La Jornada Dairiana

Podemos observar, que en el colegio Lincoln se celebran muchos eventos especiales la cual mediante esa celebración uno va aprendiendo un poquito cada día. La semana de la jornada daríana es algo que se celebra, SIEMPRE, cada ano en nuestro colegio. Pero que es la jornada dariana? Bueno, es un evento que celébranos toda una semana en la cual conmemoramos todo lo bueno que los poetas, especialmente Rubén Darío, nos ensenaron; las vidas y obras, biografía y mucho más.  

Pero como le celebramos? Nuestras profesoras, siempre queriéndonos ensenar de una forma muy alegre, nos hacen declamar, hacer shows y muchas otras cosas interesantes para una mejor forma de aprendizaje, la cual si sirve. Cada año lo hacemos, y aun que siempre lo hacemos es un poco difícil todavía aprendernos todo sobre cada poeta o escritor.

Este año nos tocó saber todo sobre Asarias H. Pilláis; su vida y obras. Fue interesante saber algo nuevo de esta persona, ya que no tenía la remota idea de él. Me pareció también tan interesante, que un señor, cuyo su nombre era José arguello lacayo, nos quitó la intriga de todo lo que no sabíamos de este padre y poeta. Él llegó  uno de estos días a hablarnos y explicarnos un poco más de Asarias.

U.S.A. travels to Mexico.

Hillary Clinton decides to travel to Mexico to make alliances looking the way to unite both countries and focusing on the fight against crime. Her main purpose was to make good alliances and improve crimes problem, drug trafficking, border security and more. So she went and talked to Mexico to see the things they can do to improve. She, as representative of United State is willing to help them since they are bordering her country and wants her country to be safe too. This not only helps Mexico but also United State ITSELF. Since they are bordering they need to have a neighbor who does not have problems so that they don’t have it too. They were also having like people from Mexico entering USA to get weapons and sell drugs which that is not excellent for them, in time like these.  

As I could see, Mexico has a great problem of crime and it’s good that USA comes there to talk and help; it’s a good way to help neighbors. It is also good that they determine to what extent are both countries with a common policy, good aspect that they pointed out. Good to know that United State went to them to talk and stop something that was not good, and also that was not doing well on her country.

All this things leading to good union towards both countries (as we expect) and a great campaign to fight for.

USA foreign policy towards Cuba (their relations)

The relationships Cuba and U.S.A had before, has been changing throughout time, and mainly because of USA economic embargo between Cuba. Their differences is what is separating them, since Cuba changed to be communist (I think) all their trading was held to limits. All those things that Cuba were starting to pass through was because they move to be communist, which I don’t think what is the bad thing of it. US were not satisfied with cuba, and there is were problems begin.

I don’t think that countries should fight each other for those types of things,  and their relationships should stay as they were before. I also THINK that this embargo will keep making them problems if they continue like that. I know that there can be a certain limit of trading but not like forgetting the relationships they had before.

Nicaragua and Costa Rica !!!

Nicaragua disputes toward Costa Rica have been continually during this lasts months. For every little detail they fight and have a great discussion and foreign problems.

Nicaragua cites Google earth to give good reason for  their land accommodations (part of the land is from Nicaragua and not from Costa Rica which that is the reason of that fight).

We can see from that example, a short post I saw on internet, that there is a great disgust or hate in there. Foreign fights are what we see from these two countries. Using internet to fight is not something proper to do, and things like that may be solved talking not in critics or shouting.

Another fight which is about the Rio San Juan. They are both arguing about it, the passing of ships and their side of the river. Another big problem occurring there. and a difficult agreement in both countries difficult to be solved, demanding among themselves for the ship trespassing through the Rio San Juan.


 I think that behavior is not acceptable, fighting for things like that. Fighting for the trespassing of ships and for land is good to talk about it but not fight over it and make a great discussion.

US foreign policy l Pakistan l

Pakistan are tired of waiting United State, they are arguing for their rights and now they’re waiting United States to give them what it’s for them. Pakistan has helped them in the war, and now they are just anger that they have to be with all that support and U.S.A have not done anything. I think that Pakistani’s are in the limits right now. They cannot tolerate anything of this, no more. And it’s good what they are doing; giving them a stop, to give them what is for them (after they help U.S.A a lot). So they started with strikes, because they are bored of waiting and receiving all that heavy charge. 

United States is willing to give them their part, even though Pakistan’s mistrust is heavy. Not wanting to trust them so much because of their past antecedents.

This is a heavy act, Pakistani not tolerating U.S.A something which is giving a bad image to them right now. Their work right now is to pay them back all their hard work, and Pakistan’s wait till that happens. 

“We have already done too much,” Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi told reporters here last week. “Pakistan has done its bit, we have delivered; now it’s your turn. Start delivering.” (1)

China, Africa and Oil

China’s economy , which had increase a lot in the last 2 decades and it is averaged that in the future it will increase even more,  need lots of energy to maintain its growth . Not just China, but also other countries need that to increase economy every day.  For all this progress China relies on coal to have more energy, which is said to be the second country to use great amount of oil in the world.

To look for more and stop demanding, China has the necessities to go to other marketing. The great imports lead them to Africa, which has a great quantity of oil reserves. Now receiving a 1 third of its oil imports from Africa (1), and as time pass China and Africa making other business. 

China starts looking for others alternatives, we can say, so that the stopping of energy never occurs (because of demanding). We can see, that China undergoes to Africa's Oil, which later on they start trading with them with other things; China becoming a trader country. 

We can also see how China imports with others and their relationship comes to something even more, than just importing.

Meaningful gift you have received!!!

A gift is something humans have learned to give to others as an appreciation for an incredible act. A beautiful gift is not always something material or big which cost a lot of money and is from a very good brand, a gift may also be something special they gave to you with all your heart. In my whole life I have received many types of gifts. When I say “many” I mean of quantity and from a great value. I have received many types of gift with a great value for me. It may be VERY difficult to choose which one is the best, but if I need to choose I will say that it's my computer. I know that it is a material gift, but for me it’s a gift that I really like. My grandmother gave it to me and just that detail that she gave it to me is what makes it special. It’s not the computer itself as a material gift but as the result that my grandmother gave it too me, which means lot for me. 

Something This School Really Needs Is…

 

Lincoln International Academy is a really great school, with a variety of teachers and families that support each other. I cannot say that this school does not have errors or that it is perfect because i would have been saying a lie. No school is perfect, not even people.

There are some things in which this school needs to work hard to improve and be a better one. I think that this school needs an elective class in which kids can decide which language they are willing to learn from additional to its other languages (Spanish, English). Meaning that they can have the opportunity to learn other languages and have other options to speak. Having the chance to speak more languages, in a school that we pay a great quantity of money to be here.

Teachers:  What can we say about them? They are great teachers with a great capacity and person who studied to be here, but what is the problem with them and the school? There needs to be a better organization in homework and tests for the weekend. WHAT is happening? They are just focusing on their classes and they should also focus that we, as students, have other responsibilities, not just their class. It can improve children statistics with a better manage of the schedule.

Some students have problems with teachers and they don’t have the opportunity to complain about it. What is happening there? We ,as student, are sometimes afraid that if we complain we will be mistreated and we will not have the same help as we had before, meaning that the teacher will treat you different. This should not happen and that is what we need to work on in this school. We need to have the liberty to do that without feeling scared of being mistreated.

Library supplies I think this school needs to improve library variety of books and accessories, meaning that we should make it a little bigger and better. Having a better condition is what this library needs.

Uniform strictness: I know that wearing things correctly is what we all need, but passing with the strictness of the uniforms is a little too much. I think that they should be less strict and focus in other important things like education!!

Food: I don’t want to critic a lot about this school, but I want to be honest. This school needs a better food. A healthy and clean one in which students can eat well, without having the preoccupation that something is going to be in your food; meaning a hair, or something like that. Trying to be careful when doing the food and why not to add a healthy part?? That would be a very good thing to do, since now days students want to be healthy and skinny.

What do Nicaraguans do well !!!

Nicaraguans are people with a unique culture. The national language of Nicaragua is Spanish but many Nicaraguan speak English as well. The reason for this fact leads us to say that Nicaraguans travel a lot to places like United states, were English is one of the mayor languages people talk.

Many people say that Nicaraguans are boring and don't like to share their country. But as I say, this fact is not true. Nicaraguan people are characterized as really energetic, gentle, happy and as proud of their country that they love showing the amazing things they have; like the great volcanoes, mountains, flora and fauna and many other things that make Nicaraguans feel proud of their country. Me, as a Nicaraguan needs to say that we are great people whose great feelings are always to the good, always making and constructing things. As I said Nicaraguan people construct many things such as souvenirs made from adobe and things made from cotton and wool. We are great people that like making those stuffs which look pretty to decorate houses and not just those things but also we are good on food. Our great typical food is what attracts other citizens to Nicaraguan, loving to make and eat food is another thing we are good at. Our typical tradition is what made us what we are.

As a result, I can say that I'm proud of being Nicaraguan because we are gentle, nice and do many things like artisan in which many people from other countries love to come for. It's happy for us to know that people come to us for all of these great things we have made by ourselves.

Pictures got from Google Nicaraguan cultures.

American Airlines pilot was found DEAD !!

A pilot form American Airlines whose name was Russell Christopher Walker was found dead in his Pompano Beach home. They rumor that it was an homicide; polices dont want to say much about the incident. Russell of 50 years old, was found dead by the polices, and it is said that this man had not been heard from him for seven to ten days. A great impact to the people occurred when they figured out that he was dead. Not knowing were he was and suddenly figuring out he was dead, is a great crisis.

Facebook is a new DANGER!!!

During time, we started to log in facebook with the help to share and stay connected with friends and the people around us. But when we start having the control for what we share, we start sharing even more and that is what is making harm on the world. With the help of this new adds that facebook is putting everyday with more information about you, this page is becoming even more harmful and not secure.

For that reason,Facebook is suspending the apps until they know how they can manage it. They are also working on how to ensure us and only share this information when you intend to do so.


In its blog post last week describing the new feature, Facebook said members would need to grant permission for apps to tap into their contact information. And they would only be able to grant that permission for their own data, users can't choose to allow access to their friends' contact information.

“Always keep a song in your heart " Robert Fulton Abernethy.

                                        

Picture from  iTunes.

I learned throughout life that without music, people would not live a day as good as we need to live. Music is every day life feeling. I really love music and even more the lyrics you keep hearing in your head every time you hear a new one. My favorite music is "Hey, Soul Sister" by Train. This music is a beautiful one, in which it talks about beautiful things with a good melody in it. I love hearing it, and every time I hear it i feel I'm in another world. For that reason, "Hey, Soul Sister" is the best song for ever. 

My Favorite Movie

 

                                                  Picture downloaded from itunes. 

 I love movies, and choosing for my favorite is a difficult decision to make. But if I really need to choose from all of the movies I have seen, my favorite is “Finding Nemo”. Directors: Andrew Stanton, Lee Unkrich. Why this movie? Well, this movie for me is more than a kid’s movie. It taught me a lesson, and I really loved all that animations and ideas the directors choose to put. I can watch it millions of time and I will never get bored. It is a very interesting movie with many things to see about life.
