VITAMINS

Knowing What’s Worth Paying For in Vitamins
It is incredible to believe that many people use vitamins without a real necessity. In many cases people prefer to use vitamins which carry out the name of important marks.
It is important too that you talk to your doctor about what added vitamins or minerals you might require; you can ask for a blood test to learn what you might be lacking in order to save money.
The vitamins are important for our health in order that all functions in the body and not matter where the vitamins come from. You can get the vitamins in food and the natural sources for example if you have a good and balanced diet with all elements you don’t need to add more vitamins.
Sometimes we like to use vitamins that come from a known and famous laboratory or brand but we don’t know that all the vitamins are quality and has the same ingredients in that reason price may not mean quality because nobody can be sure that all the ingredients are in the correctly amount and the ingredients that you have to use have the real amount of vitamins.
Nowadays we can realize that many people in the world specially in US are using multivitamins but they don’t know that we can find all vitamins in the same food that we eat, all the necessities depend of many factors. And it is unnecessary to use vitamins if you have good food habits and do excercises.
I really liked this text because the information that I found in this article taken from the New York Times confirm my ideas that the vitamins are necessaries but if we don’t have any problem related of lacking, the consumed vitamins, could save money and avoiding the ingestion of unnecessary amount of vitamins.

THE WONDER YEARS

THE WONDER YEARS

I want to say the wonderful year is a good program, and when I was a little boy I used to watch. My brothers really liked it and they with their friends used to watch it.
The wonderful year is a story about a boy called Kevin Arnold who has to face the life through different steps and ways of the life.
This program started on air in 1988 and finished in 1993. the main character of The Wonder Years are Fred Savage as Kevin, Dan Lauria as Jack Arnold, Alley Mills as Norma Arnold, Olivia d Abo as Karen, Jason Harvey as Wayne Arnold, Dannica Mackellar as Winnie, Josh Saviano as Paul.
I really like to watch after many time this program because it reminds something about my childhood.
In this chapter Kevin Arnold is in the class, the teacher want to call Kevin to response something about specific questions. The time is very long and it is running slow on the clock and Kevin can not believe it, suddenly something happens, the Parent’s Kevin arrived to the school in order to visit him. The Kevin parents asked him how it was, but Kevin say that It was very good. For a good cake was Kevin invited by his Parents, they said the congratulations to Kevin but he know that he didn’t t do anything to response in the class about the driving license.
After all good time, Kevin in his bed couldn’t sleep and dream so he decided to catch the car without permission. He woke up and stood up in order to get in the car and to drive it. But something was wrong; he didn’t know how to drive.
This chapter is really good because it can teach us about something that happen in our life for example when we are child and we can not do something about our learning in any subject and our Parents or friends are expect to watch us in order to say us ¡congratulations¡ you did it¡
I hope you watch this chapter on You Tube

THE VALLEY OF THE SPIDERS

This story was really interesting because when I read the title I couldn’t imagine how the story was going to be.
First of all the title of the text is very attractive for young readers and dreamer readers, like me, I think the Valley of Spiders is like El Quixote adapted in a different context with different characters but the adventures that have to live The Master, the little white man and the captain that they were the main characters in this text.
The story starts with three people rounding a valley looking for some people who they want to find. They were very enthusiastic to get the place where they possibly could find the known people.
They were looking for the missing people but they weren’t secured that they were doing the well, because in the field there were many hills and the rocky mountains made it difficult to move very quickly.
The three people were riding in some white horses. They weren’t walking and riding four days without any food to eat just only a piece of meat.
Suddenly a weirdo animal was appearing in the sky, it was a big wild dog. This animal was in disposition to attack but fortunately disappear in the field. Later the three people continued the trip looking for their staffs and a big mass of spike were approaching to involve them. After that they could hear a jewelling from a wild pig.
And a group deer appeared too behind of them but they were lucky because many things that were appearearing couldn’t attack them in their traveling to look for the people.
Finally a web of spider was in the middle of the fild and made many troubles to them.
They couldn’t see perfectly the valley and the spider were in the direction of them.
The little man can escape from the spider s webs and he can to rest in a hidden rocky place.
The story mix many adventures and dangerous situation that the three people could to face, but they were not happy that these troubles were appearing in his challenge.
I like this story and I hope you can read with a good cup of coffee in beautiful night

Ambassador Gustavo Marquez told Cali newspaper El Pais that he can not rule out that the U.S. plan to attack Venezuela. The ambassador said Venezuela had no plans to attack anyone.
The ambassadors don’t believe that the relationship will be good after all, because Venezuela is not satisfied by the negotiation between Colombia and United States in order to use army basis in the boundary with the other countries.
Colombia has made trough the years many deals with Venezuela and now we are having a bad time and the winds of changing could not appear the next years.
If we consider like brother countries we can change the situation we have to keep in mind that we can not depend just only of the both presidents because we have a long tradition and good relationship so long ago. And if we see our countries don’t need the help to the others that dont belong to Latin America.
Our problems we have to fix with our people and in this reason is good that both president sit down in order to made good relation in all aspect, politic, economical and cultural.

THE OVERWEIGHT MAKES A BIG DEBATE IN US

In US many people are overweight but they don’t do anything to recover their healthy life. This factor has increased the last decade.
Heavier Americans are pushing back now with newfound vigor in the policy debate, lobbying legislators and trying to move public opinion to recognize their point of view: that thin does not necessarily equal fit, and that people can be healthy at any size.
Extra weight brings with it an increased risk of chronic disease, medical experts say, and heavier people tend to have medical costs that are substantially higher than their leaner counterparts. As a result, Congress of United States is considering proposals in the effort to overhaul health care that would make it easier for employers to use financial rewards or penalties to promote healthy behavior by employees, like weight loss.
If it results it will be a low to do something to protect the health of the American people but there are a lot of groups that are defending the fat people in many debates in the congress.
It is difficult to put this king of regulation but is necessary to do some agreement in order to be conscientious of loss weight.
Any way the health is a topic which matters own people but everybody has to do the effort to make the life healthy.
You can find the debate in

This legendary band possibly comes by second time in our country. Colombia has received many bands the last two years that increase the fans and the motivation to go and to listen them playing in our territory.
It is good to hear and to read about that Metallica the legendary band will be in Colombia, this affirmation appeared on Terra news.

For me I don’t like to hear so much this kind of music but sometime is good to hear about other rhythms, sounds and groups that are making good works with their music, sounds and are very important for the musical context in the world.
Colombia is a good country to visit, that is the reason why the important bands are coming to our country and we hope that many other bands and different music come from the Asia, Europe, in order to interchange music and share a good concerts with their music.
It is a honor to receive by second time this band between ten years. And we hope too that our musical group have successful.

This story I found in the English library. When I started to read the text I was getting closer into the deep story.
I like the stories which have amazing topics like and this is not the exception because when I watched the image I really liked it.
The story is about two little boys who every day go out to swim in the near beach.
They are a good sportive boys and they used to face themselves. Martin the older brother always ret his brother Sam to know who is the strongest. Sam is very shy and he doesn’t like the words from his brother.
One day the both boys found a hole in a small beach near to the inside sea.
The hole looked like very mystery and interesting in order to look for new way of competence to them.
The next morning the boys were over there and swan into the deep hole, both were fighting to be the best swimmer in that occasion but unfortunately the intriguing story started here.
I hope you read this text in the library, I really like not only the image I like too the whole story, the reactions of the stars and one can learn more values with this beautiful story.
The places which are in this story made me feel in a good context and I can feel the environment of this story in my life. The “Pink Rock” is a good name to describe the place where this story began. If you are good to draw practice with this name and make your own adventure.

MOVIE REVIEW

MOVIEW REVIEW

ANGELS AND DEMONS

I like to watch the movie stared by Tom Hanks because this actor makes the best starring to give us the interpretation of . The film is about a intriguing sect called the illuminati. This group is a secret society which wants to take a substance called antimatter. This product is very dangerous and it can destroys many things surround it. This group wants to have the power with this substance.
Many circumstances round The Vatican and the secret group has the antimatter(illuminati), in that occasion the successor of the new cardinal is going to be but the four nominated to be the new pope are disappeared.
The heroes of this story Langdon and Victory want to discover what is happening and they start the searching. The camerlengo helps them in the searching because he was closer to the dead pope.
Many places and location to watch offers this movie and I think we are going to know aspects related to catholic, illuminati to understand the sects and the religious art are in this good movie to impression our eyes with its multiples varieties.
If you are the people who like intriguing stories this film can give you details like us spy, truth, competence, and science. And we don’t have to forget the starring of Tom, it could be very serious but it is a good facet to now about him, always showing a mystery sight in his stories.
I really liked this movie but I think the number of actor to create attractive atmosphere is needed because the principal actor are very showed.
I hope you watch this movie

It is clear that countries on the World want to make trade wherever they want, but we have to be alert to save our economy and let them to obtain benefits through our resources.
Colombia has a good relation with Canada and it is good for Colombia because Colombia shouldn’t depend of US.
Colombia needs to look for new ways to trade like with European countries, not only a few countries like China, Russia and US because theses countries can be down with their economies.
It is a good step to Colombia to discover new routes to trade and to develop the economy
with a safe way. Colombia has been trying to get new deal with other countries and this is the best moment to achieve with Canada.
In other ways is good to know how Canada is making good relationship with other people around the world.
Canada offers to Colombia a good perspective to make a good economy relationship.
Canada currently ships tons of pork worth $6 million to $8 million annually to Colombia, but that volume could more than double within five years of Canada ratifying its free trade agreement.
Canada has also been negotiating a free-trade agreement with South Korea, whose pact with the United States has also stalled. Canada has recently complained to the World Trade Organization but not only all the countries want to negotiate with Canada and this is Korea.
Any way Colombia have to be careful to do the best for our economy and all the Colombians

THINK OF YOUR FEET

It is clear that every day we are walking without think what is happening with our feet. In this report we can find some questions that we can make ourselves in order to maintain our feet healthy. It is normal that we consider old people can get faster pain in the feet but it is not right. According to the study that was made in United States, the foot pain is a consequence of not protect our feet and not to take preventive actions.
People say that it is more common in old people but they do not why it comes from. The force on your feet is about 120 percent of your weight according to the study that was carried out by the American Podiatric Medical Association.
On average, people develop pain in their 60s, but it can start as early as the 20s and 30s. Yet, except for women who get regular pedicures, most people don’t take much care of their feet. The following questions will help you assess whether you should take more preventive action as you age
Are you overweigh? This is because the all weigh is support by the feet
Are you diabetic? Diabetics should have their feet examined annually by a doctor
Do you have poor circulation? If you suffer from arterial disease like a narrowing of veins in the legs your feet are more susceptible to problems
Do your parents complain about their feet? Family history is probably your biggest clue to potential problems.
Do you wear high heels? Heels contribute to hammertoes, as well as toenail problems.
I think all ways that you can find in this paper to care the feet is good, and this report is good to change all news that are appearing in headlines in the newspapers. I hope you put in practices these advices when you walk to university or simply walk in anywhere.
