blood fluying oxygen to your brain. This helps thinking clearly and sharper besides you become more creative. Exercising also help to promote the growth of new brain cells.

2. Getting outside continously specially in the daylight: youre exposing to 15000 hundred different wave lines that would pass through your eyes, back to your retina and then to the brain. Freshair is also an important characteristic from getting outside.

3. Getting a goodnight sleep: Between 6 and 8 hours, named the sweet spot. The new research shows that when you get less than 6 hours a sleep continuosly day by day you are getting a high tendency for getting diabetes. But if you exceed the time of a sleep more than 8 hours that also is going to be a problem. The time when youre going to sleep is also very important. You definitely want to go to bed before midnight. Even before 9 pm will be a good option for many people.

4. Staying away from processed foods: 90% of the money that americans spend on food is processed food. We need to eat more fresh, more organic food to be able to avoid very nasty things, specially some of the new things that are being introduced in our food supply which is GMO`S that are modified foods. Also stay away from sugar that generates in a certain cuantity alzheimer.

5. Improving your fat content: 60% of the brain is composed of fat. Take a high cuantity of fish oil every day. That will help to improve the ability of your brain to function.

6. Keep your brain active: As the body needs physical exercises your brain needs mental exercises. Doing memory games would help to keep your brain mantein sharp and prevent diseases like alzheimer.

7. Implement creative visualization techniques: improve your learning, memory and motivation. Some of the importan tools are the principals like EFT (Emotional freedom techniques).

A recomended helpful tool to implement this is a movie called "the secret", about the law of atraction, have very powerfull images and illustrations and graphiclly demonstrates how must of us focus on negative areas. The law of atraction says that in whatever we put the most attention that would be the area we will be living and living by the passing of time so if we focus on the things we really want and positive zones of our life we will be able for achieving our goals and objectives of our lifes.

Human Experience or advanced studys? ESSAY

The medical science is becoming day by day, in terms of technology, the most advanced and developed study. While the alternative medicine stays and base in what their ancient and historical knowledgments propose, furthermore, ligated to a disadvanced but trustfull technology. Nowdays the medical science has more clinic points in which people can go and trust there health to professional and specialized doctors in comparisson with the alternative medicine, which the number of doctors, by major and career, dedicated to this science or study is very low. This occurs because the bioenergetic medicine does not provide serious knowledgments that much. In opposition, the experience this medicine has, through the passing of the years, has been demonstrating, their ideas are complete for having any type of pacient with any kind of sickness. So, by this means, the point in discussion is; ¿will be a positive decision, to trust in the alternative medicine like the science that will give you/us the better health care?

The medicine in Colombia seems to be a representative item in terms of education. Most of the the serious and recognized universitys from Colombia and the world in general have been developing majors in medicine sciences. Graduating excellent doctors with specializations in some emphasis of the human body. In examples it can be: heart doctor, general doctor, kids doctor, eyes doctor, ears doctor and the rest of them that much of the people know them. While the alternative medicine as a major, requires strange schools dedicated to this area which certifications and garantees are totally in doubt. The technology the medicine science has been developing day by day since a very long time has been passed through a quality system control, that later on, in clinic points and hospitals, have a longer work life line than the technology that manages the alternative medicine. Which is in a certain way, poor and old.

Actually, the medicine in general in Colombia is cheaper than in many of the American countrys. The medicine science can be more expensive than the alternative medicine but the garantees are more and the quality does not compare in an equal way.

Taking everything into account we can conclude the medicine science has more experience and has like work tools, mechanisms that are being studied day by day certifying the good functioning and the better attention. While the alternative medicine can have old knowledgments that give maybe in certain situations and cases good results but in a longer period of time is better decision trusting in the advanced technology and serious doctors that has been studing for a long time to be in what they are developing in hospitals and clinic points.

Some of the estrategies the most powerfull nations use to break the stabilization of the economy, social and political structure of their enemies are:
- the penetration of big local businesses to the foreign markets with economical help to start with low prices and create what the dumping effect is

- the creation of new wars with out sense for having an excuse to irrespect the soberany of the affected countrys and enter to there territorys.

1st weekly entry

In this week i reviewed what an argumentative essay should have. Having into account what rethorical structure and order an outline may have. Some continuos forms in exercises i had them well done but few of them i had them wrong from single mistakes. So i have to practice more exercises for being perfect at doing the continuos forms. In listening we practiced also with some persons that were talking about different themes and positions they have about it. But they were british people so the listening was kind of difficult. But i have to learn any kind of english in what listening refers, so i have to practice that a lot. On thursady i saw and i learned much of the academic things the studium have and also to read the instructions complete and have them into account for any exercise.
