SPECIES EXTINCTION

In biology and ecology, extinction is the cessation of existence of a species or group of taxa, reducing biodiversity. The moment of extinction is generally considered to be the death of the last individual of that species (although the capacity to breed and recover may have been lost before this point). Because a species' potential range may be very large, determining this moment is difficult, and is usually done retrospectively.

A species becomes extinct when the last existing member of that species dies. Extinction therefore becomes a certainty when there are no surviving individuals that are able to reproduce and create a new generation. A species may become functionally extinctcia when only a handful of individuals survive, which are unable to reproduce due to poor health, age, sparse distribution over a large range, a lack of individuals of both sexes (in sexually reproducing species), or other reasons.

There are a variety of causes that can contribute directly or indirectly to the extinction of a species or group of species. Extinction of a species may come suddenly when an otherwise healthy species is wiped out completely, as when toxic pollution renders its entire habitat unlivable; or may occur gradually over thousands or millions of years, such as when a species gradually loses out in competition for food to better adapted competitors.

Humans have been transporting animals and plants from one part of the world to another for thousands of years, sometimes deliberately and sometimes accidentally. In most cases, such introductions are unsuccessful, but when they do become established as an invasive alien species, the consequences can be catastrophic. Invasive alien species can affect native species directly by eating them, competing with them, and introducing pathogens or parasites that sicken or kill them or, indirectly, by destroying or degrading their habitat.

BURMA...

Myanmar, formerly Burma is the largest country by geographical area in mainland Southeast Asia. Burma achieved independence from the United Kingdom on 4 January 1948, as the “Union of Burma.” It became the “Socialist Republic of the Union of Burma” on 4 January 1974, before reverting to the “Union of Burma” on 23 September 1988. On 18 June 1989, the State Law and Order Restoration Council adopted the name “Union of Myanmar".Burma is bordered by China on the north, Laos on the east, Thailand on the southeast, Bangladesh on the west, and India on the northwest, with the Bay of Bengal to the southwest. One-third of Burma's total perimeter is 1,930 kilometres,
Burma's diverse population has played a major role in defining its politics, history and demographics in modern times. Its political system remains under the tight control of the Stat Peace and Development Council.

Burma is governed by a strict military regime. The current head of state is Senior General Than Shwe, who holds the posts of “Chairman of the State Peace and Development Council” and “Commander in Chief of the Defense Services”. General Khin Nyunt was prime minister until 19 October 2004, when he was replaced by General Soe Win, after the purge of Military Intelligence sections within the Burma armed forces. The majority of ministry and cabinet posts are held by military officers, with the exceptions being the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Labour, and the Ministry of National Planning and Economic Development, posts which are held by civilians

- Trick or Treat
“Trick or treat, smell my feet
Give me something good to eat.”

The history of "Trick Or Treating" can be traced back to the early celebrations of All Soul's Day in Britain. The poor would go to the housewives and they would give them special treats called "soulcakes".
Is an activity for children on or around Halloween in which they proceed from house to house in costumes, asking for treats such as candy with the question, "Trick or treat?" The "trick" part of "trick or treat" is a treat to prank the homeowner or his property if no treat is given.

- Pumpkin
A pumpkin is a squash fruit that grows as a gourd from a trailing vine of certain species in the genus Cucurbita. Although native to the Western hemisphere, pumpkins are cultivated in North America, continental Europe, Australia, New Zealand, India and some other countries.
In Halloween you make a JACK O' LANTERN, carving a pumpkin to sit in your door step for Halloween.

CALVINA!

In Calvina’s world, all is strange and very interesting, is a game. You have to work your imagination, is a hard challenge to your intelligence.
All begun, when two robbers plan to rob an strange and old house.
Lucrecio, “el Rata”, was waiting for his friend “el Sopa”. He waited 30 minutes and he decided to rob the house without “el sopa”.
A window was open so he cross the garden, and went into the house. He was in a dark room and suddenly the a little boy (it was a girl or a boy) open the ligths.
The girl boy know everythin about Lucrecio. The boy girl was very mysterious and Lucrecio was very scared.
I have read this book on Summer, i have read it in Spanish, but i wanted to put it in my
Blog.
I really enjoy a lot the book, is incredible the imagination of the author, Carlo Frabetti. You have to work a lot you imagination, but is a Fascinating Story.
I like it a lot, the end of the story is incredible, i think the best part is the end, cause yo know thing that you didn’t know in the beginning of the story, but you don’t konw everything. I like everything of this story, when i finish reading with one book, and i like it, i feel, really happy, ad i want to read more, with this story hapened, i want to read more of Carlo Frabetti. This book is very recent cause it was publicated in 2007, so maybe is another book of Calvina, it would de amazing.
Is brilliant, i love it a lot.
All the people who likes working his/ her imagination, have to read it, it’s INCREDIBLE and AMAZING.

It was a week, from 15 to 22 of June.
It was Incredible, we met a lot of people and we have a lovely time.
But the nost important thing is that we learn a little of Windsurf and now we want to practice, but we no teacher, but in Valencia is impossible. And we learn more of Piraguism.
The Camp it was in –El Casal D’Esplai del Saler- .
I didn’t like two things..
The food was disgusting, now i know why the teachers of School always says
that School food is better than other places, cause... IS TRUE!
And the other thing i didn’t like were the Rooms, why the girls have to sleep only with the girls and not with the Boys? Aaaagh... Because Carlos, Pablo Marina and me wanted to sleep together but they didn’t let us sleep together.
I didn’t liek this two things all the other thing were Extroardinary.
I have a great time, the teachers os Windsurf and Piraguism were very nice.
And all the teens we met where nice too.
All the people called us G4, cause we always went together, then a boy called Robert, went with us, so we where G4+1, it was funny.
Well, Winsurf is a little difficult, but Practice makes perefet, no?, So i wanna practice a lot of Winsurf cause i like it a lot.

VENICE

Italian: Venezia, Venetian: Venezsia, Latin: Venetia

I’m talking about Venice cause in October i’m goinG with Marina, her mother, My mother and my little brother Nicky.

Venice is a city in northern Italy, the capital of region is Veneto, and has a population of 271,251 habitants.
Venice's nicknames include "Queen of the Adriatic", "City of Water", "City of Bridges", and "The City of Light".
The city stretches across numerous small islands in the marshy Venetian Lagoon along the Adriatic Sea in northeast Italy. The saltwater lagoon stretches along the shoreline between the mouths of the Po (south) and the Piave (north) Rivers.
The Venetian Republic was a major sea power and a staging area for the Crusades, as well as a very important center of commerce (especially the spice trade) and art in the Renaissance. The city-state lost much of its power and importance due to the decline and fall of the Byzantine Empire, which Venice helped to destroy.
One of the most Famous things of Venice is the Carnival, all the people go with masks adn bautiful dresses, with all kind of colours and types of dresses.

I’m so excited to go, is going to be amazing, LoL...

LINKIN PARK

Linkin Park is a nu-metal band from Agoura Hills, California. They formed in 1996, and have since sold more than fifty million albums and won two Grammies.
Old-school hip-hop, traditional classic rock, and spooling electronic vibes were the initial factors behind the building of the alternative metal quintet Linkin Park.
The band's Southern Californian musical roots were also an underlying basis, for drummer Rob Bourdon, guitarist Brad Delson, and MC/vocalist Mike Shinoda formed a tight friendship while still in high school. Shortly after graduation, art student and DJ Joseph Hahn hooked up with bassist Dave "Phoenix" Farrell and Shinoda for the band Xero. Hybrid Theory came later, but the band opted on the name Linkin Park when singer Chester Bennington was the last piece added to the band in 1999.
Linkin Park have worked with lots of bands and singers like Jay- z, Metallica, Red hot chilly peppers, The Deftones...
Hybrid Theory received three Grammy nominations, for Best Rock Album and Best New Artist. A month later, Linkin Park walked away with an award for Best Hard Rock Performance for "Crawling."

Band members:

• Chester Bennington - Lead vocals, occasional guitar (1999-present)
• Rob Bourdon - Drums (1996-present)
• Brad Delson- Lead guitar, strings (1996-present)
• Dave "Phoenix" Farrell - Bass guitar, cello (1996-1999, 2001-present)
• Joe Hahn - Turntables, programming, samples, beats (1996-present)
• Mike Shinoda - Emcee, vocals, guitar, keyboard, record producer (1996-present)

PODCAAST!

What is a PodCast ~> A podcast is a digital media file, that is distributed over the Internet using syndication feeds for playback on portable media players and personal computers. A podcast is a specific type of webcast which, like 'radio', can mean either the content itself or the method by which it is syndicated. The author of a podcast is often called a podcaster. The term "podcast" is a portmanteau of the name of Apple's portable music player, the iPod, and broadcast. Pod --> refers to a container of some sort. Cast --> to the idea of broadcasting. In other words, a podcast is a collection of files (usually audio and video) residing at a unique web feed address. Though podcasters' web sites may also offer direct download their content, a podcast is distinguished from other digital media formats by its ability to be syndicated, subscribed to, and downloaded automatically, using an aggregator or feed reader capable of reading feed formats such as RSS or Atom. “A PodCast is like a webcast, but you can hear it in your web page or in your ipod”

My opinion ~> I think that a Podcast is really good fun cause, you can hear your voice in your blog and it’s funny, but the only bad think is taht i don’t know how to do it... I think that is very dificult to do it, noo? Please can you put me a comment writing your opinion, =) it would be amazing, thanks..!

BULLYING

A lot of young people have a idea of what bullying is, because they see it every day! Bullying happens when someone hurts or scares another person and this person has to defend herself, because the others childs think that if they defend him they will be bullied also.

This are a few reasons to found out why we bully:

- Because they see other people doing it.

- Because it makes you feel smarter, stronger, or better than the person you are bulling.

- Because it's one of the best ways to keep others from bullying me.

This are the ways that the people bully others:

- Spreading bad rumors about people

- Punching, shoving and other acts that hurt people physically

- Keeping certain people out of a "group"

- Teasing people in a mean way

- Getting certain people to "gang up" on others

My opinion is that,bullying is not funny, and it doesn’t make you better than others, i think that it makes you be stupid and idiot, i don’t know why the bully exist because, some young people has died cause he was bullyied... The people who is bullyied has to say it to someone, but the person who is bullying other is not tthe only bad person, the others are too, cause they are not saying anything to that person to stop, and the are laughing, and the person who is beeing bullied is feeling very bad....

BULLING HAS TO STOPP!

In Eso 2 we always make an Exchange with Carcassonne, France. In this exchange they come first, they come in Fallas, so we can show them our traditional party, and after we go to Carcassone. Is a very special week because we have a girl or a boy of other countrie, in our house, and after we go to Carcassonne...My French friend is called Estelle she is very friendly and nice with me! I had a great time with her. She is the best...

My experience:

When they came here we made lots kinds o things, We show them Fallas, Valencia, L’ocanografic, the beach, and i think we had a grat time but...

In carcassonne was even better.. We visited all kind of places, and all were very beatiful we visited, the city, “Le Canal du Midi”, the lake, the “Cité”, The haunted House (wwow, spooky LoL) were edu and Raul make me feel scared...I think we had a Lovly time, i had a perfect time...it was so speciaL * I Liked a lot this exchange cause you can practice a language and you meet people and make good friends...

IT WAS FANATASTIC, I LOVED THIS ECHANGE!!!

I miss themm!!

VOUS ME MANQUEE,

EsteLLee, Laet, aLexiia, Marie, Mahé, Lisa, camiLLe, coraLie, MariLouu, arnaud, romain, vaLentin...Jvm !

From 13 to 19 March, Valencia celebrates one of Spain's best known festivals: Las Fallas.
The Fallas are big models made out of papier mache, wood and wax, and often characaturing Spanish social and political current affairs. The models are burnt on the night of 19 March. Fireworks and firecrackers play a big paper in any fiestas in this region, and Fallas is no exception. Be careful of firecrackers being thrown along the street by youngsters. And be prepared for the ground to shake with the force of the fireworks which begins at midnight.
The are two teories about Fallas.
The festivals have been celebrated in Valencia since the Middle Ages when carpenters used to light a bonfire on 19th March, St Joseph Day. Joseph - José in Spanish - is the Patron Saint of Valencia, and St Joseph's Day is Fathers Day all over Spain. A second theory is that the tradition of lighting bonfires in honour of the saints where good for pagan people, which the Church accepted and adapted to its own interests.
The city is adorned in decorations and Fallas, and public enthusiasm takes to the streets. During the week the following ceremonies take place: the nomination and proclamation of the Fallas Queens, the Exaltation, the Crida, the Cavalcade of the Ninot, the Offering of Flowers, the Planta and the Cremá.
The Crema is the culmination of the Fallas.
