The Platense classic: ‘Estudiantes’ vs. ‘Gimnasia y Esgrima’

Certainly, football in Argentina is a passion that moves crowds and it attracts the attention of many people. Our city, La Plata, didn’t stay away from this sport, and, from the beginning, practically all the platenses became football fans. Football in La Plata was born in 1901, when ‘Gimnasia y Esgrima Club’ was founded. After that many football clubs were founded in the city, and played “amateur” football. In 1905 a group of students from the University of La Plata founded ‘Estudiantes Club’. Since then, ‘Gimnasia’ and ‘Estudiantes’ are the most important football clubs in La Plata, and they have always competed to be the best. However, the beginning of the matches between them didn’t start until 1916, because ‘Estudiantes’ had ascended to the first division in 1911, but ‘Gimnasia y Esgrima’ did it four years later. The first match in the new category was played in 57 and 1 street, where the stadium of ‘Estudiantes’ is, and for the first time people had to pay a ticket to enter. This first football match was won by ‘Gimnasia y Esgrima’. Nowadays, ‘Estudiantes’ Won 49 matches against ‘Gimnasia y ‘Esgrima’, and they won 44 matches against ‘Estudiantes’.

Depending on this, the person can be an Aries (21 st March- 20 th April), (21 st April- 20 th May), Gemini (21 st May- 21 st June), Cancer (22 nd June- 22 nd July), Leo (23 rd July- 22 nd August), Virgo (23 rd August- 22 nd September), Libra (23 rd September- 22 nd October), (23 rd October- 21 st November), (22 nd November- 21 st December), Capricorn (22 nd December- 20 th January), Aquarius (21 st January- 19 th February) or Pisces (20 th February- 20 th March). I was born on 11th of february.I am an Aquarius. Aquarius have a strong and attractive personality. There are two types of aquarius: one is shy, sensitive and patient. The other aquarius is lush, lively and can get to hide the depths of his personality under a frivolous air. Both types of aquarius have a strength of conviction and truth, they are very strong and very honest, they know when to change their opinions, if there is evidence showing the opposite of what they thought before. Aquarius are able to see both sides of an argument. That’s why they are one of most tolerant and unprejudiced signs around the . They are open to truth and willing to learn from everybody. For me the best sign of the zodiac.

The horoscope is then divided into 12 sectors around the circle of the ecliptic, starting from the eastern horizon with the ascendant or rising sign. These 12 sectors are called the houses. The first six are therefore below the horizon, and the other six are above the positions of these houses remain relative to the native (it is the time and place of the event being charted).

In Chinese astrology there are twelve signs based on different animals. Tigers, for example, are brave and like to compete. They are also optimistic. Rabbits, on the other hand, are shy, generous people whose friendship you can rely on. Dragons have strength and energy and are born leaders. Shakes have confidence in themselves, they are polite and attractive people who usually give good advice. And finally rats are sensitive people, according to chinese astrology, they are good at giving sympathy. Other animals in chinese astrology are the horse, the pig, the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, sheep (ram or goat), monkey, rooster, dog, and boar.

Abortion, what do you think?

I think that abortion must be legal, but with some limits, for example, not all the women can do it because that would be a real disaster. Only special cases or situations should be considered, for example in the case of women who have been victims of rape. I think that if abortion is legal, this would be safer, because doctors would learn to do it, and lots of deaths could be avoided. The legalization of abortion would help women a lot. They have a right to decide about their bodies and, not less important, they have a right to decide about their lives.

Walter Elias Disney ( December 5 , 1901 – December 15 , 1966 ) was a multiple Academy Award -winning American film producer , director , screenwriter , voice actor , animator , entrepreneur , and philanthropist . Disney is notable as one of the most influential and innovative figures in the field of entertainment during the twentieth century. As the co- founder (with his brother Roy O. Disney ) of Walt Disney Productions, Disney became one of the best-known motion picture producers in the world. The corporation he co-founded, now known as The Walt Disney Company , today has annual revenues of approximately U.S. $35 billion.

Walt Disney Pictures most important movies were: Snow white and the seven dwarfs, Pinocchio, Fantasy, Bambi, Cinderella, Alice in wonderland, Peter pan, Sleepy beauty, The little mermaid, Beauty and the beast, Aladdin, The lion king, among others… But what I wanted to share was a poem from Walter Disney:

DREAMS ... And this way after waiting so much, one day like any other one, I decided to triumph... I decided not to wait to the opportunities, but to look for them by myself; I decided to see each problem, as the opportunity to find a solution; I decided to see each desert, as the opportunity of finding an oasis; I decided to see every night, as a mystery to solve; I decided to see every day, like a new opportunity to be happy. That day I discovered that my only enemy were not more that my own weakness, and that in this, it is the only and better form of overcoming us. That day I stopped to fear to lose and I began to fear to not winning, I discovered that I was not the best and that maybe I have never been the best. I stopped to care who had won or had lost; now I simply care, to know me better than yesterday. I learned that the difficult thing is not to arrive to the summit, but never stop to ascend. I learned that the best victory that I can have is that I can be a friend to somebody" I discovered that the love is more that a simple “I love you”, the love is a philosophy of life.

That day I stopped to be a reflection, of my scarce last victories and I began to be my own, delicate light of the present; I learned that it does not matter if you are a light, if you won't illuminate the way to other ones. That day I decided, to change so many things... That day I learned that the dreams are only to be made reality. From that day I no longer sleep to rest... Now simply, I sleep to dream.

Jokes!

An Italian, a Frenchman and a Mexican went for a job interview in England. Before the interview, they were told that they must compose a sentence in English with three main words: green, pink, and yellow.

The Italian was first: "I wake up in the morning. I see the yellow sun. I see the green grass and I think to myself, I hope it will be a pink day."

The Frenchman was next: "I wake up in the morning, I eat a yellow banana, a green pepper and in the evening I watch the pink panther on TV."

Last one was the Mexican: "I wake up in the morning, I hear the phone "green...green...", I pink up the phone and I say "Yellow?"...

Ok, so there were two guys who graduated from Harvard and Yale...

They both go to the washroom to pee. When they are finished, they converge at the sink/counter. The Yale grad washes his hands, and looks peculiar at the Harvard grad Who doesn't wash them, and instead begins fixing his hair.

Appalled, the Yale grad exclaims: At Yale, they taught us to wash our hands after we pee... To which the Harvard grad replies: At Harvard, they taught us not to pee in our hands....

There once was a scientist who studied frogs. One day, the scientist put the frog on the ground and told it to jump. The frog jumped four feet. So the scientist wrote in his notebook, "frog with four feet, jumps four feet." So the scientist cut off one of one of the frogs legs. The scientist told the frog to jump. Frog jumped three feet. So the scientist wrote in his note book, "frog with three feet, jumps three feet." So the scientist cut of another leg. He told the frog to jump. The frog jumped two feet. So the scientist wrote in his notebook "frog with two feet, jumps two feet." The scientist cut off one more leg. He told the frog to jump. Frog jumped one foot. So the scientist wrote in his notebook, "frog with one foot, jumps one foot." So the scientist cut off his last leg. "He said, "Frog jump. Frog jump. FROG JUMP!" So the scientist wrote in his notebook, "Frog with no feet, goes deaf."

BETTY BOOP

Betty Boop made her first appearance on August 9 , 1930 in the cartoon Dizzy Dishes . The character of this curious vamp of the ``cartoon´´ was born in a totally spontaneous way as we know her nowadays, since in the beginning his creator Grim Natwick, took inspiration for Betty's spit curls from a song sheet of Helen Kane, commonly called the "Boop Oop a Doop Girl". Natwick had designed the history on two dogs and his adventures. But one of them evolved and gave form to Betty Boop as we know her nowadays. Another character stayed as it was drawn by the first time. His name, Bimbo, the little dog in love with Betty. Other regular co-stars included Ko-Ko the clown. His counsellor, Max Fleisher, considered it (Betty) to be an explosive mixture between innocence and ``sex symbol´´, that constituted one of the most important chapters of the history of the cartoon, Betty was the first one of the feminine prominent figures, with curves and prominent neckline. In 1932 the character transformed in a complete way, she changed from being a little dog to turning into the stylized silhouette that we kwon. His ears turned into his earrings. And her little body turned into a beautiful and sexy woman. She always said something like `` Boop-Oop-A-Doop´´. The other anecdotes that put Betty into the aye of the hurricane, was the period of war between the USA and Japan in the forties, when the north American military men received Betty as heroine, accompanying them across the comical strips and the movies that were projected in the barracks. Because of it, in some occasion one have labelled her like the ``Girlfriend of America´´.

Playing music

I like playing the guitar, that is why I know how difficult it is to make a song. When you're a musician, you enjoy other bands or singers more than common people, but you also realise when someone gets wrong. Making music is really relaxing because one can disperse their ideas as you play any song. Many people study music for many years, However, I personally learned by watching my father and repeating what I saw while he was playing his guitar. As a result, I formed a rock band with some friends. We started to play in some parties and some pubs. The feeling that one has on stage is really spectacular because you see al the people screaming and applauding and it always makes you feel happy. We're four in our group, I play the guitar, Nelson plays the bass, Mariano plays the drums, Federico "Kenny" plays the keyboard and finally, Federico "Elmu" plays the first guitar. Many young people prefer to play some sport or to do some excercise but I love playing the guitar. I think it's wonderful.

Here are the lyrics of one of the songs of our band. We called it "LA VIDA DE HOY"

Admitir esta realidad y vivirla Es poner la tristeza en un podio Llevar una vida sin sentirla Comprar sentimientos en el shopping del odio

Quejarse y no hacer nada Es mejor que intentar arreglarlo Tienen miedo a contagiarse No lo bueno, sino lo malo

Arriesguémonos y tratemos de cambiar Lo que tanta gente nos supo arruinar Luchemos hoy, por lo que siempre fue nuestro Lo que nunca nos pudieron dar

El destino esta marcado por tus viejos Y las reglas, las rompen los pendejos Ser extraño es la carta mas usada Lo normal quedo tirado en la mesada

Arriesguémonos y tratemos de cambiar Lo que tanta gente nos supo arruinar Luchemos hoy, por lo que siempre fue nuestro Lo que nunca nos pudieron dar

Things go better with Coca-Cola

Coca-Cola is enjoyed all over the world.

1.6 billions gallons are sold every year, in over one hundred and sixty countries. The drink was invented by Doctor John Pemberton in Atlanta as a healthy drink on 8 May 1886, but it was given the name Coca-Cola by suggestion of Pemberton’s bookkeeper, Frank Robinson. Coca Cola is named for two medicinal ingredients, Coca (Erythoxylon), a blackthorn bush plant, and kola nuts (from Nitida or vera) which have high caffeine content and were originally used to make Coca Cola soft drink. Of course nowadays, this flavour is more artificialized. In the first year only nine drinks a day were sold. The business was bought by a man called Asa Candler in 1888, and the first factory was opened in Dallas, Texas, in 1895. Coca-Cola is still made there. Billions of bottles and cans have been produced since 1895, but the recipe is still kept secret. Diet Coke has been made since 1982, and over the years many clever advertisements have been used to sell the product. It is certain that Coca-Cola will be drunk for many years to come.
