A certain shade of green

I don’t think I am a green person or something, neither I am in the opposite side of the line, like a nature hater. Rather, I think I would be something like a Green-in-Between person, because I think that us, “The Humankind”, should be aware of our position as beings-in-the-world. In this sense, we are simply a part of a big circle or spiral of the life. Nevertheless, I support, as far as real the practices about caring the environment and the nature –Not the fake campaigns that only show one image without a meaningful background. 

Now that I think, I believe that these environmental practices are learned in an individual and fortuitous manner. People can get obtain a tiny information of this practices in the schools, a little more in universities and just for a few cases inside of the family. We haven’t to be blinds: some environmentally friendly practices are very expensive for the common of the people. 

If I have one recycle habit, this is split the garbage between organics and no-organics, then “planting” the organic garbage and convert him in fertilizer. The problem is when reaches the point in which the space on my garden is insufficient to produce more. This fact causes the stop of the cycle. 

 I walk as far as possible, and I would like me to have a bicycle, but in my daily life this hasn’t utility. Without doubt, a car is so far of my possibilities, especially because is expensive and drive is so stressful to me.  

I think that the best manner of reduce the carbon footprint, and which is missing in our society, is to impulse the solar energy. There is the way.

The Power Of Books! BOOM

I think that I’m not like a book worm nor only read book from time to time, instead, I am always reading, not just books, but comics and mangas too. This didn’t begin so early to me, but my mother says me that she read books to me when I was a child. I just remember have started to read a lot when I was eleven years old, maybe reading Harry Potter’s Saga. 

I read all kinds of books, but my favorites are a mixture of real world with fantasy. Nevertheless, I think that I have enjoyed more fantasy, science-fiction or mythic books. Also there are some slice of life books which have been very entertained to me. Until now, I haven’t favorite’s books or writers, but I have liked a lot “Cien Años de Soledad” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez and “The Silmarillion” by J.R.R. Tolkien.

Instead, the last book that I have read was “The Hobbit” by Tolkien. Really it was so entertain and took me a couple of nights to finish it. As all of us know, this book is about the adventures of a little creature who prefer the normal and routine life, but, due to things out of his understanding, some events end up leashing the History of his life. Obviously, I recommend this book, especially for children.     

Would you, dear avid reader, recomend me a good book to read?

Stonehenge up close: digital laser scan reveals secrets of the past

http://www.guardian.co.uk/culture/2012/oct/09/stonehenge-digital-laser-3d-survey?INTCMP=SRCH
By Maev Kennedy, The Guardian, Tuesday 9 October 2012

This article is about an analysis carried out for English-Heritage through a complete exploration of Stonehenge, utilizing a digital laser 3D scan. This work, realized the present year in the shire of Wiltshire, England, has shown manufacture's traces or marks in each one of the big rocks. This marks could have been made 4500 years ago. Nevertheless, that marks aren't the uniques, because in this slabs has been found evidences of rock art, manufacture and restoration, also, posterior interventions, and specially "graffitis" made from Georgian and Victorians visitants.

On one hand, for this work has been necessary to scan each segment of the slabs and after applying weathering and texturing models, to show how was originally each slab. This has permitted support the idea that the prehistoric monument was completely finalized, and that it would had have an alignment  regard to the winter and sunset solstices, creating too mobility or circulation routes with a sense North-East, and giving the idea of the procession's ways. The carving process would had left exposed the internal layer of the rock, that would had shined with the sun's blaze which would have pass exactly on the interior of the monument.

On the other hand, has been also possible discard certain "lines" and "cracks" that were interpreted like figures or designs, but now is possible to identify them as natural marks. Also, the analysis suggests that the work would have been carried out by many hands with different skills, trying, through hundreds hours work, to generate straight and regular surfaces. 

Just Life

If you ask me, I don't consider myself an animal lover, at least with the currently significance of the words. Like all the others forms of life, I think that they must be respected. I hate the animal abuse, but the barrier among the scientist development, his use for the human subsistence and the cruelty is indistinguishable. 

When I was a child, many year ago that in don't remember when, I had my first pet, a dog, but now I just have some fragmentary images of this moment. Finally, as I could not take care of this dog, he was gifted to other family. Later, when I was approximately ten years, my parents give me other dog and he was with me until three years ago. He was my partner. From this moment, I haven't had another pet. 

If there is some that is really hard to understand for me is the Zoo. If it is a place to take care from the animals, not be better that they were free in his own habitat? In this case, I think that zoo respond to a form to obtain money, and the animals are just used like another merchandise. Then, zoo just is an appearance for other interests. 

Only once a dog has bitten me, a few cats has scratched me many times, but I think that the responsibility of this facts was of the owner of the pets and mine. 

If I could be an animal, I will choose a bird, just because I could fly.
