DON'T JUDGE :)

“We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. It's one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it's another to think that yours is the only path.” 
― Paulo Coelho

PLAYING VIDEO GAMES CAUSES CHILDREN ACT VIOLENTLY

                        PLAYING VIDEO GAMES CAUSES CHILDREN ACT VIOLENTLY 

Based on the studies, the violent video games affect children concentration more than T.V. according to the website health.com. Edward Swung started with the investigation with children who play violent video games and the effects.

A lot of physiologists agree that children of elementary school who play violent video games more than 2 hours per day, have 67% more possibilities to develop attention problems, says The Pediatrics Magazine

The social skills of the children are affected because they develop violent behavior to other persons. They don’t distinguish reality from the fiction, so they act violently with their family and school.

My partners and I think the violent videogames played by children affect their mind and their behavior with the society , but these videogames do not just affect the children, also they can affect adults.

Fact or Fiction? You Must Drink 8 Glasses of Water Daily

Do healthy people really need liquids even when they are not thirsty?


There's no denying that water is good for you, but does everyone really need to drink 64 ounces or more every day? According to Heinz Valtin, a retired professor of physiology from Dartmouth Medical School who specialized in kidney research and spent 45 years studying the biological system that keeps the water in our bodies in balance, the answer is no.
Valtin says that for people who have specific health concerns, such as kidney stones or a tendency to develop urinary tract infections, drinking lots of water can be beneficial. But after an extensive search in 2002 for the origins of what is commonly referred to as the "8 x 8" guideline and a review of associated health claims, he reports finding no scientific evidence supporting the notion that healthy individuals need to consume large quantities of water. In 2008 Dan Negoianu and Stanley Goldfarb reviewed the evidence for the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology. They came to a similar conclusion: "There is no clear evidence of benefit from drinking increased amounts of water."
The Board revisited the question of water consumption in 2004. Its panel on "dietary preference intakes for electrolytes and water" noted that women who appear adequately hydrated consume about 91 ounces (2.7 liters) of water a day and men about 125 ounces (3.7 liters). These seemingly large quantities come from a variety of sources—including coffee, tea, milk, soda, juice, fruits, vegetables and other foods. Instead of recommending how much extra water a person should drink to maintain health, the panel simply concluded that "the vast majority of healthy people adequately meet their daily hydration needs by letting thirst be their guide."
So how much water should you drink? Here's their advice: If you have specific medical concerns, talk to your doctor. But if you are healthy, Rolls recommends that you "have a beverage with meals and drink when you are thirsty." In other words, heed your thirst signals, nd stop feeling guilty for not guzzling those extra glasses.

The song of today: Rumor has it !!

Pay it forward :)

Pay it forward

It’s an original and interesting movie directed by Mimi Leder and performed by Kevin spacey, Haley Osment and Helen Hunt.

The story began with the teacher of social sciences (Kevin spacey)  assigned to his students  to create a project. Trevor (Haley Osment) used to live with his mother, she was an alcoholic so, wanting to help his mother, he created pay it forward, it consisted to make a favor for someone who has a problem like drugs, alcohol etc.. and the person helped had to help 3 other persons.

He started with his mom, then with his teacher, who has his body burnt. It caused to him feeling unloving. One day his father hit his mom and he tried to defend her so, his father hit him and also set it on gas,

And other person Trevor helped was a boy, who was bullied. Unfortunately, Trevor died in a fight because he defended the boy who was bullied, I didn’t like this par, it made me cry a lot L

I really love this movie and I’d like to read the book, it could be son interesting due to its unconventional story. It made me reflect about help each other without waiting something back. I absolutely recommend it all.

Check this amazing network,Freecycle changing the world one gift at the time

History & Background Information

A Brief History

On May 1st, 2003, Deron Beal sent out the first e-mail announcing The Freecycle Network™ to about 30 or 40 friends and a handful of nonprofits in Tucson, Arizona. At the time Deron founded The Freecycle Network, he worked with a small nonprofit organization, RISE, which provides recycling services to downtown businesses and transitional employment to Tucsonans in need.

As the team recycled, rather than watching perfectly good items being thrown away, they found themselves calling or driving around to see if various local nonprofits could use them. Thinking there had to be an easier way, Beal set up that first Freecycle e-mail group in a way that permitted everyone in Tucson to give and to get. Freecycle was off and running.

The Freecycle concept has since spread to over 85 countries, where there are thousands of local groups representing millions of of members -- people helping people and 'changing the world one gift at a time.' As a result, we are currently keeping over 500 tons a day out of landfills! This amounts to five times the height of Mt. Everest in the past year alone, when stacked in garbage trucks!

By giving freely with no strings attached, members of The Freecycle Network help instill a sense of generosity of spirit as they strengthen local community ties and promote environmental sustainability and reuse. People from all walks of life have joined together to turn trash into treasure.

Animals in captivity in zoos

Dear editor,

I completely disagree with zoos. They are used to have in captivity all kind of animals. These animals have to be in their natural habitat because they need to be with the wild, where they can grow up and learn how to survive.

But on the other hand, captivity by zoos could help to endangered species owing to nowdays, smugglers are highly dangerous for all of the animals. However, I think the zoos are like jails for animals, a lot of animals will get insane due to some of them are in cages.

Furthermore, humans aren’t experts on other animals’ diets. Therefore, this could caused bad nutrition and other damages to the animals. In spite of, they could be cared by their trainers, they could lose their natural instincts after not too much time in captivity.

Otherwise, breeding programs have not been effective, like in recently days, an endangered species of turtle called Geochelone Nigra abingdoni, the last of this species turtle lonely George died. In many years veterinaries tried to breed this turtle but they couldn`t do it, that’s so bad since this kind of turtle is not going to exist anymore. We still have time to do something about them.

writing a persuasive e-mail

To whom it may concern

The last day I was reading a notice on the newspaper, that said some schools are going to install security cameras and issuing students with electronic ID cards in their schools, but our school was against it. However, some students and I were discussing about it and we`re don’t agree with the decision taken. It’s inconceivable because our school needs to be up-to date.

There are infinite advantages of security cameras; I’m going to explain some of them.

First  they will prevent prohibited behavior , it’s improbable and impossible, that teachers and school administrations are paying attention in our behavior, in and outside the campus. The teachers and school administrations will see the behavior of us, like who is smoking or using drugs etc.. as long as our campus has surveillance cameras. I think it could be a practical way to see the behavior of us.

Second they will stop unwanted visitors:  we won’t never know the intention of people who is outside school. It’s probable they don’t have good intentions. Nowdays the insecurity is a big trouble, so our parents want the best for us, but if our parents don’t feel comfortable with the security of school,  they probable won’t want us to go to that school, unless our school has surveillance cameras.

Instead of electronic ID cards , we can use fingerprint readers. It will be so helpful to control who come in and out of the building. Also in case one person, student…etc.. is missing, the police could check the tape and see what happened.

Third they will save money:

Another  fact it’s money will save, instead of having a lot of security employees and pay them ,  you will pay less, provided that you have fewer employees that can visually patrol a large area when several cameras are in use. With the money you will save, it will be sufficient to fix our school.

With security cameras students and also parents are going to feel safe, cameras shouldn’t be allowed in areas of school where privacy is expected, such as restrooms and locker rooms.

The cameras will be installed in places where students congregate such as hallways, classrooms and cafeterias.

Since technology has had an advance you have a lot of options of security cameras such as: wireless security cameras, IP/network security cameras, dome security cameras, infrared security cameras..etc.. That’s incredible and you know what?  They`re cheaper if you buy of these options in security cameras, you will get fingerprint reader for free.

Politely
