SAHARA The Sahara (Arabic: الصحراء الكبرى, "The Great Desert") is the world's largest hot desert, and second largest desert after Antarctica. At over 9,000,000 km² ,it is almost as large as the United States, and is larger than the 48 contiguous states. The Sahara defines the borders of North Africa and has an intermittent history that may go back as much as 2.5 million years. The name is an English rendition of as-ṣaḥrā, the Arabic word for "desert". History By 6000 BC predynastic Egyptians in the southwestern corner of Egypt were herding cattle and constructing large buildings. Subsistence in organized and permanent settlements in predynastic Egypt by the middle of the 6th millennium BC centered predominantly on cereal and animal agriculture: cattle, goats, pigs and sheep. Metal objects replaced prior ones of stone. Tanning of animal skins, pottery and weaving are commonplace in this era also. There are indications of seasonal or only temporary occupation of the Al Fayyum in the 6th millennium BC, with food activities centering on fishing, hunting and food-gathering. Stone arrowheads, knives and scrapers are common .Burial items include pottery, jewelry, farming and hunting equipment, and assorted foods including dried meat and fruit. The dead are buried facing due west. I have the imformation on encyclopedia

FALLAS Fallas was started by carpenters that worked in Valencia when at the end of winter cleaned their workshops and would burn all the old pieces of wood on the eve of the patron saint, Saint Joseph. This has been celebrated since 1497. Tradition says that children of the barrio “Del Carmen “and carpenter apprentices started to put clothes on the pieces of wood and furniture that was going to be burned. Then year by year people got more inmaginative & started making more funny figures like scarecrows, so this was the first imitation of the “ninot”. This developed over the years to become what it is today with amazing statues that take a year to make and that has spread all over Valencia. the evolution of the "ninot"

I think that this is about people who are wasting time with a bad job only to spend their money on big TVs etc... to watch stupid programs & not to do anything usefull or interesting with their lives.

Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television. Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit crushing game shows, stuffing junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself. Choose a future. Choose life... I got this information from here --> You can see the translation here

The greenhouse effect is the rise in temperature that the Earth experiences because certain gases in the atmosphere (water vapor, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane, for example) trap energy from the sun. Without these gases, heat would escape back into space and Earth’s average temperature would be about 60ºF colder. Because of how they warm our world, these gases are referred to as greenhouse gases.

Persuasion

Summary

Persuasion was written between 1815 and 1816, by Jane Austen.Persuasion concerns the social issues of her time and particularly the matter of class. Persuasion is the tale of the romance between Anne who meets the novel's hero, Captain Wentworth and in spite of social barriers and the rival Musgrove sisters - Louisa and Henrietta - pursues his affection even though she had turned him down as a husband. Accidents and various engagements ensue leading to what the reader hopes will be another finale of poetic justice and love.

My opinion.

I liked this book very much , but I read the short version.
It was a little difficult to follow because there were a lot of diferent characters.
I would like to recomend it.
