Retiro Park: Symbol Of Madrid


This is a huge green area in the middle of Madrid which has a long history and is full of sculpture and monuments that make this park an outdoor museum. With 118 acres, these gardens date back to the years 1630 and 1640, when the Count-Duke of Olivares, favorite of Philip IV, King gave him some land that had been ceded by the Duke of Fernan Nunez to the recreation of the Cut around the Monastery of Jeronimo de Madrid. Thus, the Fourth Real reform that stood the monastery, began the construction of the Palacio del Buen Retiro. He was then with about 145 hectares. There are many apartments in Madrid close to the park for a holiday.

Endure even the Cason del Buen Retiro, a former ballroom with frescoes by Luca Giordano, and called the Hall of Realms, a wing of the Palace of Buen Retiro once decorated with paintings by Velázquez and Zurbarán, among others, and the gardens of possession real.

The Rose Garden

Cecilio Rodriguez, outfielder Retirement Staff and Director of Parks and Gardens of Madrid City Council, held in 1915 the Rose Garden Retreat. The idea came from Mayor Carlos Prats, who suggested the need to make a rose garden in the style of those in many European parks.

The Rose Garden of Bagatelle in the Bois de Boulogne in Paris, created by Jean-Nicolas Forestier, became the model. Cecilio Rodriguez traveled to Paris to study and bring the first roses. During his stay World War broke out and spent many difficulties to return to Spain.

The rose is comprised of a variety of roses brought from the most famous gardens of Europe. Although totally destroyed in the Civil War in 1941 rose bushes were planted 4000. Despite its beauty, lack a systematic arrangement and clear exposition of the different nature rose within it. To remedy this lack, May 24, 1956, opened a new rose garden in the Parque del Oeste in Madrid, carried out under a rigorous botanical to be held annually in her contest with roses.

Monument to Alfonso XII

This is one of the most characteristic of the park and most impressive, is a sculpture located near the center of the Retiro Park.

The Walk of the Statues

Argentina's El Paseo del Retiro is popularly known as Statuary Walk because it is flanked by a series of them dedicated to the monarchs of Spain, he ordered to decorate the Royal Palace during the reign of Ferdinand VI. At first they were intended to adorn the cornice of the palace.

The figures were made by various authors under the direction of the court sculptor Juan Domingo Olivieri and Felipe de Castro. They came to stand on the ledge of the Royal Palace as can be seen in some engravings of the time, but the arrival of Carlos III in Madrid the king gave orders to withdraw, as he considered the overly ornate palace. For this reason, were placed in different parts of the city (Plaza de Oriente, El Retiro, the Sabatini Gardens) and some took other Spanish provinces.

He must be stopped


The meeting was so secret that many did not know their names. They knew what they were called the other, of course, because everyone he knew his own name. The call was adamant: "Maximum Emergency. At eight o'clock B-4. Once read, destroy this role?. There were twenty people with impeccable suits. Milan shirts. Gold Rolex. With an uncanny resemblance, as if they had a remote common ancestor. A tall man with a grin liver, rose at one end. 'Good afternoon, gentlemen,' he said, with negligible English accent. I am the representative of Lloyd's. Sorry I can not offer them tea and cakes, but is that tea time is over. The other nineteen representatives of major insurance companies in the world rebulleron restless. The tall man continued: 'Everyone is on the verge of bankruptcy. The losses increase and the actuarial tables used to shit. Amazed at his own vehemence lexical, English was about to apologize. But he restrained himself. The severity of the situation excused his slip of the tongue. And we know what is due, he said, banging his fist on the table. The losses increase because there is an individual who is jinxed.

There is a type-emphasized, which brings disgrace upon it touches, one Jose Gutierrez, who is more dangerous than the seven plagues of Egypt. He sat with a hesitation not studied. Had they really been seven plagues of Egypt? Would not it have messed up? He promised himself that he would ensure well, ironically, before making another appointment in the future. The ensuing silence was broken by a fat, ruddy: - Poor Gutierrez! It must be jinxed be a can ... - Poor, you say? Delicious! Poor us, we did not win to cover the policies. He, meanwhile, has become more professional and collects ten percent of insurance for each incident that causes.

The tall man opened his briefcase and handed out copies of the dossier of Jose Gutierrez. For he learned that Gutierrez, Joseph, son of Casimir and Eladia, received unemployment insurance, was responsible for 214 casualties in less than half a year. - A disaster and a half per day! -Whistled with admiration a Frenchman after becoming entangled in the r. Everything was explained in the dossier. Gutierrez spent the night in a five star hotel and that night a fire destroyed the twelve floors of the building. Another day changed billion pesetas on a bench and a half hour after the robbers were carrying 30 million. That same day he walked through the port and a wave tore the lighthouse. Again sent a postcard to a cousin of Cercedilla and an earthquake over a thousand cercedillenses. When the meeting finished reading the long dossier, it had become night. Again the tall man led them out of his reverie: - Well? 'It would have to do something, a guy with a monocle acknowledged. I can no longer support my dear. A wave of understanding swept the faces of the audience. The mistresses were getting very expensive. 'The only solution, he said softly a gray-faced man is to kill it.

For if others had not fully grasped the depth of his idea, the more clearly explained: - must be killed! Jose Gutierrez Kill! Three days after the secret meeting, the newspapers published the following news: "Jose Gutierrez, a construction worker unemployed, was saved from death by a miracle. A truck that broke the brakes was about to trample. Understandably, the truck, instead of hitting him, he rammed into the insurance company La Dolorosa, crumbling two-story building. It is regrettable seven deaths, numerous injuries and losses that are estimated at 200 million?. The next day, when Jose Gutierrez took a beer in a bar, a bullet grazed his cheek slammed into the chest of the financial Ordonez, whose life was insured for 300 million. There was a deeply felt mourning and Interior Minister promised to wipe out terrorism. Two days later, the plane that had taken passage Jose Gutierrez crashed in the Azores. Fortunately, Jose Gutierrez missed the flight because the driver had a flat tire way to the airport. Balance: 124 dead and nearly two billion in compensation.

That same week-breaking insurance companies. To no surprise, then, that within a few hours, committed suicide two executives from leading insurance companies. With a high sense of timing, Journal of Notices editorialized: "A case of bad luck?. He was dealt a new secret telegram: "Maximum Emergency. At five o'clock, C-6. This time there will be tea. Shred the paper as usual?. Even the claim of tea served to achieve a quorum. The Lloyd's man was alone this time. When British and lost his composure with the tea to cool, was about to swear, he realized that his 19 colleagues could not go because they had all committed suicide. Aged and sad, Jose Gutierrez thought before killing himself in turn. - You won, motherfucker! He muttered But you will never return Gibraltar. And a shot broke the silence of section C-6, leaving the room with a smell of gunpowder. The bullet, after jumping from English brains, smashed into the water pipe, causing a flood. The Lloyd's lost 180 million more. (This story was published in the journal On Thursday, in Barcelona on April 25, 1979.

Meanwhile the people of the shore, always with their backs to the water, threw back his own offering consistent also in gold and precious stones. When all the offerings were thrown into the lake, the king was submerged under water, and leaving them dust that covered his body, then returned to the raft.

The place where the king was plunged marked by a bright yellow stain, which shone like waves of molten gold. After paddling back to shore. Meanwhile, the fires burned gloriously fragrant smoke, like a cloud of incense, stole the sunlight, and the echoes reverberated deafened by the sound of chanting, the horns and trumpets. After the ceremony, the king and vassals were given to joy, and the national drink, which was a ferment of corn, then ran in torrents. After two or three days a universal revelry, the king was extended by his subjects to the palace. It was not so orderly and dignified return as it had been the march to the lake. The ceremony took place, as stated above, once a year. These events occurred centuries before America was discovered, and when Europeans still knew nothing of their existence. The Spanish were the first Europeans to come to the shores of South America. The first indigenous people they found was vague news of the great nation chibcha, who lived hundreds of miles to the south.

There was talk of it as a prosperous empire, whose inhabitants were rich, wise and skilled in the arts of peace and war. There they learned that newcomers Chibcha king covered his body with gold dust and then plunged into the waters of a sacred lake, which also threw gold and jewels there that his subjects did the same. From there came the name of El Dorado. As the news were very vague as to where the empire was located chibcha did not know the Spanish and other Europeans who have heard of Mystic Lake and Golden King, in what precise direction they should go to find those people so rich and that lagoon where would be a priceless treasure, accumulated there over the centuries. Many and daring explorers set off in all directions, through intricate forests, over towering mountain ranges, along rivers and endless valleys, pushing through with the arms between savage and hostile tribes, in search of land of El Dorado, that is the nature of man run over by any danger and put the chest to the most arduous enterprises thirst for gold when the guide.

The empire was discovered after a daring Spanish explorer. Were defeated the Chibcha and were subjects of the king of Spain, lost their wealth along with their freedom. Thus fell the country of El Dorado under Spanish domination. Mystic Lake was discovered, but still lie beneath the waters of the treasures that were thrown there. Bochica seems that Zoe and watch over them have been few vain efforts have been made to rescue them, the Mystic Lake offerings faithfully guards a town that was powerful and whose glory days are lost in the distant past. The legend of El Dorado still attracts men to Mystic Lake, sitting there in the basin of a peak in the heart of South America, where the equatorial sun adorns the earth with a perpetual spring vegetables.?

Bochica I "The Chibcha people lived in a wide plain located in the heart of the vast South American continent. The plain is that part of the globe where the sun's rays fall vertically mind like water from the clouds. That part of the land is called the tropics. It is very hot there, and no winter ever. In the land of the Chibcha heat was not so big, because they lived in a | Plateau, which is a plain at the summit of the mountains. The Chibcha were very ignorant in the past: they did not know till the land or building comfortable, lived poor and hungry, fed on fruits and roots, with birds and beasts who killed with his arrows, and fish caught in their nets . Had little with which to cover the body. They were what is called wild. The Chibcha Indians were short, yellow skin and flat nose. One day a man appeared among them white, golden beard. He came dressed in clothes that covered her entire body, and was kind and generous. Soon learned that his name was Bochica. He told them he had a superior being, a God whose name was Zoe, who had created man, animals, plants, rocks, water, air, and that existed in the land, rivers and lakes, and everything looked like the sun, moon and stars.

Zoe said to them, also directed by the course of the seasons, the movement of the stars and the fate of men, ie, life and death, pain and joy. At first the Chibcha not understand what it all meant, for the understanding of them was like the children, for whom every day of the year and every hour of the day brings a new surprise. Gradually, however, these ideas became more clear to them and understand, to some extent at least, there was a Supreme Being, creator and computer all things visible and invisible. Bochica II also taught them the art of cultivating the land. He showed that the seeds planted at certain times of the year, burst in seedlings often that, nourished by the earth and rain, and warmed by the sun, were growing in size, and eventually produced fruits, which caught at maturity , supplied power to secure farmers. Also instructed him on how to keep your fruit to last until next harvest, redeeming their own hunger and misery. Bochica people knew that there are many plants whose leaves and stems may remove certain wires, called fibers, they learned to twist and weave in a fabric, to be dressed and covered the body.

Then they knew that the Chibcha certain shrub called cotton wool could take a natural, proper to make cloth and blankets. Bochica indoctrinated began building adobe houses, driving stakes into the ground, filling the interstices with clay, which, dried by the sun, forming the walls and ceilings covered with straw, as a protection against the sun and rain. Bochica construr also taught appropriate networks that they had to catch the fish in lakes and rivers and to build better bows and arrows to kill hunting in the forests and birds in the air. That was the life of the Chibcha completely changed in appearance after a short time, and because they had clothes, fine houses and plenty of food. In all directions, growing the crops of grain, and the people satisfied and happy living. III was not limited to the teachings of Bochica: enseñole also the people the law of love and charity to keep the peace ordenoles each other and with the neighbors that each is respected as he earns himself with his work , that every one contribute to the welfare of others and obey their rulers and respected the laws established for the government of the community.

Bochica assured that once lived according to what they had taught, would be happy and would enjoy the protection and blessings of Zoe, the supreme ruler of the world, and that, conversely, if they were not just and virtuous, if you forgot the Zoe worship, if they were proud and cruel and evil, the punishment would fall on them Zoe. IV After having led the people from poverty to ease, from ignorance to knowledge of the arts that were to make him rich and happy, Bochica disappeared without anyone knowing where or when she was gone. The Chibcha remembered his teachings for a long time. His wealth increased every day, they built villages and towns, temples devoted to Zoe, the Almighty, and traded with neighboring peoples, changing their tissues so that these people could provide them, it was gold mainly. They soon learned to work the gold and make charms and bejeweled ornaments with which their persons or carrying as offerings to the altars of the temples. They held several wars with its neighbors and emerged victorious, extended their dominions to the east and west, south and north, and the empire came to be prosperous and great.

Over the years, however, and the wealth and prosperity, the Chibcha became proud and dominant were cruel, they forgot the worship of God and given to drunkenness. The kings did not give good example to the people rather outweighed the vices and cruelties subjects. They had forgotten the teachings of Bochica as it relates to the conduct of everyday life. VY happened that fell upon them the punishment announced by Bochica. As stated, the Empire chibcha was seated in a great plain, on top of high mountains. Around the plain other chains rose even higher mountains, so that it was a valley enclosed on all sides. By the middle of the valley ran a beautiful river, which was joined by numerous streams coming from different directions. One day it rains unleashed violence on the ground. Came another day and another and another and the rain was still falling in ways never seen before. Hincháronse the river and streams, and departed mother and started to cover the earth. The water level was rising gradually and continuously.

Inundáronse fields, the houses were surrounded by the waves, and there was no inch of land that was not submerged under water. And the rain was still falling and roamed the valley raging torrents and untestable. It flooded the homes of the men and the waters are rising, rising higher and higher. People leave their homes in terror of the valley and climb the nearby hills. But do not stop the waters rise, and the plain is a vast lake which have disappeared under houses, temples and trees, and the waters are still rising, rising, rising, higher and higher. It reached the first hills where people have gathered and forced to climb the higher mountain sides, but the rising water does not stop and then soaked hills and the people take refuge on the tops of the most steep hills. The rain continues to fall with the same violence the first day. The people lacked food shelter and did not know where to go, and the waters rising and threatening them, chased them up every inch of their last refuge. Then they understood that the deluge was the chastisement predicted by Bochica and sent by Zoe, on pain of so many vices and sins.

And in their hearts to trouble again Bochica, Master and Protector. And prayed with anguish and begged him to save them from death. And behold, the black clouds covered the sky suddenly tore, and a flood of light, of that beloved sunlight, they not seen since the beginning of the flood, came to fall into the murky waters and the shocked crowd. And Bochica was seen up above the clouds, his kindly face shone like the sun. In his hand he carried a golden staff, which was like a king's scepter. Bochica Chibcha told that Zoe, took pity on them, gave them life, and that this flood would remind them, their children, and children's children, who had duties towards God and towards others men. Then download on the top of a powerful blow with his golden scepter, the mountain opened in frightful abyss, and there launched huge roaring waters of the lake, to come down, after that leap furious, in a deep valley Beyond the mountains, forming a wonderful waterfall that shakes the fields with his roar of thunder.

White as a cloud of incense, emerged from the background vapor column, on which, when touched by the rays of the sun, broke all the colors of the rainbow. Such was the origin of the mighty cataract, present evidence that flood formidable and time that Zoe heard the prayers of his people and saved him from destruction. The lake began to decline, in a slow and steady, as they had gone, the waters went down, and within days the land was returned to be completely dry. The Chibcha rebuilt their houses and temples, cultivated fields as before, and kept in memory the memory of the terrible days when the entire nation was about to perish.? Foundation of Santa Fe "The expedition's main inland from Santa Marta began in August 1536, the lawyer and Chief Justice Don Gonzalo Jimenez de Quesada, with 820 footmen and 85 horses, while their officers, with 5 ships and 200 men, should follow upstream the Magdalena. This expedition down the river was almost completely annihilated. Quesada, meanwhile, rose amid continuing struggles with the Indians, through the impenetrable rain forest, full of thorny plants and tight trunks full of poisonous spiders, worms, scorpions and snakes, bats and mosquitoes.

The soldiers, their bodies wounded and torn clothes, ate fruits and roots, it seems that the expedition had to eat up the leather of their equipment. Some had been blinded, others walked lame, others were caught up in the hammocks where they slept, by tigers, which often increasingly in his attack on the expedition. Often troops threatened mutiny, but the unshakable determination of the head relentlessly pushed forward by the high peaks that today are held to be inaccessible to pedestrians, much less to riders, and that, therefore, are far and abandoned all communication. One day the expedition from a high mountain spotted large fields, large fields of corn and potatoes, fruit trees and flower gardens. And in that pleasant region, and abundant fresh water, people were happy too. The Indians, terrified by the roar of guns and beside himself at the sight of the horses, which they believed to form a single being with the rider, holding them by superior creatures, underwent almost no resistance and they bowed before God and the power of the conquerors. They brought food and drink, brought them hunting, pigeons and rabbits and all kinds of roots, they had even some old people and children to be killed, as were the Spanish by cannibals.

Cloth stretched in their path, burned incense and poured on the ground with both hands gold and emeralds. The cast received one thousand dollars each of the soldiers. The conquistadors arrived in the country had Chibcha or Muisca of, in the highlands of Tunja and Bogota, an empire which, as we shall see, had a relatively developed culture. After the peaceful inhabitants of Savannah were subject, not without some unnecessary stop committed cruelties and murders in the person of their chiefs, Quesada decided to build a city at some point favorable and appropriate. He chose this place for spreading Zipa (Teusaquillo probably). A site called his Quesada Santa Fe for its resemblance to the village of the same name near Granada founded Their Catholic Majesties Isabella and Ferdinand in the wars against the Moors. Quesada sent up in Santa Fe twelve thatched huts around a church with thatched roof also. On August 6, 1538, two years after start up from the coast, Jimenez de Quesada went to the site of the foundation. All of the horses fell and he was pulling some weeds, took possession of those places on behalf of the Emperor Charles V.

A summary record of the notary office, which also stipulated that all lands hereafter discovered llamaríanse New Kingdom of Granada, from its resemblance to the Spanish kingdom of the same name.

Globalisation and its Impact on Venezuelan higher education




What matters is not what makes you life, but what you do with what life has to hace.EDGAR JACKSON

Summary

It is a fact, as economic scenarios, trade in the various countries that make up the planet Earth are becoming increasingly proactive, generate the most interesting challenges and, require universities to our interest in analysis, are linked more to the great challenges that arise, leading to be vigilant in providing all the skills required in the various disciplines to ensure their countries of origin that promotes participation and deal successfully with all that it follows.

Consider, as it says in monografía.com serch, which increasingly become interdependent societies in all aspects of his life, political, economic and cultural development and the extent of such interdependence becomes truly global. "No country is an island self-sufficient." Humanity encompasses all the people who live on the globe. Today we can speak of a global structure of politics, economics, cultural relations, which goes beyond any traditional boundaries and connecting separate companies into one system. As Peter Worsley said, "until today never existed human society."

Keywords

Knowledge, challenges, professionals, transformations, needs

Basic considerations, scope, impact

We remember very well buenastareas.com about it, definitely, the word "globalization" has been gaining space in the stands on a global scale, which is due in large part to the obvious concern of governments, national, and communication in general, the growing economic interdependence of countries and the adverse consequences that may be associated with this process. One of the manifestations of globalization is the new structure of trade in goods and services. In fact it is significant, as over recent years the growth of international trade exceeds that of world output.

Of course, it is important as noted, that these effects can be beneficial because it represents new business opportunities, opening new markets, greater streamlining and efficiency of production, etc.., But in turn are the cause of recent crises and the profound changes we are witnessing in the world.

Of course, to meet the challenges, the opportunities it originates, it requires the collaboration, a dynamic role, proactive responsibility on the part of universities in all disciplines, to train, train skilled professionals able to meet the challenges, generate transformations, the collaboration necessary for the country to go ahead, otherwise the effect of globalization affect the country's development and lead to many countries as opposed to being dependent on those that have been identified fully with the positive reach of globalization.

In this respect I share this reality in a paper published on this topic by Dr. Magda Cejas, director of? Area faces Graduate of the University of Carabobo, Valencia Venezuela, it is necessary to take into account the reality of Globalization and its impact on education, being aware of the influx of new situations arise therefrom, the advancement, innovation and re conceptualization of the educational process to the emergency have some countries, such as our case set a rehabilitation policy in their training systems. Thus, traditional systems are no longer configured with reality, this moment is articulated with an appreciation of human labor, characterized by the importance in knowing that the employee applies in their jobs in favor of the organization. This recognition and assessment capabilities are focused on demonstrating students, adding also the responsibility of the universities have dynamic teachers, visionaries, strategists, facilitators to interpret the true extent to which globalization generates and its impact and give way to knowledge, tools required to ensure favorable results.

Venezuelan universities, especially public ones, dependent on the state, can not remain anchored to the dynamic challenges of globalization demand the authorities should identify with what it represents, remain dynamic events before it follows, giving way to new professions, according to the latest knowledge advancement of science, technology, define a new professional profile, with new skills according to the discipline that offers curriculum design related to the reality of the environment, linked more to the advancement technology in all its aspects, evaluate, analyze, diagnose the national situation, needs and everything that comes from Globalization.

It should also consider exposing the source mentioned above, that the trend towards globalization has changed the fundamental quality of historical processes. Anything that happens anywhere has global implications and global determinants. The regional or national level are not enough, national or regional stories and does not make sense. And the emphasis must rest on those historical processes that cross over the boundaries of the traditional units of analysis (states, regions, areas) to expand around the globe. Simply put, in the globalized world, the story flows differently, have new agents, new mechanisms and new directions, and this can not be ignored.

Again I agree with the opinion of Dr. Magda Cejas, when an analysis of the need to give way to new skills in the professional training required to meet the challenges of globalization and highlights very well, do not forget, competency that must be seen as an investment in human development, linked to the goals of educational institutions with a high sense of professionalism, knowledge well marked, values, identification with the organization, initiative, leadership, guidance towards the achievement, concern for quality, teamwork, interpersonal sensitivity among others, as well as the representation of a productive and competitive.

In short, it is critical that the public or private Venezuelan university redesign its educational management of transition to a new vision to restructure their role, responsibility and above all the challenges, opportunities, generated scope of Globalization

You need a new behavior, performance of teachers that integrate the universities, but adapted and attuned to reality, creators of new models to ensure new learning more consonant with the characteristics of the current scenario and growth of new educational technologies .

Swimming With Sharks How Nodrizas Gris?


Nurse sharks in 1984 became the first shark species to be protected, although the numbers remain limited due to the mass slaughter in the 60's when they thought they were the cause of shark attacks men .

"The nurse shark is a shark species inhabiting the seabed, can measure up to 4 m in length and can be found in tropical waters like those of Central America.

His mouth is much smaller than that of other sharks on their size and feeds by sucking shellfish, then shredding with crooked teeth. Although they look intimidating, it is usually harmless. You can attack if provoked and feel when you bite, their jaws are sealed and must be forced to open. The female gives birth to live young. "(Wikipedia)

The nurse shark population of Australia does not exceed 1000 individuals. It's kind of slow reproduction and has taken years to recover.

In Australia there are many places where lovers of sharks can dive. Wolf Rock, 6 miles from Rainbow Beach in Queensland, is one of the few dive sites where the gray nurse sharks are seen regularly.

Now. How to swim with these sharks?

• Step 1

Fly to Brisbane, Australia, and then to Noosa Heads, from there you can rent a car to the nearby Playa de Arco Iris.

• Step 2 Contact the dive tour groups, Wolf Rock is one of them can be booked through www.wolfrockdive.com.au plus get plenty of information.

• Step 3

You can rent equipment from the web too (usually charge $ 185 for a double dip).

• Step 4

In the place a rubber boat-boat will take you to the reef 6 km from the beach "Rainbow". You will see other forms of marine life and schools of gray nurse sharks can be seen throughout the year.

The graceful swimming marine fish species and many others will make an unforgettable immersion in particular for those who love sharks.

Paradigm Shift in Education: Talk To A Pedagogical Re-Routing


RODRIGUES, Judite Filgueiras [1]

The process of development does not coincide with learning, but is a parameter which creates the potential area. Hence the importance of cultural context and their relationships with individuals in defining a course for the development of the subject. We can say that the process of globalization of world economy necessarily involved in educational practice. We feel that this new reality also sees a greater appreciation of technological development, which opens and becomes more prominent at the end of the twentieth century. The computer comes into existence as a domestic property, such as telephone, enables a variety of communicative activities for men.

Not just at work looking for that relationship to a whole. Also, in education, our desire is to train the whole man, in an interdisciplinary perspective. You need to enable school students with comprehensive training, able to consider that reality is made up of different aspects.

This type of education, certainly leads to autonomy. The true citizenship occurs in men independent, capable critical position, not only with words but with actions, ie whole body education.

The national curriculum standards and the Law of Guidelines and Bases pointing in the direction of that teaching position. However, to assume, it is necessary that educators and politicians involved in education to achieve a radical change, which is very complex. The main objective of the national curriculum standards is to promote teaching methods, particularly teachers, to assist in the development and / or reworking the curriculum, stamping educational project construction, depending on the student.

National curricular lines, the national curriculum standards of the various levels of education and a number of other official documents relating to education in Brazil have been placed in line with global trends: the need to focus teaching and learning in developing competencies and skills by the student, rather than focusing on conceptual content. That implies a change from the school, which certainly has to be prepared for that. The competition involves a mobilization of knowledge. In order to meet all mission - education, according to UNESCO, should be organized around four key learning throughout life, will in some way to each individual, the pillars of knowledge:

· Learn to know, that is acquiring the instruments of understanding.

· Learn to do, to act on the environment.

· Learn to live together, in order to participate and cooperate with others in all human activities.

· Learn to be, which integrates the three preceding ones.

These four pillars were identified in the report of the International Commission on Education in the XXI century by the Organization of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization-UNESCO).

Of course, these four pillars of knowledge are just one of many points of contact, relationship and change. We can not think about isolated events, because we know intrinsic harmony in the universe, a fundamental connection with each complete element, alive or not, have to consider the operation of all, as well as learning and embodiment, in a political relationship -teaching, the body being understood as an integrated body that interacts with the physical, social and cultural development.

This means the enhancement of teacher and student in his integrity, and the possibility of establishing constructive learning environments, created pointing to the school and education in the pursuit of this new paradigm: the embodiment.

Educational redirection

To understand the learning process we delve into the theoretical-epistemological cultural-historical theory emphasizing the corporeality.

The current situation motivates the development of a teaching practice student-centered body-subject of education. That search involves an educational activity that engages the teacher in a critical-reflexive.

For a possible re-routing teaching in the search for the topic "Corporate? in the conception of teachers, body and mind should be understood as components that comprise a single organism. Both must have school-based, not a mind to learn and to transform body, but both must be emancipated. Because of the view that the school only needs to mobilize the mind, the body is reduced to a nuisance, that the more still are, the less will be confused. (Freire, 1997).

The current crisis has deep roots in the annihilation of the subjects destroyed by a scientific paradigm that divided them available to the end.

The Cartesian paradigm [2] which appeared in modernity is to define the paradigm of separation. All are condemned to separation, body, soul and emotion, subject and object, human and human nature, inner and outer, self and other, so on. Modern science systematized by Descartes and Newton established by scientific research rejecting a subjective, emotion and desire were impaired consciousness.

Thus, the human self was lost and was sentenced to a terrible loneliness. In this break, broke his own ethics of religion and the construction process of being human. The universe was disappointing and robbing of the most significant characteristics that give meaning to life as a whole. Paradigm of simplicity we turn to the paradigm of complexity. Everything is built on a historical process of interaction. We need to break the relationship of schizophrenia with nature and have dialogue with it. With this, we love to the universe again disappointed by the old paradigm of division between humans and nature.

But the revolution does not stop there, in the twentieth century, some scientists are beginning to distrust even more the division imposed by Cartesianism.

Biologists had a very significant contribution to the paradigm shift because they claimed the idea that living organisms are integrated systems. With this, insisted on the idea that everything is much more than the sum of its parts. There is, therefore, something else that needs to be sought so that we can understand life and the cosmos. And this something else, for these scientists, is not material, but are patterns of relationship. They discover that all depends on the interactions and that turns out to be emergent properties that depend on them. They then to a revolutionary conclusion: the pattern of all that is alive or not, is a network, all tied to everything.

In the course of these findings, research in recent decades in biology, especially studies of the Chilean Humberto Maturana and Francisco Varela bury the old paradigm. These scientists reaffirm the network as a model of life and maintain that living things are autopolipoides, or self-builders themselves. They bring the idea of ​​creative autonomy of living beings to the extent that everything is created through interaction in various aspects that make up the living being.

From there, say a radical constructivism in the sense that there is no outside world responsible for our evolution. The outside world is just disturbing, each of us learn and live in an original way. We have to create our life and living, in this there is a oneness of knowing, being and living, they are integrated deeply with our views of teaching and learning.

If we consider the theory of Maturana and Varela (2001) of autopoiesis need to constantly analyze our potential through interaction. The axis of the new paradigm of science is organized around the idea of ​​network. So each of us as a node on the network that can potentiate a very strong this organization, since construction driven by the energy of love arises a situation quite revolutionary in modern science: the science dispelled emotions traditional knowledge and the distractors were brought by the New Biology as the essence of scientific research. For Maturana, love is essential.

As an educator and researcher wonder: what kind of consequences can have those divisions with separate subject? If we consider recent research, not just biology, but the cognitive sciences in general, are targeting connectivity as a basic condition for building knowledge and subject, then we think that education is practiced today in this kind of context as a violence of biological needs.

Biology, however, seeks to prove that we learn in reality because the thrill of connecting other affectionately. This means that all dimensions of being, which is a microcosm within a macrocosm, is immersed in the process of being, of love and know. How then to think in those concrete utopias, not isolated in our daily actions, our lives as educators in the classroom with our students in our professional lives working in these webs of life? How to think about the physicality of the school?

As sustenance for our actions there is a new culture now emerging and that we may serve as a model of thought and action for our practice. A new phase is emerging: The human body exceeds the animal's biological body and reaches the dimension of culture.

At this point, we resort to Freire (1991), who said: "The body is the basis of the sensible, and intelligible, that is embedded in blood, sweat and tears as to the sensible. The thinking being, is the same feeling. He who thinks, without feeling, and not a being. If any of the two missing, is the same as missing it. In many of his works Freire brings the idea of ​​the body as an integrated whole where matter and spirit, the sensible and the intelligible must be designed in the same process. Questions the school environment, ways to learn the separation of inseparable, ethereal distance from the body. It also deals with the philosophy of education, directed toward the growth process of the subject in its entirety.

It will accentuate the need for observation of the body in a new way of seeing. The education that we should allow self-knowledge, understanding of himself and his world, pleasure, and developing a critical awareness, promoting and encouraging the student body-subject of learning to express their ideas through a pedagogical act consistent, and from there, to express their physicality and their ability to adapt, favoring the same structural links that relationship corporeality political-pedagogical and learning.

Peace and simplicity of San Javier and Yacanto - Cordoba - Argentina


After traveling hundreds of miles, crossing routes and landscapes so similar as different, which dominated the Pampas plains and harvested fields offer us their best side, I perceived a change of air. With the arrival of Achill, on the border of the provinces of Cordoba and San Luis, everything is becoming more interesting. The vast plain is giving way to the undulations and sharp turns that cause the mountains, but above all gives way to a wonderful landscape, meadows, valleys and towns with enviable calm. I feel the microclimate of the ever famous beautiful city of Merlo, where I make my last stop before crossing back to Cordoba, to meet the fascinating and mysterious places of Traslasierra. Even the name of the region puts more intrigue on arrival. Traslasierra, a place behind the mountains, perhaps hidden or marked differences with his other hand. But all these questions are beginning to unravel when he reached the city of La Paz, first place this set of unforgettable mountain villages. There we find the legendary Hotel Loma Bola and the only gas station a few miles around.

Following trip, we passed Crossing, Luyaba and population, small picturesque villages, to finally lead to Yacanto and San Javier, towns brothers, stuck on the same street and almost indivisible. In San Javier I find the popular Church Square with its well maintained, typical bars and grocery stores in these towns, a store, a craft shops and a corner is an arena with horses and donkeys for the adventure of the most boys. They also call attention to the 4x4 parked in the square.

I tired of the journey in search of the place I will stay in these days of disconnection. Going up a dirt road, I see the signs indicate that I speak in the same direction as the ascent of the legendary Cerro Champaquí. Step adobe huts and pretty old houses, people crossed the spa, I'm going up, and think I'm going to intern in the mountains. The road becomes more winding, when I finally saw the place, it seems a dream. To enter I have to cross a small stream that allows me to appreciate this magnificent place, full of vegetation and with an imposing image of Champaquí in the background. I can take all the peace that gives me this town, I knew that everything that is left out, I am in a unique place, frozen in time. I invite you to take a walk along the path of Ambrose, a stone path, crossing small rivers and pools of clear water. I meet a few residents from San Javier and Yacanto, who refuse to modernity and continue with their old traditions and customs. You see in the grocery stores with their horses .....

Back in the square I feel to have a glass of wine in one of the busiest bar tables, and my table sits Joseph, a resident but not so original and has a few years living there. He tells me a little history of this whole area and I proudly named, the new characters began to visit not long ago: I speak of Fito Paez, Cecilia Roth, Fernando Mirás, tells me that his tune Cordoba. " Vip .. are a people ...", "... that they even gringos from Europe to see this wonder ....". And what I say is a reality, is a people mixed between locals and outsiders, something that was unthinkable five years ago. Where some celebrities choose for their days off. It is getting dark and the lighting is square, with its exhibition of crafts, rides and see that I'm lucky because there is a rock that night in the courtyard of the church with empanadas and wine. After that long night, I wake up with a mountain breakfast that fills me with energy, after a dip in the pool, and a small tour of the green space in the cabins.

The owners are waiting for me with a mountain goat and a good wine. Do not know how to thank you so much hospitality, I did spend some very special days. No doubt I'm planning to return and stay longer, but slowly my head back to thinking about the work routine and luckily I put them aside in this beautiful journey.

Tips for assembling Suitcases


On this occasion, I offer some tips to consider when assembling the bag to avoid what usually happens: take everything and use less than half of what we packed!

- Think about how many days travel, to what destination, how is the weather there and what kind of activities we do is essential to choose suitable clothes and accessories and to start to rule out everything not needed for this trip.

- Before starting to assemble the bag, it is best to put everything that we want to take the trip based on the bed and see the possible combinations of garments. This pack is essential to avoid unplanned and will identify missing and what clothing abound.

- Choose basic items without too flashy colors: these clothes are easier to combine so you will need to bring fewer clothes.

- To provide versatility to these basic items, we suggest supplementing with accessories (handkerchiefs, scarves, necklaces, earrings, rings, belts, etc.), which tend to occupy less space than the clothes, so we can carry more accessories, and with the same clothes, create different sets.

I hope these tips will be useful.

The new Vocational Training


During these months, has spoken at length about the direction you should take the training, we study a new type of dual vocational training, which the students the option of vocational training, studying at school morning and afternoon training in a job, pay, from the beginning, thus the student, a total professional training, and job placement opportunities after graduation, if all these measures are just using the system vocational training, not only help reduce youth unemployment after completing their studies, but also favor somehow reduce the level of early school leavers, as it gives the student the possibility of being able to do their paid work training practices professional. It is a fact, get uan remuneration is one of the main reasons for dropping out, not so long ago we watched as the increased dropout because of the promise of quick cash by the bubble of the brick, then, the list seemed the who left their studies.

Fortunately, it is not the only change in the vocational training that is being studied perform, but also a bit now moving away from the training itself, is studied in compulsory implement a new CALs which the student may choose according to their preferences, assess existing training options as specific training for entrepreneurs, an orientation to the wide range of vocational or high school graduates. All these new provisions, they become attractive because they involve a change in the methodology used for now as well as for university education and in turn to train future profesionalEl vocational training in Spain, passes inevitably by making changes to the model formation is correct and conforms to current demand and professional work.

The training of the future should take action to work toward a dual training, which combine training and employment, changing the current in-service training model, which is detrimental to the student directly. It should also be directed at improving non-formal vocational training, as the current model approved certified training courses (about 4 per year) slows the development of vocational training focused on emerging professions. If this also includes active policies to promote job placement and continuing commitment to training, we will move toward a future training. These are some of the measures proposed for the future of professional training courses in the report "Education and Training" developed by the Institute of Economic Studies at the request of the Spanish Confederation of Business Organizations, which examines the Spanish educational system, highlighting some deficiencies, such as the lack of transparency in schools, as well as autonomy and control of results.

Alitalia will fly on biofuel


Alitalia CEO Rocco Sabelli, CEO of Robert Solena and

Solena CEO Italy Stefano Bugliosi, signed a letter of intent Alitalia brand and Solena to initiate a study on the feasibility of building a plant capable of converting municipal solid waste (biomass promiscuous) in a significant portion of fuel jet aircraft fleet needs of Alitalia, which ensures the reduction of emissions of greenhouse gases and provides a stable supply of fuel for air travel company. Present at the signing of the agreement was the Hon. Willer Bordon, president of Enalg SpA, an associate company and driver Solena Solena Group Italia SpA said that the aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of implementing a system for the conversion of hundreds of thousands of tons of municipal solid waste (mixed biomass ) into biofuel for aircraft, in order to cover part of the fuel needs of Alitalia, which reduces the consumption of conventional jet fuel and as a result of emissions of CO2 into the atmosphere (up to 96%).

The use of technology Solena Group produce alternative aviation fuel through a process of high-temperature gasification of waste, which will become the so-called "synthesis gas".

This gas becomes liquid through an industrial chemical process called FischerTropsch.

Alitalia and Solena believe this innovative conversion process can contribute to a significant reduction in emissions of greenhouse gases (CO2) generated by the fleet of aircraft.

Solena Group also plans to involve national and local authorities in the construction project. The technology proposed by Solena Group also offers a solution to the problem of dispersion of solid waste in landfills, avoiding gas emissions harmful to health and the environment.

The agreement between Alitalia and Solena Group is part of the innovative program called Green Sky has already seen Solena Group cooperate with British Airways for the conversion of high percentages of municipal solid waste in metropolitan London in fuel for aircraft operating at Heathrow .

Special Needs Tourists


Currently there are different segments of tourists that must be addressed in accordance with very specific needs and demands. Examples are birders in a country with a great diversity of species, the lovers of adventure sports, especially the trek and climbing in a country that holds the highest tropical mountain world and the most spectacular places to walk your path as star: THE CLASSIC INCA TRAIL, and lovers of good food and drink that are in Peru, a country with an amazing diversity gastronomy.

Will a few years when we were referring to tourists, the term was general and tour operators develop strategies without distinction to a wide range of tourists who had different needs and demands therefore, different types of services.

Nowadays with all the changes that have taken root in communities and the process of globalization, tourists have more informed and therefore more demanding.

Many years ago when even the names of Palakala, Azpitia, LACHAY LOMAS DE ISLANDS OF ANCON YAUYOS and others were still unknown to the Peruvians themselves, Ecoadventure living gambling in those places as well as so-called "culinary tours", which today is more often offered as.

Other groups like Tarpuy, Clean Air Freundeskreis, Cordillera, Peru bike and a few others that began in the late 80's also helped to pioneer routes trek, efforts now are crystallized with a steady growth of tourists who go Huaraz, Cusco and Arequipa - trekeros our main destinations.

Other segments that show rapid growth is oriented to gay and lesbian travelers, whose numbers are not yet quantified but there is reference for assessing this progress. It is worth noting for example that the city of Buenos Aires is considered the capital "more friendly" to these people and this segment is providing a stimulus to the tourist arrivals.

In the last two years Lima has become a new center in South America for music lovers, with the arrival of soloists and ensembles of world renown. Today this allows music lovers come from different neighbors.

However, a segment that has not grown significantly is the one linked to the events and trade fairs, which in different parts of Europe, for example, have helped increase the flow of tourists. Events like Mistura, the Book Fair or the International Mining Fair should become the drivers of this segment.

The agenda is broad and requires that Peru provide social stability and security and the private sector to continue investing in infrastructure that will enable more and better means of communication, hotels and all I can offer more comfort to tourists.

From this place of the magical mist.
