A MYSTERIOUS PHENOMENON IN JAPAN´S KAGAMI LAKE

Image
Nestled near the Mount Hachimantai summit in north-eastern Japan is a lake mythically believed to be the meeting place of two banished, lovestruck dragons. Each winter, ice forms at the top of the Kagami Numa lake and snow piles over its frozen surface. During the spring thaw, pressure from the water’s depths causes the snow to form only in the middle of the lake, transforming the circular lake’s appearance into a giant eye with a ring of open water around its melted “pupil”. The annual phenomenon lasts barely a week between late May and early June just before the ice melts entirely.  The unique sight went viral in 2016 when a tourist took a photo of the white doughnut-shaped ring and called it the “dragon eye” on social media. Interestingly, dragons have long held a place in Japanese legend, and the site is said to be where a young man transformed into a dragon after drinking from a nearby pond. The love he shared for another human-turned-dragon banished to the opposite side of th...

THE RETURN OF THE OSIRIS-REX SPACE PROBE

Image
The asteroid “Bennu” is considered as an astonishing object due to the size and the fact that it's very close to Earth orbit. For that reason, NASA's OSIRIS-REx programme was designed so as to create a space probe to recollect some samples of the asteroid. Last Tuesday, at 7pm GTM +8, the vessel made its first contact with the asteroid, and was allowed to pick up certain amount of rocks and dust from the object. Some minutes later, due to the distance of the asteroid and the Earth at this moment, the first images and the video of the contact arrived here, and they wereshown by NASA live on the online platform of Youtube. Unfortunately, the day after the recollection, the spacecraft started to lose part of the samples collected, that weight 60 grams approx. The problem was solved early this week, and the spacecraft is now returning home, and it is previsted to arrive in 2023. REFERENCES NASA’s OSIRIS-REx Is Overflowing with Asteroid Samples.

“THE TRIAL OF THE CHICAGO 7”

Image
On September 25th, the movie “The trial of the Chicago 7”, written and directed by Aaron Sorkin, was released on Netflix. This production is based on the story of seven activists from different pacifist organizations, such as “Yippies” and “Black Panters”, who were being judged for mobilizing against the Vietnam War and generating a violent confrontation with the police. This conflict was the product of the mixture between the social pressure and the political decision to militarize the city. In fact, the movie is directed by a wonderful writer, so the script is extremely relevant in the hole movie. Finally, it is possible to say that the movie proposes a parallel relation between the problematic of racial violence nowadays and a trial that defended the violence of the government and police.

They almost beat Barcelona

Image
  Spanish defender Gerrard Piqué increased the lead and Ukrainian Viktor Tsygankov knocked Dinamo out of trouble despite the campus decimated with nine players who tested positive for coronavirus and an 18-year-old archer like Ruslan Neshcheret who provided security even in defeat. Barcelona, in its third win in the group, featured the return of the German goalkeeper Marc Ter-Stegen, after 82 days, recovered from a patellar tendon injury to his right leg and was key with three masterful tackles.

Villa Gnral. Belgrano, Córdoba

Image
  Three years ago we lived an amazing trip to Córdoba. We did all kinds of things there.   We stayed in a hostel located in a lonely and quiet place. It was so picturesque and very rich in nature. Our first night there, the owner of this hostel told us stories about the stars and the galaxy, because of the no pollution there and no buildings we could saw a sky full of stars.  The next few days we did sightseeing in a small city near the hostel, we did zip line through the mountains, we climbed an extremely beautiful mountain with waterfalls.  This article has been written by GASTALDO María and ROJO POLERO Delfina

USA ELECTIONS

Image
On last Tuesday, November 3rd, the United States elections were held and still there is no winner. After Biden's sudden comeback, Trump made several accusations of fraud for which he did not provide evidence. To win the presidency, both Donald Trump and Joe Biden need to reach 270 electoral votes, and actually the score is 264 (Biden)-214 (Trump).  Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin have become increasingly crucial. There are 5 states left to decide who will be the next president of the United States, and these are Arizona, North Carolina, Nevada, Georgia, and Pennsylvania. To win, Biden needs only 2 of the first 4 states or Pennsylvania and Trump needs 3 of the first 4 and Pennsylvania to reach a tie, so for now, the elections are tilted to Biden's side.

Fires, an extreme consequence of global warming threatening biodiversity and citizens lives

Image
            For the past three month, Cordoba´s and the Delta´s wetlands (ecosystems that mitigate floods and purifying water) have been on fire. Cordoba´s fires are still active, 51 fires have been registered as of October, and have affected an estimate of 60,000 hectares (150,000 acres). These fires were caused by a pronounced drought, and were exacerbated by low water levels in the Parana River delta region, humid climate, and an increase in winds, which favored the spread of wildfires, due to climate change. Moreover, Brazil, Paraguay, Bolivia and Chile are going through a similar situation; this, therefore, proves that global warming is not a problem of the future, is a crisis in which scientists, citizens and governments have to ally in order to succeed.   This article has been written by RICCI Manuel and GARCEA María Belén REFERENCES 2020 Córdoba Wildfires .

She gave us some insight about what she does for a living and her current studies. Apart from that, this was a particular occasion because it was the last interview of this different yet special year. Lauren has lived in Michigan all her life and has never travelled abroad. For this reason, she doesn't know any differences within cultures. She told us that she would like to visit Argentina and also commented that she has friends in the United States who had lived in Buenos Aires.  Later on, we asked about her hobbies and social activities, but she explained that because of the pandemic she prefers to stay safe inside home. However, she used to do things like going to the cinema, restaurants and watching football games before all this. In addition, we asked for recommendations on what to do if we have the chance to visit the United States and she s...

THE PURSUIT OF EQUALITY OF WORK

Image
In Tokyo, a large part of LGBT society has felt exposed by third parties without their consent .Surveys show that from adolescents to older adults they are more respectful of society than they were 5 years ago . In the workplace , however , there are still difficulties for these people . Upcoming polls have yielded high percentages where voters claim to hear discriminatory speeches both at work and at school . While today we continue to fight for people to be treated equally , there is a go - ahead in society like seeking marriage between people of the same sex and the respect of the individual .

Nicolas had plenty of experiences and culture shocks to share with us, and from which we could all learn. Culture In the interview we can appreciate that Mr. Yamamoto missed Argentinian food, like Milanesa, also that when he went to Japan, also that when he went to Japan, he went with 6 friends and the bride, the transport was very punctual clean and he didn't have to wait long and he used to go to work. Another thing that menses us in the interview is about culture they follow, for example connecting with families ,one of the rules is that the first child of a family has to take their fathers shop and make it better. Professional and academic life He told us what his work was about, He works in a meal factory. There are different sectors and in the sector he stays, he has to mix every part of food.

BUSINESS IN ARGENTINA

Since pandemic started, the borders were closed to prevent the propagation of the virus. But after more than one hundred days in lockdown, the government decided to open the borders to receive tourists from neighbouring countries and also announced that summer vacation season will normally begin in mid-December. One of the reasons they made this decision is because as many other countries, Argentina’s tourism industry has suffered a catastrophic fall. Regarding health protocols, tourists from Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay would not have to comply with a mandatory quarantine period upon arrival in Argentina. The minister added that temperature checks will also be carried out to ensure visitors do not have a fever, and that tourists would be asked to sign “an affidavit," indicating they have not been infected with Covid-19.  REFERENCES: Smario Carola, Pezzolo Candelaria y Müller Valentina(29 de octubre de 2020).

THE RISE OF ONLINE LEARNING

Image
Online learning has shown significant growth over the last decade, as the internet and education combine to provide people with the opportunity to gain new skills. Also, the pandemic has forced schools, universities, and companies to remote working and this booms the usage of online learning. There’s a huge demand from people to learn online. The reason for this demand may be the rapid change of the world. It’s a fact that online learning will undoubtedly replace land-based learning in the future. Mobile platforms have given access to more people to benefit from online learning, and this has created a huge amount of data. In the future, it will not be surprising to see more elements in the online learning structure such as VR/AR or more advanced machine learning algorithms to democratize the learning more.

INDEPENDENT BUSINESS

Image
During the quarantine, there were several people who started their own virtual businesses at home. Today, I am going to recommend you an independent business that works basically making personalized gifts for birthdays and special days, for example: (Mother's Day or Friend's Day). This person communicates mainly through Instagram and Facebook. She began to make this type of gifts at the beginning of the quarantine, you can contact her by searching for her on instagram: (@ The.boxes.mb). She did what she could to survive the quarantine and she did well. From time to time, she does giveaways for people who want to enter and win a prize without paying.

BUSUU

Image
Busuu is an app to learn languages . The lessons are very well designed and the app is extremely easy to use. You just have to choose a language you want to learn and let the application guide you along the way. No matter what language you are learning, it teaches you real grammar concepts and how to use them, and that sounds great to us. We recommend this application because with the different interviews we had, everyone told us that learning English or other languages that open many work doors for you and with this app it is easy and simple to start and more now with the quarantine that you cannot go to face-to-face classes, we have apps that make learning easier for us.

I WANTED TO WRITE HIS NAME

I wanted to write his name, but I stopped at his second character I felt an unreal fear that transcended any writing. My pulse was steady, steady, almost mechanical. I was determined to get that sound out of my mind, to give it shape and life Almost like a new identity To place it in the middle of infinite spaces as the only manifestation of my unconscious. Of that constant, annoying and fussy sound that brought with it a million other people's memories. Not for the improper, if not for the distant. It was a short, concise sound that had already been spoken a million times. in different stocks and now claiming a new one. My firm fist revolted against any bias of rationality. He remained impetuous in anticipation of new commands This article has been written by BERCHIO Micaela and GAONA Renata.

AGAINST THE CLOCK

Image
The clock is ticking  I hope you´ll stick with me  The clock is on fire,  I have to connect these wires Even if I can´t find you  It´s beautiful to think about you Trying to find you I´m running out of time  I have to put all this pain aside  That’s the only way you´ll be by my side The end is near  And I can feel your fear, Don’t be scared We´ll go through this together Even if that means forever This poem has been written by BAUTISTA Luka, GONZÁLEZ Matías and PAREDES Iván.

ENOLA HOLMES

Image
This movie has action, a live story, mystery, etc. The story and the acting is wonderful.  The character Enola was played by Millie Bobby Brown, she was too in Stranger Things. This girl was a perfect election by the director because she IS Enola.  The character is rebel, feminist but not "female", she doesn't comply with the standars set at the time.  We recommend this film because it's very entertaining, reversing the story of Sherlock Holmes and gives it a feminist side that, by the time it was set up, was considered insane. It has action, mystery, history and performance made one of the best Netflix movies. Inside what art is, clothes, paintings, paintings, flowers, all framed and gives it a delicate touch. It's a funny movie, like everything set up for Sherlock Holmes, has its crime to solve and that totally trapping police mystery. This picture was taken on November 5th, 2020 from: shorturl.at/gkDTY As for the feminist movement within the film, it shows the ...

ROME

  All roads lead to Rome, And there’s a moon for every night of Paris. I keep searching for a miracle in the Sun, But it has your shadow. Love is wanting to find something, And lose yourself while trying to go in and out. Finally, it’s the time when the only thing I want Is watching you to do and undo our world, No matter what.

3 ISLANDS TO VISIT IN THAILAND

Image
The best time to travel to Thailand is between November and March, when the temperatures are pleasant and the landscapes shine in all their splendor. If you don't want to run into the rain, try to avoid traveling between July and October. 1. Phi Phi Islands: These four islands, Koh Phi Phi Don, Koh Phi Phi Leh, Koh Pai or Bamboo Island and Koh Yung or Mosquito Island, stand out for their paradisiacal beaches and their transparent turquoise water. Two quieter islands are Koh Pai and Koh Yung, while the largest island, Koh Phi Phi Don, is where the hotel infrastructure and restaurants are located and where you can enjoy a lively nightlife. 2. Koh LiPe: Known as the Thai Maldives, on this island you can still find some tranquility on its white sand beaches and transparent turquoise waters. Although inevitably, the growth of tourism in recent years, especially between the months of November to May, has also increased the offer in restaurants and hotels, so that little by little, that ...

IRUYA: THE HIDDEN AND MAGICAL PLACE

Image
If you like  beautiful landscapes, mountains, good people and nice weather, you should visit Iruya. It´s a pretty small town located in Salta, and it´s 317 kilometers away from the capital of the province also known as Salta. This village is very famous because it looks like it is hanging on the mountains. It is 46km away from the main road but it is a world away. It has a nice view and you can walk all over the town or go hiking to the mountains. You can see a lot of beautiful animals like mules, vicunas, condors and many other animals. Apart from the nature aspect, the town is very much influenced by its culture. You can eat a lot of indigenous foods, listen to folk music, buy handicrafts and enjoy the carnivals (if you go in the right dates). And if you want to go to a place like La Quiaca or Humahuaca, Iruya can be a very interesting stop. REFERENCES Lonely Planet. (s.f.). lonelyplanet.
