Pet Sematary
Historically the novels of different authors have had power over man to lead them to another reality in
different situations where the plot, power, variety of characters, the places where the play takes place
and other literary characteristics is developed, conceived explosions of feelings and stimulate the
reader's thoughts .
Exactly the same goes for this book. "Pet Sematary ", by the author Stephen King, is an interesting
novel that keeps captivating combinations between the reality of life and their daily problems, and
fantastic, but terrifying story of the resurrection of the dead.
The plot of this novel begins with a mournful and unknown place the Creed family have just arrived,
moving there when the father, Louis Creed, get a better job in the university town nearby.
Immediately they know Mr. Jud Crandall, an elderly man who lives with his wife right in front of them,
passing by the busy highway that is active 24 hours a day. The characters are conformed by a very rich essence, combining both fantastic and common features,
such as romantic conversations between couples, talks about the children homework and
responsibilities, the repairs in the house that need to be done or simple narrations about the daily
shopping, but in the other hand we have this dark and powerful diabolic force that is always there,
always watching the Creed family, which inserts the idea in the reader´s mind that all this unnatural
facts which are developed through this literary work can happen to anyone at any time.

“Pet Sematary” is an incredible novel that may keep the reader with suspense, terror, and mystery to
the bone, and will do that by times the reader doesn´t want to continue reading, however will be
incapable to do so.

The playstation 4 a perfect videogame
console!
The product I am going to talk about is the playstation 4. This videogame console is very
attractive it has too many advantages. One of the extreme changes of PS4 is that now you
have to pay PSplus if you want to play online. Psplus is a membership which gives you
many advantages like playing on internet, free monthly games, discounts in the playstation
store, etc.
Another change in PS4 is the remote controller. The PS4 controller is more technological,
it has a touchpad sensor in the center and you can use it I interactive games making this
console more innovative. PS4 is constructed with good quality materials, one example of
this is graphic card which gives the user that is playing a great experience. The RAM
memory of the playstation is very quick so it prevents the slowdown of the console.
7
Even though there are many attributes of this console there are some disadvantages too.
One of this is that the startup of the PS4 is not very fast so it could spend some time. One
big disadvantages is that the PS4 servers are very easy to hack or shut down so in some
point you will probably have some troubles if you want to play in internet. Besides of this I
believe that PS4 is a great videogame console and you could have a great time using it.

Felipe is a very simple person
And for him the casino has become indispensable
It was unpredictable his entrance and concrete his move
In a shorten way the chips were given and remove.
From his eyes a tear was dropped
It never stopped
When he saw that all his money was gone
More tears were dropped
Felipe cried and cried
Because his chips had flown
Along with the money he never owned
The ugly truth

I went running
I tied my shoes
My legs get stronger
It felt really great
I run another mile
I don’t stop for a while.
I just went to run more than 2 miles
And I felt stronger
I run all the way home
And wait for some more
I went to sleep
But I couldn’t sleep
I started thinking about a sheep
At the end I run behind the sheep
I just want to get some sleep
Running for a Dream

Scolding and abuse. Nothing but blows. This
is how young people in today's society see
their own mothers. A real injustice, a total
lack of conscience and moral to the person
who has loved us so passionately and care
with such dedication and zeal, even though
we do not deserve it.
The kindness that our family has taught us
since childhood is unique, irrevocable and
unconditional, even more so is our mother.
So then, what is the real problem for the
young people, who just do not appreciate all
these truths? Is it because this afternoon our
mom said we could not use the car to go out
with our friends. Or because she does not
give us permission to play longer our
videogames. Or because they doesn´t made
the food we wanted. Maybe because there
are not washes the clothes you was going to
wear on the night party.
Only for stupid things, typicals from
individuals who can not see beyond their
nose.
Are we dominate by that dark way of seeing
our mothers? Do their love, affection,
understanding, care and concern that our
mothers have professed throughout our lives
is easily overshadowed by ephemeral
feelings that are revealed occasionally with
either anger or by our whims?
Yes, because we do not remember the
immense amount of values mom has taught
us throughout life. We forget that she wakes
up before us every day of her life to treat us
the best way, to help us and give us the best,
only to us, their children, expecting, and
certainly without receiving anything in return.
Being a mother means picking up the kids
from school, listen carefully to the stories that
school filled with excitement and also
manage all caution and concentration of the
THE REAL TRUE
LOVE
11
world; get home, take 2 hours to make the
food, to finally see how your husband and
your children eat everything in 5 minutes and
shoot out of the table, having in regret not
even a "thank you".
Mothering covers the learning of
understanding from the vague feelings of
your children to the deepest dilemmas that
may arise them, and help them in all possible
ways, so in that way they can continue going
ahead.
Being a mother means running beside your
child when they are learning to ride a bike.
Tired of anger that your child does not know
how to make the rule of 3 but still keep
teaching. Wash clothes every day. Study with
them for school exams. Feed them the
smallest and make different meals for the
oldest. Answer the phone, change the diaper
of your baby, heat the milk bottle, and pick up
the kitchen all at the same time.
The value of a mother is not won by
situations that you allow to them, but what
you don´t let them do for the good of
themselves. This value is not earned because
the mother wants it, it just simply appears; the
mother does anything to see their children
happy, realized, complete and in the end this
estimate is gained without even intuit or try it.
All this and more is what makes a real
mother.
For me it's not worth that my mother does all
this for me when she is mistreated and I do
not appreciate everything she does for me.
Our mothers are one of the most important
people in our life. For that we should
appreciate more their devotion, let´s take of
them, y give them the best of us, just like they
have been doing through all of our lives.

Euthanasia: A medical problem
Certain times people have listened about the euthanasia, a topic that is extremely
controversial. People believe that after death there will be only peace, and if you’re
suffering in this life, at the moment you die you will go through a better life but,
what if all this ideas are wrong?
Euthanasia is a topic with too much debate, many people believe that is something
that should be practiced when someone is suffering or has a disease that does not
have a cure; other people just think that euthanasia is something that should never
be in practice because it is considered as an inhuman act.
There are two types of euthanasia, the first one it is the active euthanasia and the
second one it is the passive. The active one is when one person induces to
someone’s death by injecting them the magic substance. The passive is when the
person decides to stop medicating or having their treatment.
Most of us have heard about a girl named Valentina Mureira, who has a terrible
disease named cystic fibrosis. This disease does not leave the girl to breathe
normally, because she has to be connected to a special machine which helps her
to breathe.
Valentina asked to her countrie’s president for an authorization in which the
government let the doctors of Valentina to practice her the euthanasia, so she
could finally sleep in peace.
When we talk about this kind of topics you could have many points of view and
many opinions, besides euthanasia is a medical practice and there are daily cases
13
in which doctors use this resource, I think it’s a bad option because it goes against
all human beings and nature.

THE SINKING OF THE MOST
POWERFUL GERMAN SHIP
The Tirpitz was
the second of
two Bismarck-
class battleships
built for Nazi
Germany's
Kriegsmarine
(navy) during
World War II.
Tirpitz displaced
42,900 t (42,200
long tons) as
built and 52,600
metric tons (51,800 long tons) fully loaded, with a length of 251 m (823 ft 6 in), a
beam of 36 m (118 ft 1 in) and a maximum draft of 10.6 m (34 ft 9 in).
It was put in service on February, 1941, and through all the war, the ship
demonstrated to be an invincible and mighty marine force, making the German
navy an important part of the army.
Referring to his tasks, the Tirpitz realized an incredible list of interesting missions
around the North Sea, located in the northern Europe and southern England.
Just before the Tirpitz began his service, and while doing an intensive training
program, he was called to form a temporally fleet with other heavy and light ships,
called the Baltic fleet, which will prevent the escape of the soviet navy stuck in
Saint Petersburg’s bay, while the German ground and air forces besiege the city.
On November 13 the Tirpitz was deployed into Norway. The ship would be able to
attack convoys bound for the Soviet Union, as well as act as a fleet in being to tie
down British naval assets and hold back an Allied invasion of Norway. During all
this time, the British forces tried to sink the Tirpitz in several occasions without
getting any advantage of it, even when they had decoded the german military
communication machine, called “Enigma”.
15
After that, the Tirpitz was assigned to belong to another fleet, which mission was to
attack the allied convoys sent to northern Russia to support soviet troops that were
fighting against the German army. Unfortunately, because of the lack of fuel and
weak escorts to protect the Tirpitz, the high ranked generals decided that the ship
should stay on the Norway bay.
Obviously this a was tremendous ship that still have an excellent career for coming
due to his size and gun power, and England knew it very well. Through the
missions accomplished by the Tirpitz, the England air forces sent a few attacks to
destroy the ship. On March 9, the British threw an attack conformed by 12
torpedoes airplanes. Another attack was sent on March 30, when 33 Halifax
bombers tried to destroy the battleship, even though they didn´t even hit it. Several
more attacks were made by the Real Air Force, but they didn´t succeed.
On 1942, the German admirals decided that the fleet needs to act all together, so
the Tirpitz, with the help of other heavy ships, bombed Spitsbergen, a British island
that possessed some military intelligence artifacts. The fleet achieved to conquer
the island, and return to Norway waters, leaving the Tirpitz on standby.
But the British will not yield, until
sink this potent battleship, which
had caused them a lot of troubles
by now. Operation Catechism, the
final British attack on Tirpitz, took
place on 12 November 1944. A
force of 32 Lancasters dropped
29 Tallboys, a huge kind of bomb,
on the ship, with two direct hits
and one near miss. A second hit
amidships between the aircraft
catapult and the funnel and caused severe damage. A very large hole was blown
into the ship's side and bottom; the entire section of belt armour abreast of the
bomb hit was completely destroyed.
After all this damage, it was only matter of time the sinking of the Tirpitz.
In the aftermath of the attack, rescue operations attempted to reach men trapped in
the hull. Workers rescued 82 men by cutting through the bottom hull plates.
Figures for the death toll vary from approximately 950 to 1,204. Approximately 200
survivors of the sinking were transferred to the heavy cruiser Lützow in January
1945.
The mighty monster Tirpitz was finally destroyed.

The marshmallow salad
The homemade marshmallow salad is not very complicated to do, the combination
of ingredients which you use to prepare the salad it makes it very delicious. If you
want to eat a good combination you could drink a cold glass of milk.
This dessert is perfect for family or friend reunions or you could also bake it in
holidays like Christmas, birthdays or also in a casual day.
The materials you need to make the walnut pie are the following:
2 bags of marshmallows
1 big sour cream
1 can with fruits of Doyle
2 cups of coconut
2 or 3 bars of Philadelphia cheese
2 cups of walnuts
1 beater
1 big recipient
The first thing you have to do for making the salad is to add the sour cream and the
Philadelphia cheese in the recipient, you have to shake them until you get a thick
and creamy mix.
17
When you finish shaking the mix you have to leave it in the refrigerator for two
hours, so the mixture can get a better consistency. After that you only add the
other ingredients and you mix them again.
Now your salad is ready, but if you want to add a fancy taste you could add a little
bit of rum.

Change of
Plans When all the classes were over me and my friends hang
out at the classroom to organize a reunion on a sport bar, we were planning at
what time to meet on a friend’s house so we can go all
together to the bar.
At 9pm we were supposed to meet at my friend’s house so
at 7 pm I started to change of clothes as soon as I finished I
go to my friend’s house, when I arrived my other friends were there because they
arrive earlier they were discussing about a company, they wanted to start a
company of empanadas so they were organizing their future sales.
Their meeting take a while, hours pass and we finished going to the bar almost at
11pm, I decided to take my friends in my car, the engine start, I push the pedal and
we go straight to the bench, it was a hard
blow. We get out of the car and check if it
was alright, we noticed that both tires where
busted, the crazy night that was plan passed
to a lame night changing the tires of my car.
My friends help me out, it take us 1 hour to
change one single tire and it was still
missing one, but that one don’t took us so long because we gain experience with
the first one. When we finish putting the tire I invite my friends to eat tacos. Our
19
plans to drink and play pool were gone. The only good thing about that night is that
they demonstrate me that I can count with them in any situation.

A boost morale player
There are only certain people in the world who are actually able to raise and lead
the sporting spirit of a team. This is the case of José Clemente Noriega Valdez, a
leading player of the CETYS football team.
It would be interesting to understand how this type of characters boost morale and
motivate the team, with their unique personality.
1. For how long have you been
practicing this sport?
I have played this sport for four
years. Since eighth grade, and then
played 3 seasons in the three years
of high school, first, third and fifth
semester.
2. What position do you play?
Full back.
3. Do you think that this position is a
factor that gives confidence to
push your team?
All positions are important to support
your team. However I think this
position is a little more, because this
position is responsible for advancing
21
yards to the team and make
annotations, which can boost the
morale of the team.
4. Do you consider that you have a
special quality to improve your
team self-steam when the things
are getting worse?
I wouldn´t call it a gift, but I consider
myself a person supports its partners
and encourages them to pursue.
5. What do you do the increase the
morale in your team?
If in a game we are doing badly plays
we can fix it on the next play, and you
can always go for more.
6. Do you think that this gift can help
you to develop your conception as
a person and then this will open
you doors to succeed?
Yes. In fact, last season several of
my colleagues were selected from
different teams throughout the
country, I called for the Tecnológico
de Monterrey.
7. On your own opinion, do you think
that this kind of motivation really
helps the team when they are
having a bad time?
I think is a little quite help motivating
when something is not going well. It
is always encouraged to have a pat
on the back to move forward.
8. Do you consider that this supports
makes your team members see
you like an important part of the
team?
Generally a certain respect among
team members is generated.
However it is always important to
have a good personality, because
then the respect of your peers is lost,
and from them to you.
9. Have this quality had increase
your popularity around the
campus, or isn´t a factor that you
consider that could do it?
No, I do not consider it a factor. The
popularity of the school doesn´t
depend of the position you play or
what sport you play, but the
personality that keep every day with
fellowship, and friendship.
10. Do you think that this kind of
personality should be present in
every member team in every sport
team?
I believe that everyone can support
their team, regardless of anything the
team where you play; you can always
support your team with your
personality.
Thanks for your time and we appreciate to
have such a prominent player like you in our
school team.

The crash of
the Airbus
a320 plane
The aircraft, an Airbus A320, has
disappeared from the radar in the
Alpes de Haute Provence and
crashed near the town of
Barcelonnette, in a rugged area of more than 2,000 meters above sea level on the
south side of the French Alps. On board there were 144 passengers, including two
babies, and six members of crew.
The flight took off at 9:55 a.m. from Barcelona’s airport, and was scheduled to land
in the German city of Dusseldorf at 11.55 a.m., but never reached its destination.
Before 11:00 a.m. the flight had lost contact with French’s control tower.
At 10:45 a.m., the radars located the plane at 38,000 feet, about 11,500 meters of
altitude. A minute later the pilot initiates a decrease of altitude, unauthorized, and
continues to lose altitude for 8 minutes. " The aircraft stopped broadcasting signal
at 10:53 , when it was at an altitude of 6,000 feet ( 1,800 meters). The plane
crashed then," said Thomas Winkelmann , President of the company
Germanwings.
The Directorate General of the French Civil Aviation (DGCA) has confirmed that
the plane did not send an alert before the accident. "It was the air traffic controller
who issued the warning because they had lost contact with the plane," noted a
spokesman for the FAA, although earlier he had informed otherwise . The weather
conditions were not particularly bad at the time of the accident, he added.
French researchers haven’t lost a minute to analyze the second black box of
Germanwings plane that crashed in the French Alps last March 24 with 150 people
on board. The recording device, discovered Thursday afternoon in the disaster
zone, arrived overnight at the premises of the French Bureau of Investigation and
Analysis (BEA ) , on the outskirts of Paris. One Friday morning, the BEA
announced that the data confirm a deliberate action. The first black box had
allowed and advance of the hypothesis that the copilot, Andreas Lubitz , was only
in charge and voluntarily crashed the machine.
And the hypothesis was correct, future research of the black box confirmed that
after all, it was a complete suicide by Andreas Lubitz, whom suffered from
depression, the main pilot tried to open the cabin, because the copilot locked it. In
that moment, Lubitz lowered the plane causing an imminent crash.
27
The University knows that it is its responsibility to help the country in the cultural
formation of their students, that’s why CETYS puts in action at every campus a
program to achieve this goal in an easier way.
Spinoza Garcia, the director of comprehensive training at CETYS University
founded FORTES “a leader is someone who’s not afraid to act first”, this project
consist in the participation of students who have proved to have abilities in
leadership. These students from second semester will start the process of
FORTES with events providing experience that could improve their skills in
leadership and companionship, so in the future those students will have an
important change in our society.
This events consists in encounters with national and international social leaders, at
least one each month for the students, the leaders will provide advice and stories
on how they achieved those status, in that way, scholars can use that learning in
their own lives.
FORTES has a specific methodology, it is divided in three phases:
Sensitization: Lectures that are related with the signature and the
experience that the lecturer provides cover this phase.
Analysis: Taking a posture based in the information from sensitization.
Action: All the knowledge learned from the program will be put into action,
creating and applying initiatives to help the society in a permanent way.
28
As we can see, CETYS is increasing the quality that they provide to their students,
this program will have an impact on the city as the time passes by; so know we
have to wait and see the results that this university has to offer.

I was at my house watching a movie when suddenly I receive an incoming call. It
was my grandmother she wanted me to go to her house because her dog was
having a heart attack, I don’t really wanted to go but my mom obligated me to go.
When I arrived to my grandmother’s house they were all kind of sad, they wanted
me to carry the dog to my aunt’s car so they can take her to the veterinary, and it
was a very wear experience because the dog was literally dying on my arms, but I
was only exaggerating.
The veterinary told us to take the dog for an analysis I thought we would take it
tomorrow but my grandmother wanted to be right now so I carried the dog again an
take her to the analysis, it was a very tricky place because I couldn’t find it was a
very hidden place, when I parked we run all the way to the other veterinary,
because they were about to closed.
We wait for a while, they told us that the dog has a very big heart and that’s why he
can’t even stand up. Grandmother started crying she decided to sleep the dog. It
was a very painful situation for her I was supporting her all that lapse of time. I
carried the dog for a last time to my grandmother’s car; when we arrive to her
house I started digging a whole on the back yard it take me a while but it was done,
they all say a few words to the dog because she was with the family since my mom
was a teenager they were all crying but at the end we all say good bye to the old
pretty dog “Pimienta”.
I don’t really cry because I don’t spend enough time to play with her like my mom
and aunt did, it seem like the person who can’t handle it was my grandmother
because she was the one who bought it and care it all the time, when I die bury her
with me were the only words she was constantly saying when Pimienta was bury.

TWO
WEEKS
AT LONDON!
On April 2012 I was selected with another 19 students of my junior high to go to
England to a program called BEO (British English Olympics) in which 20 students
from each school had to compete in different categories like debate, country
presentation, song presentation, poetry, sustainable project, etc. I went with my
school, Colegio Bilingue Calmécac, with some of my friends and known people.
This trip lasted 2 weeks and I think it is my best experience ever. In my journey we
met people from other countries like Russia, Brazil, Costa Rica, and obviously
people from England. We visited typical places like London Eye, Big Ben, the
cathedral and a town called Horsham, we also traveled in subway and visited
museums. When we visited London Eye I lived a bittersweet experience. It was
almost time to return to the school where we were sleeping, and we couldn’t take
longer because British people are very punctual and we were going to miss the
bus. We were running to the train when suddenly, I crashed with a women that was
with her boyfriend, so he got mad and he punched me in my back, leaving me a big
bruise, after that we reclaimed and they give us a special trip to a nearby town and
all because of me. Beside that bittersweet memory I spent a great time in England
and I left very happy.

2 UENO PARK, TOKYO
When the cherries begin to bloom,
the crowd of people starts visiting
the famous cherry park that has
this tree variety. They come not
only to admire the flowers but also
to eat and drink under its
branches and have a fun (and

pastime during this season. Every
year, the Japan Meteorological
Agency predicts the heyday for
each region - one more example
of how the Japanese love these
flowers that decorate every year
the country with their pinks.
COLORED FIELDS, CHINA
Full of impressive colors and spiral
shapes, the grooves on these fields
creates a mixture of enchanting
patterns. This photography was

TUSCANY, ITALY
Known for its culture-laden
provincial capital, Florence, an
impossibly beautiful countryside of
rolling hills and cypress stands,
Tuscany can overwhelm a visitor
with options. Skip the lines at the
Uffizi and revel in the ideal vision of
the Renaissance in the chapel of the
Palazzo Medici, where Benozzo
Gozzoli´s fresco “Journey of the
Magi of Bethlehem” depicts his
Medici patrons as the wise men.
And don´t miss Siena, home of
Europe´s finest medieval square
and the Palio bareback horse race
in July and August.
KENKEUHOF, NETHERLANDS
Windmills, wooden shoes and
colourful fields filled with tulips.
That is how Holland looks on a
postcard. Spring in Holland is
marked by flowers and flower
bulbs. The most famous places
are Keukenhof and the flower-bulb
region but Flevoland is not as
well-known even though it boasts
Holland’s longest and most
colourful tulip route in the
Noordoostpolder.
LA DRANG´S VALLEY, VIETNAM
There were many losers in the
Vietnam War, but nature
perseveres as the perennial
winner; the eternal splendor of
Vietnam’s La Drang is perhaps
most evocative of that. Visiting the
La Drang Valley now we can´t find
any traces of the once bloody
battles. Wild nature has healed all
the wounds and scars of war. La
Drang Valley now is dotted with
wild little flowers which secure
those who rest here a permanent
peace...

DOLOMITES, ITALY
Rising up like rocky cathedrals, the
Dolomites are spiked with craggy
pinnacles and carved with verdant
valleys just begging to be explored
on skis, mountain bite, or foot. But
there´s more to this region than
thrill-seeking: The mountains are
strewn with abandoned bunkers,
fortifications, and tunnels left over
from World War I when this was the
front line between Austria and Italy,
as well as charming Tyrolean
villages where the ancient Ladin
language is still spoken
COTSWOLDS, ENGLAND
With its signature honey-colored
Stone buildings and rolling
farmland dotted with sheep and
scored by hedgerows, the
Cotswolds in southwestern
England seem conjured from the
pages of a children´s book. Day-
trippers from London or Oxford
peruse the tiny, timeless villages
like the Slaughters and Broad
Campden, tour the 15th-century
Sudeley Castle, and walk
Donnington Way, a 62- mile
circular hike linking 15 country
pubs through the North Cotswolds.
LAPLAND, SWEDEN
With vast stretches of untamed
Artic wilderness, Sweden´s
Lapland is ideally traversed on
dogsled. Whizzing through
snowscapes behind a team of
charging huskies allows you up-
close glimpses of moose, lynx,
reindeer, and other wildlife. Unwind
each day in a wood-heated sauna,
and then dig into local fish and
game dishes around a roaring fire,
under a mantle of starry skies.

QUEBEC, CANADA
This is a hotel made of pure
ice and snow. Located at the
outsides of the city, the
essence of this site offers the
visitors a new style of life,
combining the beauty of the
nature and facilities of a
warm, complete cottage. One
of the most nature places
visited in all the country.

NEUSCHWANSTEIN CASTLE,
GERMANY
Neuschwanstein Castle was
commissioned as the private refuge
for Ludwig II of Bavaria, but opened
to the public immediately after his
death in 1886. Now recognizable as
the inspiration for Disney's Sleeping
Beauty Castle, Neuschwanstein is
one of the most popular castles in
Europe. This fairy tale castle will
take you to a very distant age,
where the architecture beauty and
the wild opened spaces can
transform your concept of
magnanimity

Best tacos in Mexicali
Mexicali is a well-known city for its tacos, its common to find a taco stand when you
drive, you can almost find one at the corner of every street. But it’s food after all,
and there are better than the others, that why we show which tacos are better in
our beloved city.
This is the result, according to the blog Habitual Mexicali, who polled the residents.
At 1st place with a 26% of acceptance we have:
Homemade tortillas give the taco a unique taste,
also the waitress serve fast, but In this case,
the quality is the problem since everyone
from Mexicali goes to this stand, making it
crowded at a fast rate. Main problem would
be overpopulation.
On 2nd place with a 15% we have (but now it’s called el huarachon):
This is a good place for students, because the tacos are
affordable, this place also gives you frijoles for free and there is a
huge variety in sauces, which help the taco to achieve this
special flavor. But the place is some-what unsanitary.
On 3rd place with a 10% of acceptance is:
This taco stand is a little bit fancier than the others, the price of
the tacos is a good way to express the fanciness of a place, which
are a little bit expensive than the others stands, but after all, taste
is the most important thing to consider, and this are well balanced
tacos, but not good enough to achieve a higher place.:

How to make tomatillo sauce.
The delicious traditional tomatillo sauce has
become very famous in Mexico in dishes as chicken
enchiladas or can also be useful in breakfasts such as scrambled eggs,
chilaquiles or even a beans taco. Tomatillo sauce is so useful to give a
fabulous flavor to almost everything you can eat. You can even use it as
a dip with a toast. The ingredients are:
1 pound of tomatillos, husked.
1 teaspoon minced garlic.
1 serrano chile peppers, minced.
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro.
1 ½ teaspoons salt, or to taste.
2 cups of water.
First you put the peppers to cook on fire and wait that
they’re completely roast. After that, grab a dish so you can start the
first mix which is putting the garlic and cilantro and salt into the
dish. After doing the mix you can either start cooking the tomatillos
into the pan and you cover them up into aluminum and then cover up the
pan. After 10-15 minutes, the tomatillos should be finally cooked. In
that time you can mix the peppers with the mix you did before. Use a
smasher and make sure everything is completely mixed and smashed.
Then you put the tomatillos into the dish where is the mix and
start to smash (be careful, tomatillos are hot). After that, the sauce is
done, tomatillos have a lot of water inside so, sometimes it wouldn’t be
necessary to add water, it will depend on how spicy the sauce is, and
you can reduce the spiciness with the cups of water. And there it is,
tomatillo sauce, enjoy it with some toasts or breakfasts or in your
meals.

Interview to: Alexis Ignacio Munguia (State representative
archer)
1. How long have you been training?
I’ve been training a year and a half. I started
in January 11th, 2013 and I’ve been doing it.
2. How much time do you invest practicing?
I invest 4 hours a day practicing. 21 hours a
week.
3. How did you earn the state representation?
Competing in states and I tried my best.
4. What is your training technique for your daily routine?
Concentrate and make the things right and make what the trainer says to me.
5. How was your experience training in the state competition?
I got very nervous but I started to control myself. First, I thought I wouldn’t compete,
because I was shooting awful, but then I got rid of all those
negative thoughts and I was growing until I got the first place.
6. Have you liked the travels you done on your competitions?
Yes and No, because I get dizzy on the roads but generally I do.
7. What do you think of your trainings?
It’s very good to train all day. As many say: “Practice makes the
archer”.
8. What do you think of your trainer?
My trainer is one of the best in Mexico, even in the world but it’s a
very good trainer and I think I’ll be successful if I’m still training
with him, and because of that he has shown to be one of the
greatest trainers in Mexico.
9. What motivates you to keep on training?
It motivates me that my family feels proud of me and I can show I’m good at something.
10. How do you see your progress in the trainings?
Every day I’m doing everything alright but I’m low at score. When I do things correct
constantly I’m going to keep a high score so now I’m doing fine.

Mars has nitrogen, key to life: NASA
Washington – NASA’s Curiosity rover found nitrogen on the surface of
Mars, this brings up previous ideas of searching for life in other planets,
and, because of nitrogen being one of the principal components of life, as
earth composes of those elements too.
While Curiosity was drilling into Martian
rocks, it found evidence of nitrates in those rocks.
These rocks are the evidence that they can be used
by living organisms.
The Curiosity team has other evidences that
make them
think that is
clearly people,
or at least new
organisms living in there, such as
liquid water and organic matter,
being this, the essential elements for
life to exist.
Nitrogen is, as said before, essential
for all known forms of life.
But, NASA still doubt of the
possibility of life existing on Mars because the surface is inhospitable for
known forms of life.
One hypothesis they made up, is that maybe nitrogen existing there
is because of meteorite impacts, and other biological processes.

Nightmare on Elm
Street The movie that scared the hell out of some of use, for me, a classic, for other
people, garbage, and the last percentage, consider this movie as a masterpiece. Fred Krueger, the guy that scared most of us for being one of the most mysterious creatures in the history of movies. His ability of appearing in dreams and search for you and scare you to death to then kill you is alright. The scary thing was, the dream becomes mysteriously true, so, killing you in your dreams means you die in real life. I believe since the release of this movie, people were afraid to sleep because of dreaming of Fred Krueger killing them in some way.
In my opinion, I always knew Fred Krueger as a classic horror character, but I never saw the movie until this year. As a horror movie, I wasn’t scared at all, time has changed, but I believe that if I were in the release date of the movie it would be traumatic. I didn’t scare much, but I think it’s a
classic and a movie everyone can enjoy because it’s such an amazing idea to bring horror into your dreams to then become true.

The technology dependence.
As we know it, technology is moving on day by day, computers are
now essential things in our home. School work with technology these days,
the industries work with technology, and all the new things work with it, the
question is, is technology making ourselves dependant? I think some people
are. Seriously, we all live in our cell
phones, our computers, our TV’s, cars, and
new products that the companies have
released.
The truth is, we can’t leave that
behind, as human beings we always
progress. However, we can’t depend on
technology to do all our work neither being
on our electronic devices all day long,
because we all have a social life to live in the world outside. I believe
most of the people that depend on this technology, spend their time on a
social network for hours and hours.
On the other hand, kids and teens often spend their time playing
videogames, watching movies or just wasting time on their cell phones. And
some people just watch TV too much. I
don’t say technology is a waste of time.
I say, the majority of the people that
knows how to handle technology usually
waste productive time.
I personally think, technology is
slaving human race to the limits. In
conclusion, I gotta say, technology is a
useful tool in our world, because it can open your mind and entertain
yourself, but, technology is seriously a big problem since it’s used for
everything and, we forget about all the things we used to do without
technology such as going out, hang out with friends, be with the family.
The technology is an excellent tool but never forget how beautiful life is.
