Pixar world

There are a lot of movies we see on Disney which we love. You might already know those wonderful movies are from one particular studio called Pixar Animation Studios.

Pixar Animation Studios is an American animation company specializing in the production of 3D graphics, bought by Disney and based in Emeryville, California (USA) computer. Throughout its success story has garnered numerous awards for his short films, feature films and technical achievements, awards and 27 Academy Award seven Golden Globes, Grammys or seven eleven Annie Awards.

Pixar was the creator of the first commercial computer-animated feature film entirely, Toy Story, whose premiere took place on November 22, 1995 in the United States. After Toy Story films presented other 13: A Bug’s Life in Miniature (1998), Toy Story 2 (1999), Monsters, Inc. (2001), Finding Nemo (2003), The Incredibles (2004), Cars (2006), Ratatouille (2007) WALL · E (2008), Up (2009), Toy Story 3 (2010), Cars 2 (2011), Brave (2012) and Monsters University (2013). It also has three other projects in production: The Good Dinosaur (2015), Inside Out (2015), Finding Dory (2016) and Day of the Dead (film) (2016)

The think that I love the most about this Studio is that they produce a lot of very interesting, catching, well designed and profound movies and films.

I honestly like movies but I LOVE their films.

Here are some of the ones that catch my atention the most:

1. Partly Cloudy

It’s a lovely and nice short film that shows us that a good friend will never let you down.

2. Geri’s Game

Oldie but goodie, this is one of the first films of pixar that I’ve seen. It’s very interesting and catching, very crazy and funny. It has a lot to share.

3. Jack Jack Attack

This is one of the funniest for my taste, it’s very nice and entretaining, it might not have a moral but it’s very, very funny, haha. 🙂

For not let them out I’ll add finaly three of the pixar movies that I prefere

1. A bug’s life

Just as Geri’s game, this is a movie that I consider oldie but goodie, it’s very nice.

I got to admit it, when I was a child I was scared of the grasshoppers but when I saw it as teenager I liked it a lot. Basically because of the argument that a little ant can do a great change, that not just in a movie, but in daily life, with ants, dogs, humans, etc.

2. Toy story

This movies are just my generation’s childhood. We can’t ignore the fact that we went like crazy to see the first movie and we loved it, the same with the second one and don’t forget the way 20s’ people runned to see the third one.

3. Wall-e

Wall-e is simply a lovely character and the move itself a HUGE lesson for life.Our world is deteriorating from time to time and we gotta do something now.

These are just a little test of what the Pixar world is about. I hope you enojoyed it and share my opinion in some way, please, comment your preferite move here and share your experiense!

See you next time! 🙂

My favorite class

Hi, today’s post will be about what is my favorite class and some of the reasons why. 

My favorite class at school is not really a class, it’s actually an elective class in the high school that I assist.

This tetra I first put myself into yoga and I loved the class at first but for some personal reasons I didn’t want to keep going so I changed to a Self Defense class and I loved it even more. 

In this class we see a lot of techniques and excersises that helps us to have better coordination. The teacher teachs us how to react in a daily situation case. 

In this image it’s represented what I mean, In a daily basis you wouldn’t be alert or merely dressed for a Kung Fu combat but this class teachs us how to act and specific techniques to apply when you are in skirt, in heels. There are a lot of movements that can be easily applied and will help you a lot. 

For these reasons is that I am considering getting into an academy to learn more about Kung Fu and other techniques.

This is all for today. Hope you liked it! 

Bye. 

Aurora borealis

What is the Aurora borealis?

Officially known in the Northern hemisphere as the aurora borealis, the Northern Lights are natural phenomena featuring beautifully colored light displays over the Earth.

In 1621, a French scientist, Pierre Gassendi, saw the lights in the north and named after the Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora. He added the word “borealis” for the Roman god of the north wind, Boreas.

In the southern hemisphere, they are called aurora australis, meaning “southern.” The lights are usually seen after dusk near both poles.

How are they formed?

Although they look elegant and calm, aurorae are produced from millions of explosions of magnetic energy.

The Aurora Borealis is made when storms on the the sun form solar winds, or large streams of charged particles streaming toward the earth.These streams could have upward of ten million megawatts of electrical power. That is enough power to light up Los Angeles. It generally takes about three days for these streams of particles to reach the earth’s upper atmosmere, or ionosphere. When these charged particles hit the earth’s atmosphere, they exite the atoms contained in the atmosphere.

These excited atoms have a higher energy state that usual and so want to get back to a more normal energy state. The excited atoms give off excess energy in the form of heat, or the case of the aurora borealis, light. The trillions of excited atoms give off enough light so that we can see the light from where we live on the ground, 43-200 miles above us. Below is a picture of the sun giving off a solar flare: the source of it all!

Bermuda Triangle

The Bermuda Triangle has created a buzz when ships and aircraft started disappearing within its area without any explanation. Today, there are over 1000 ships and 20 aircraft that have disappeared in Bermuda Triangle. There have been no traces of the disappearances and no evidence to explain why these accidents happened. Some people believe that the mystery is caused by supernatural phenomenon and that the devil may be blamed for all the deaths of innocent people who were led in the Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil’s Triangle.

Where is the Bermuda Triangle?

The Location of the Bermuda Triangle

The triangle’s area lies between the north-Atlantic island called Bermuda, San Juan and Miami. Each side of the triangle covers 1000 miles of seafloor. However, some researchers have various description of how wide the triangle is. Some believe that the Bermuda Triangle goes all the way to the Caribbean islands to the Gulf of Mexico and Azores, making it over one million square miles.

Why is it Called Bermuda Triangle?
At first, people called it the Miami Triangle but Florida would not agree with the name with the fear of losing their tourists. Puerto Rico Triangle was the second name that came up but Puerto Rico also objected. When the triangle was named after the small island, Bermuda, no one bothered to object since the island is also referred to as “Isle of the Devils”. Since 1960, the triangle has been called the Bermuda Triangle.

There are already a lot of theories and thoughts about the Bermuda Triangle cases, here it is 8 of the several theories (provided by http://www.yurtopic.com/) about this mith:

8 Theories that Explain the Bermuda Triangle Mystery 

1)  Supernatural Explanations of the Disappearances

The Lost City of Atlantis re-surfacing

Atlantis – Because there were no satisfying explanations for the mystery of Bermuda Triangle, writers started blaming the mythical city of Atlantis. Because of the legend of Atlantis that says the city depends on powerful special energy that could malfunction the navigational tools of airplanes and ships, some people believed that the Atlantis could have caused the disappearances. However, when the floors of the Bahamas were studied, there was no evidence that could prove this theory.

UFO flying over waterUFO – This theory was taken from Steven Spielberg’s imagination when he wrote about one of the aircraft which disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle (Flight 19) on his book “Close Encounters of the Third Kind”. The book described that the aircraft was abducted by aliens.

These supernatural theories do not really give good explanations for the disappearances but they were believed by a lot of people in the past.

Theories that Explain the Mystery
Sargasso Sea. This sea is located in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle and is also the culprit of some of the disappearances of ships in the past. The sea is strangely calm and warm. People also find it weird that after the disappearances in this area, the ships would reappear in a very poor condition without a single person in them. There is however one case when an American named Ellen Austin discovered a moving ship in good condition. He sent some of his crew over to the other ship and found out that there is no one in there. After a couple of days, the two ships were separated by a storm and the other ship was gone along with Ellen’s crew. Since then, the ship was never seen again. Ellen reached New York after 2 months of a journey.

2)  Methane Gas – According to Dr. Ben Clennell, the high volume of methane gas in the ocean floor of Bermuda Triangle lowers the density of the water. As a result, ships that pass by the triangle can drop to the ocean floor. Also, because the methane gas is flammable, it is possible that the aircraft flying above the waters of the Bermuda Triangle can fire up and get destroyed completely.

Methane gas bubbles are built when sea organisms die and decompose. These bubbles grow bigger as they travel up to the surface of the ocean. Sometimes the bubble grows as big as a ship and when a ship finally passes over it, the bubble blows up, envelop the ship and pulls it down to the bottom of the ocean. The explosion of methane gas bubbles on the water surface can also cause aircraft and planes to catch on fire.

compass and map3)  Compass Theory – Compass points to the magnetic north, which today is located in Sverdrup Island in Canada, and not to the North Pole. These two locations are 1500 miles away from each other. However, if a ship passes through some areas of the Bermuda Triangle, the gap between North Pole and the magnetic north closes. As a result, the compass points to the real north which is not normal at all and leads the navigator to the wrong way. This explains why some of the aircraft and ships were led to the Bermuda Triangle and got into deep trouble.

4)  The Gulf Stream – This stream is a river underneath the edge of the Bermuda Triangle. The Gulf Stream has high wave heights that are even higher beneath it. It also usually has thunderstorms and clouds over it. This stream is believed to have carried away a lot of ships and aircraft so that they could not be found where they originally sunk or crashed.

5)  Electronic Fog – This type of fog is formed above the ocean. It is gray in color and is made up of electronic fields. The fog consumes aircraft or ships and moves along with them until their navigational and communication instruments get disabled. These electronic fogs have also been described by the SOS calls made by veteran pilots and captains who were victims of the Bermuda Triangle.

6)  Weather – Bermuda Triangle is known for having violent storms that can last for a few minutes but are very intense that they can destroy ships completely. The Atlantic is also prone to hurricanes that can sink ships that are caught in it. Aside from that, the triangle has waterspouts that can be the culprit of lost ships and aircraft.

7)  Large Waves – Bermuda Triangle is calm most of the time but large and dangerous waves may appear and swallow up large ships. Research reveals that waves as high as 30 meters can sink a large ship. Though this phenomenon is rare, some seas have proven to have freak waves more often.

8)  The Deep Floors – Some of the world’s deepest trenches are found in the floors of Bermuda Triangle. The floor of the triangle is made up of gentle slopes which take an immediate deep drop. Some researchers believe that the aircraft and ships that were led to these areas of Bermuda Triangle can never be found.

Aside from these theories, scientists are formulating more explanations for the disappearances within the triangle. They also believe that factors such as magnetic fields and underwater earthquakes can also answer some of the mysteries surrounding the Bermuda Triangle.

 

Here’s one great documentary that explains some of the discoveries about the Bermuda Triangle:

Do you want to know more interesting facts? Watch out!

 

My opinion:

In my opinion, I think that, as other “supernatural cases” such as mermaids and stuff, the Bermuda Triangle does exist but might not be caused because of this “supernatural” reasons.

There must be a real and absolute reason for this situaction but people often see as not natural everything that they haven’t seen before.

Someday, this mistery might be solved and the truth will come to light.

 

Computer video games

With the pass of the years, technology have given video game players several ways and oportunities to satisfy their hobbies. 

Video games have had passed through several changes, don’t forgiveing about those big machines which used to take away a little child’s money in one afternoon. 

Now a days there’re several ways we can play this games but in our own computer!

Computers now a days are wonderful. They allow us to have whether work stuff, hobbies and fun!

Here are some of the types and ways you can access to computer video games: 

1. One of them is to simply look for the video game you’re wanting in internet and download it to your PC. There are downoadble video games of a lot of things. 

One of the ones I use to play are pokemon, mario, pacman, zelda, etc. You can find several more!

2. Play them through the several social web that internet offers you. Some of them could be Happy Pets, Farm ville, and a lot more…

3. Another idea is to play directly in internet, at online games. 

I remember the day I spend long hours playing clothing video games. They’re awesome. 

There’s no excuse for not playing video games. With today’s technology you have a lot of variety to choose and enjoy. 😉 Try some of this and If you’ll like, recommend your favorites in the coments below! See you next time. 😀 

The 5 generations of robots

As we know, robots have had become a must in our everyday life and with the pass of the years they’ll be even more in quantity and more advanced. 

But, did you know that before this advanced machines, robots weren’t that developed? 

There are stated that robots have had pass through 5 generations and we’ll analize some of them. But first, do you know what does robotics mean?

Robotics is the root of the technology that encharges about the design, construction, operation, and aplication of computational systems and robots for its control and process of information.

1G Manipulators: 

Robots at this time didn’t noticed their surranding. They adquire limitated information and act in consecuence of it.

2G Learning robots

Robots have developed a retroalimentation system that let them to obtain data of the environment and save them in a data basis with instructions.

3G Robots with sensorated control

Robots autoprogram themselves. They’re controlated or computarized to analyze the information taken from the environment. 

4G Inteligent robots 

Better sensorial systems, strategies of control and analysis of information. They’re capable of comprehend their surranding and act for them.

5G 

It incorporates 100% the artificial inteligence and use conduct models and a new arquitecture of subministron. 

This is a totally new generation of young people interested in robots, a new generation of robots that wait for us… 

Home made deodorant: Natural protection for everybody

Now a days, most beauty products, make up and cosmetics, including shampoo, face cream, body washes, lotions and deodorant, are full of toxic and cancer causing ingredients, and harmful chemicals.

In fact, we aren’t even sure how many chemicals you might actually be absorbing because it is not mandatory for cosmetic companies to list all the ingredients in the product on the labels.

As happens with many products on the market, commercial deodorants often contain various chemicals that damage your skin first, your organs second, and your health forever.

Here’s a quick and effective reciep for you to prove this idea and start protecting yourself from this chemicals:

“Three simple ingredients keep you safe from cancer!”

Ingredients

> Baking soda

> Corn starch

> Any oil that you like (We recommend coconut oil)

Note: Be sure the oil you choose is proper for skin application.

Optional You can also add essential oils useful for adding value. Examples:

* Antibacterial oil (tea tree, lavender or eucalyptus), will prevent the proliferation of bacteria and toxins from the sweat of the environment.

* Antifungal oil (tea tree, peppermint, eucalyptus or sandalwood), whose function is to prevent the growth of fungi.

Add 10 drops of what you prefer.

* Aromatic or fragrance (lavender, vanilla, plum, orange, etc.) To give oil smell.

Add to taste.

* Vitamin E oil for skin care.

Add 2 tablespoons.

 

Procedure

1. Measure out (depending on the quantity needed) the same portion of baking soda and corn starch.

2. Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl.

3. Add coconut oil and mix until a thick but easy to apply paste. It should have a normal bar deodorant consistence.

4. Put the dough into an old deodorant applicator or in a wide mouth jar with your fingers to apply if preferred.

You’ll be able to learn more about this and other topic soon in this page.

Apply this deodorant when necessary. Coconut oil is rapidly absorbed by the skin when you do not use too much.

You can store the deodorant in the refrigerator to keep it solid. However, if the cold irritates your skin, you can rub some of the mixture gently with fingers armpits.

It is recommended to store the deodorant in a glass container to prevent refrigerator odors and keep it in a better shape.

Famine in Africa

It is probable that we have had noticed the problems that Africa is affected by. Poberty, diseases, etc, but one of the worst ones is famine… 

But, what is famine? Let’s see… 

Famine, according to the UN, is the “triple failure” of (1) food production, (2) people’s ability to access food and, finally and most crucially (3) in the political response by governments and international donors. Crop failure and poverty leave people vulnerable to starvation – but famine only occurs with political failure. 

According to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification Reference Table (the standard used by the UN), famine occurs when the first three of the following conditions occur:

 

  • 20 percent of population has fewer than 2,100 kilocalories of food a day
  • 30 percent of children are acutely malnourished
  • Two deaths per 10,000 people, or four deaths per 10,000 children per day
  • Pandemic illness
  • Access to less than four liters of water per day
  • Large-scale displacement
  • Civil strife
  • Complete loss of assets and source of income

The Horn of Africa crisis in 2011 was labelled as the worst in 60 years, caused by a combination of sustained drought, swiftly increasing food prices and escalating conflict in Somalia.

In Somalia years of internal violence and conflict have been highly significant in creating the conditions for famine. 

“The world produces enough food to feed every man, woman and child on earth. Hunger and malnutrition therefore are not due to lack of food alone, but are also the consequences of poverty, inequality and misplaced priorities.” – UNICEF Deputy Executive Director, Kul C. Gautam

In my opinion, as the quote says, there’s enough food for everybody in the world but no body cares about these people.

My favorite food: pizza

Hi everyone! Today is a very special day because I’ll introduce to you…

My favorite food!

Pizza! (:

Let me tell you a little bit of my story with this georgeous dish.

Long time ago, when I was a little child, I used to LOVE pizza and spaggetti as most of the children everywhere. It’s not just only because everybody loves it but because it’s taste. Even the comercial one’s don’t do the original italian reciep, pizza, almost everywhere it’s soo tasty.

The delicious bread. The wonderfull cheese and a good pepperoni, jam or bacon. Mmmm… Delicious!

Even that, when my brother started to cook and I tasted the real pizza reciep (italian one) i never wanted to eat comercial pizza anymore but since a few days ago I started to love any kind of pizza just as when I was a child. (:

 

My friend Paula and I are doing pizza next week! Hope it goes well and may be I’ll share some photos with the final result.

Here’s the reciep we are going to use:

 

See you next time! (:

Every 15 minutes a teenager dies from drunk driving

Americans take 233 billion trips in cars each year. Of those, about one out of every two thousand trips are taken by those who are driving under the influence of alcohol.  Yet, almost one out of every three traffic deaths involve drunk driving.

So a proportionally tiny amount of bad behavior is one of the major causes of death and injury on our roadways. 

Every 53 minutes on average, someone is killed in a drunk driving crash (9,878 people in total in 2011).  Every 90 seconds, someone is injured because of this entirely preventable crime.  You can learn more about drunk driving in your state.

About one-third of the drunk driving problem – arrests, crashes, deaths, and injuries – comes from repeat offenders.  At any given point we potentially share the roads with 2 million people with three or more drunk driving offenses.  Taking away their licenses isn’t enough; 50-75% of them drive anyway.  This is why we need to require ignition interlocks for all drunk driving offenders – we can stop these offenders before they repeat their crimes.

Two-thirds of the drunk driving problem comes from people who, before they kill or injure themselves or others, have yet to be arrested.  That’s why we need to support law enforcement to help deter drunk drivers through proven solutions like sobriety checkpoints.  It’s also why we strongly support research into technology that will eliminate drunk driving.

We need your help to eliminate this threat – please join us in the fight against drunk driving.

More stadistics: 

In my opinion, most of the people know all the damage that alcohol causes to your organism and not only that but to other’s safety. It’s a big responsability to take people with you when you are drunk because you are exposing everybody and yourself to the damage everybody knows a drunk driver can cause.
