Movies
It’s
sometimes hard to choose a film that fits your mood purely on the basis of the
poster or the description on the cover of the DVD. That’s why I wrote this
review of the most depressing and the most uplifting film I have seen. They are
Marley and Me and Grown Ups 2, respectively.
Marley and Me is a touching comedy about the lives of a dog,
Marley, and it´s owner John (Owen Wilson), and their relationship. It starts
right before John buys Marley as a present for his wife Jenny (Jennifer Aniston)
because he didn’t want to have a baby. It shows how their lives develop, as
well as their bond with Marley. The movie has funny moments, but it also has
some really depressing ones, and that’s why I see it as the most depressing
film I’ve ever seen.
As Marley and Me, Grown Ups 2 is a comedy. It is about a group of friends that, after
reuniting 20 years after their graduation (in Grown Ups 1), move to their hometown and decide to organize a party
in the house of one of them. I chose it as the most uplifting film because I
couldn’t stop laughing at any moment of the movie. Something that makes this
possible is its great cast, with iconic comedians such as Adam Sandler, Kevin
James, Chris Rock and David Spade.
I really
liked both of them, as they are great films, and recommend them both. Perhaps, Marley and Me is more suitable if you
want to chill and enjoy a good movie, while Grown
Ups 2 is perfect for laughing and having a good time.

Los sentidos
Los sentidos nos diferencian y nos hacen ser lo que somos.
Al evolucionar los primeros seres vivos en ambientes acuáticos, la mayoría de
nuestros sentidos surgieron originalmente para ser utilizados bajo el agua.
Visión
La visión es el sentido más importante para el ser humano.
Hace unos 800 millones de años, los seres vivos acuáticos
desarrollaron un cáliz recubierto de células sensoriales capaces de percibir la
dirección de la cual provenía una luz y movimientos cercanos.
Ese caliz evolucionó a lo que hoy son los ojos, con la aparición de las fosas orbitarias.
Los primeros anfibios podían "enfocar" la vista, ya que poseían un grupo de músculos que comprimían el ojo contra el fondo de la fosa ordinaria para ver de cerca y que lo liberaban para ver de lejos.
Los mamíferos enfocaban mejor la vista, ya que aplanaban su cristalino para ver lejos y lo relajaban para ver de cerca.
En los primates que habitaban los árboles apareció la visión binocular, que les permitía medir distancias con exactitud, aunque tenía una menor amplitud que la de los mamíferos.
El color blanco de la esclerótica permite ver hacia donde enfoca la vista el otro. Los perros y los humanos comparten la esclerótica blanca. Es probable que se haya producido una evolución paralela por la relación social existente.
Oído
El oído es fundamental para el ser humano, ya que somos animales sociales que dependemos del lenguaje hablado, y este sentido permite la comunicación oral.
Este sentido está muy relacionado con el equilibrio, ya que al ser nuestros antepasados marinos, estos percibían las ondas sonoras (debajo del agua) con un órgano desarrollado para el equilibrio.
Gusto
El sabor es el conjunto del gusto y el olfato. En la prehistoria, los animales usaban el gusto para diferenciar entre alimentos sanos y peligrosos.
Al sentir el sabor salado o dulce de los alimentos podemos decir que se encuentra en buen estado. Mientras que el amargo y el ácido ocurre cuando están en mal estado o dañinos, ya que tienen bacterias.
Olfato
La nariz es el principal órgano olfativo del humano. Algunos seres vivos (abejas, mariposas) tienen sus órganos olfativos en las antenas.
La nariz despegada del rostro le permitió al Homo erectus una mayor entrada de aire tanto cálido como húmedo. Ademas de su valoración estética característica del ser humano por ser un animal social, ya que es la facción más destacada del rostro.
Una persona puede identificar muchísimos olores, aunque estos no tengan nombre, ademas de usar el olfato para saborear alimentos.

Dexter
I have seen a series which I consider a strong candidate for the "Best Series Ever" award: "Dexter". I utterly enjoyed it, as it is a great mix of drama (in a higher percentage) and comedy.
 |
| Dexter Morgan |
Dexter is a drama about a forensic (Dexter Morgan) who works for the Miami Police by day, and is a reckless serial-killer by night. All along its eight seasons, it shows how his life evolves and how his actions affect him and the ones he loves. It is an almost perfect combination between drama and comedy, very vividly portrayed by its great cast. It is really thrilling and it has various touching scenes. The only drawback I can find (to it) is that it is a bit clichéd in its last two seasons, as it seems that the screenwriters lost a bit of their imagination.
In conclusion, I strongly recommend it for everyone who likes a good drama, despite its bad things, which are almost none.

¿Es así o no la evolución?
En la materia de Biología, buscamos alguna publicidad de la televisión que hablara sobre la evolución y, a partir de lo estudiado, analizamos si la idea que plantea sobre este proceso es correcta no.
La publicidad plantea una idea errónea de la evolución. Esto
es así porque, en la explicación que la nena da, esta dice que las bacterias
“cambian”, volviéndose mejores. Lo que en realidad sucede en el proceso de
evolución no es que las bacterias cambian, sino que se favorece un fenotipo
específico dentro de la población de bacterias, y así al genotipo que lo
genera. Esto hace que las bacterias portadoras del genotipo favorecido, que
puede ser la resistencia a algún antibacterial, sobrevivan, mientras que las
bacterias no portadoras de tal genotipo no pueden reproducirse
satisfactoriamente o mueren. Las bacterias no cambian, sino que sobreviven las
que se adaptan mejor al ambiente y logran reproducirse satisfactoriamente.

Potsdam and relations between the West and the USSR
A. What was decided at the Potsdam conference?
The allied leaders arranged for July 1945 in the Berlin suburb of Potsdam, a conference. There weren’t taken any decision, due to the fact the distrust between Stalin and Truman, so they had different disagreements, over what to do with Germany, over reparations and also over Soviet policy in Eastern Europe.
B. Why did the wartime unity of the Allies break down between 1945 and 1947?
The wartime unity of the Allies broke down because there was tension and suspicion between the USA’s president, Truman, and the USSR leader, Stalin. Because of these, in the Potsdam Conference, they did not come to an agreement in some major aspects: what to do with Germany, reparations and Soviet policy in eastern Europe.
Furthermore, in the months after the Potsdam Conference Stalin achieved the control of eastern Europe. Poland, Hungary, Romania Bulgaria and Albania had all Communist governments that were loyal to Stalin. Churchill described the borders between them and the West as an “iron curtain”. With Communist governments in all eastern Europe, Stalin tightened his control, eliminating opposition. In 1947, he set up the Cominform to organize and control all the Communist Parties, replacing independent leaders with people who were loyal to him.
C. "The Truman Doctrine generated much more tension than the Berlin Blockade" How far is that statement true?
Different things increased the Cold War tension, such as the Truman Doctrine: giving money to countries that were going to turn into Communism, to stop that movement. Or the Berlin Blockade, with USSR taking control of Germany. But what event produced more tension?
On the one hand, the Truman Doctrine added tension to the Cold War because USA was sending equipment and advice to any country which was, in the American view, threatened by a Communist takeover. They did this as a way of containing Communism.
On the other hand, the Berlin Blockade added much more tension to the Cold War, because as people living in the Soviet zone wanted to leave that zone, and Stalin, who had the control of Germany´s capital, closed all the railways and any possible way of going away from that zone, and that hurted a lot of countries and people.
To conclude, I think the Berlin Blockade added more tension to the Cold War that the Truman Doctrine because that involved more countries.
