HALLOWEEN

Well in this moment I talk or rather I write to the Halloween. On 31 November in United States there is a tradition which was transmitted by Irish immigrants North America during the Great Irish Famine of 1840. The day is often associated with orange and black colors and is strongly linked to symbols like the Jack-o'-lantern. Typical activities include the famous Halloween trick or treating and costume parties, in addition to the bonfires, visiting haunted houses, jokes, reading scary stories and viewing horror films.
The tradition started in throughout Ireland and Britain, in this places have a long tradition of caving laterns from vegetables, particulary the turnip, mangelwurzel or swede. But not until 1837 does Jack o' Lantern appear as a term for a carved vegetable lanter, and the carved lantern doesn't become associated specifically with Halloween until 1866. Significantly, both occurred not in Ireland or Britan, but in Norte America.
 However, the party did not start mass held until 1921. That year was the first Halloween parade in Minnesota and then was followed by other states. The party took a progressive popularity in the coming decades.
The internationalization of Halloween came in the late 70's and early 80's thanks to movies and television series. In 1978, he premiered in the U.S. and worldwide The Night of Halloween, John Carpenter, a movie set on the eve of All Saints was a reference to horror films of series B, with countless sequels and imitations.

Today Halloween is one of the most important dates in U.S. and Canadian holiday calendar. Latin American countries, although they know the holiday of Halloween, have their own festivals and traditions that day even agree as to its meaning: union, or extreme closeness of the living world and the kingdom of the dead.

In Europe many cities where young people have decided to import the way in which the United States conceives Halloween-celebrating with parties and costumes. Although in some places, like England, the original party has taken root again.

The fact that this event has reached our days is, to some extent, the enormous commercial deployment and publicity engendered in American cinema. The image of American children running around the dark streets dressed as goblins, ghosts and demons, asking for sweets and candies to the inhabitants of a dark and quiet neighborhood, has been etched in the minds of many people.

¡¡¡¡¡Ameca-Meca!!!!!

On October 7th, we visited a place called Ameca-meca, which is located west of the volcano Popocatepetl. There is a place where they grow Christmas trees; this place is called the forest of Christmas trees. This forest is as a Biosphere Reserve which has the purpose to become models of how we should live with nature.   Geographic areas also are representative of different habitats on the planet, ecosystems undisturbed by human action, in which living species representative of national biodiversity, including those considered endemic, threatened or endangered.
So there is a commitment to produce the most beautiful Christmas trees, fresh, lasting for Christmas time. This is showing that Mexico may be a forest country and so all together we learn to plant forests for harvesting and planting more trees growing.      

Here again there is enough oxygen for more than 49 million people. And you can breathe deeply and feel deeply all the wealth of oxygen in the air of the forest. Here the trees are planted in nurseries are based on plastic or metal trays with small cubicles where they are placed small, soft seeds to germinate and then be transplanted. That different species of trees for this reason is a mixed forest are: Canada, Viking, and white cedar, oak, etc.  There are also several animals in which there are: moose, deer, caterpillars, centipedes, floggers, worms, tarantulas, spiders, crickets, snakes, eagles (as is the real one) etc.

Apart from being able to visit this forest can visit the farm Panoayan is a place where you can perform various activities and museums. The museums will find are those of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz that this great woman was a person who defended the rights and especially for women and it was there at the Hacienda Panoayan where she spent her childhood. The other museum you'll find is the International Museum of the Volcanoes which gives you a brief explanation and made feely how lava volcanoes.

The conference

THE FAST FOOD








Fast food is high in fat, salt, spices or sugar and other substances harmful to health. But one thing we love about this food and draws its flavor, is that this type of food stimulates the appetite and thirst, which has a strong commercial interest for establishments that provide this food. And this is what makes us follow.

Advantages
They usually have good taste, are inexpensive, can be eaten in a few minutes, do not wash dishes and eat anywhere. We can make a tasty lunch by opening the refrigerator, the ability to keep almost everything in cold facilitates the work in the kitchen and gives sufficient security for its perfect condition.


Disadvantages
If this type of food becomes a habit, the immediate consequences may be: overweight, high cholesterol, increased blood pressure, diabetes or cardiovascular disease.

Humanity has never been available to such a variety of foods to choose and easy to cook, but scientific advances achieved even better treatments for chronic diseases, diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease or cancer, they still remain the same pathologies leading cause of death worldwide, largely due to obesity and Mexico while we're already in the first place.




In fact, fast food is not made with junk. This term is used to describe foods with little of the nutrients the body needs and high in fat, sugar and salt, elements that the body can get over easily. French fries, sweets and fizzy drinks are often considered junk food. If you like these foods, the key is to eat small portions in order to obtain the nutrients the body needs daily.

In my opinion, junk food is not good or bad if that if you consume too much can cause you death a very clear example of Superengordame film in which a documentary about what would happen if you consume any food every days, and its major consequence is death. It should also be careful especially if you are consuming this food try not to eat a daily exercise and eat healthy the other day.

Visit to The Magic are you!!!

Well I attended this event on Tuesday 21 September, with all my friends (well almost all).The event was like an exhibition, in which, on the esplanade of the National Auditorium were gathered a large number of universities so that you could see their features of each.
Then we went into the auditorium where the event began, which guided us to our future, or career we chose. In this part of the event where there were two performance expressed that the biggest probem of being able to choose your profession was the pressure of society, your parents and your own friends.
So we gave several talks in which one you were saying as he did Walt Disney to be the man who today is, and the other told you that when choosing your career do something you really like and you're passionate about, that although you did in the morning and at night you did well and win.

  After these talks we returned back to school with a different mindset and get to thinking that is really what we want to study.
