The planet we live in…

The conscience of conserving the environmental is something you learn, first at home and, second, in the school. There is a lot of information about this issue in the Web.

To help to preservation the environment, some municipalities display containers of different colors to separate the organic leftover, from paper and plastic. Some supermarkets and public squares, displays containers for glass bottles and only few, for alkaline batteries.

Until today, I´m not a recycling person but, I try to use the public containers, especially for glass bottles.

When I can, I walk or use the bike to do activities near my house, in order to avoid the use of the car.

I don´t belong to any ecological organization, because lack of time, but I´m very interested in information about the negative effects of the pollutants and the most contaminant activities, to promote the care between my friends and family.

I think that everyone could do much more and I would appreciate if the municipalities would be more committed with the conservation of the environment. I would like to promote positive actions between the children of the kinder gardens of my council, in order to teach them to be conscience of the fragility of the world where they live.

I’m constantly thinking about ways to reduce my carbon footprint and transmitting the information in my family. For example, I`ve always tried to be careful with the use water, the electricity and the town gas.

I think the municipality of Santiago city is missing more information to reduce we carbon footprint and to stimulate the people conscience of conserving the environmental. 

My quickly trip to Cusco.

This an inform about a recent trip to Cusco, the ancient capital of the Inca State. The historic center of Cusco is amazing. It reflects the main ability of the Incas to build with I enjoyed very much to walk through their narrow streets and to see the Inca´s worked rocks. The most impacting ruins is the Korikancha, with its circular wall, the main Tawantinsuyu temple.

Another amazing thing of Cusco it is the food. It is an expensive, and very different. The person sells food along the roads. Many women sell “choclo” with cheese, potatoes, eggs and big quantities of different deserts.

My trip had to objectives: 1) to obtain archaeological bibliography than I need for my thesis. For this reason I went twice to the University San Antonio Abad, of Cusco and I took many photocopies and, 2) to visit the most important Inca quarries of Cusco:

 Rumiqolca and Kachiqata. From these places they obtained the rocks to build all the big construction of Cusco and Ollantaytambo, respectively.

I´m very happy with the results of my trip. I obtained what I was looking for. I hope I will come back soon, because there are many other things to see, like Sacsahuaman fortress, Machupichu and the Inca Road.

good luck!

The post gives a new method to registrate each rock of the Stonehenge prehistoric site. The technique includes a digital laser system that shows the marks that the workers made in the rocks. In almost all the cases, the rocks had a side with a very pulish surface. The opposite site, for a contrary, shows a less worked surface. The main reason for a pulish surface is to reflect the sun rays during the winter and summer solstices. So, the site has astronomical connections, and the rocks of the walls plays a very important role in this connections.

During the Middle Age, and later, many people took rocks from the site and transported them into their village to construct their homes. So, now is almost impossible to identify all the rocks that belonged to the site. Some archaeologist that visited the site said that almost all the rocks of the place were worked in their surfaces and this, make the site as a very special site.

The 3D laser scan also showed some graffiti that were done to the rocks, around 3.500 years ago, belonging to Victorian and Georgians visitors. The scan also revealed that people of the Bronze Age engrave figures like small axes in many places. There are around 170 of them.

MY OLD HOBBY

Hello! Dear classmates.

My old one is basketball. I started playing it when I was twelve years old.

I inscribed myself in a basketball class in my secondary school. I enjoyed it very much and I love it.

I remember when I was chosen, at my old school, to play in my first real champion. I was very happy and I practiced every day.  

Then my parents gave me a ball, a very especial one, because it had tree colors: blue, white and red.

I continued practicing and learning in my free time.

The most important day for me, was when I was chosen the top scorer in the champion school.

The funny thing is that I was given another ball, but this was the traditional one, complete orange.

What I loved more about playing was to use my hands in the ball control, and the group playing.

Now I don´t play the basketball, because I´ve been a very busy lady lately.

As it was my favorite play, now I want to teach it to my son. He´s three years old and he really like playing with balls, so I just hope that he loves this particular sport.
