Lo que ingerimos no sale de la misma forma que cuando lo expulsamos de nuestro cuerpo. Pero, ¿porque es que la materia fecal tiene el color característico?.
Esto se debe a el proceso por el cuál lo que ingerimos se transforma en materia fecal. La bilirrubina es el responsable del color de la materia fecal. La bilirrubina es un compuesto de color amarillo. Luego, esta, es capturada por el hígado (órgano que se encarga del pre-procesamiento para expulsar lo que el cuerpo no necesita) y la vierte en el intestino delgado.
Una vez que la bilirrubina esta en el intestino delgado, se transforma a biliverdina, que tiene un color verde. Sucedido esto, la biliverdina cambia a un color marrón, asemejándose al negro.

Climates
Equatorial
The equatorial climate lie 5º South and North from the Equator. The main areas where this climate exist are Congo (Africa) and the Amazon (South America). Temperatures are high and constant all the year. The annual range of temperature if from 2º, this happens because the sun hits directly to the equator all the year. Annual rainfall is from 2000 mm to 1500 mm. It rains everyday a little because of the evotranspiration.
Tropical Continental
They are found in central parts of continents, away from coasts. Tropical Continental are between 5º to 15º North and South of the Equator. This climate has a wet and a dry season. The hot, wet occurs when the sun is overhead. Temperatures become colder when wind increase and the pressure fall.
The Monsoon
South-West Monsoon: Warm air rises and pressure is low. The air is forced to rise over mountains. This produce a big amount of rainfalls. For example, in Mumbai, it rains over 2000 mm in five months. Floods can be caused because of the high rainfalls. On the other hand, in the Himalayas, it keeps dry, which is given with the name of rainshadow.
North-West Monsoon: Between November and May (during te northern winter). This climate appear at the North of the Himalaya, where temperatures are low. There are small amounts of rain, for example in Mumbai, a graph shows that it rains only 45 mm in seven months.
Hot desert
The annual temperature is very high. Small amounts of rain, less than 250 mm of rain in a year, also transpiration is very high because of high temperatures. They are located between 5º and 30º North and South from the Equator. Temperatures at day can raise up to 50º, but during night they decrease. Deserts are very dry because the wind is not must.
Cold desert
It is located to the pole-ward side of 60º North (Eurasia). In winter, temperatures are under -20º. Cold winters are very long, and dark. In comparison to winter, summer are very short and warm. Temperatures in summer can rise up to 20º.

La lucha por sobrevivir
Una decisión muy difícil que tiene que tomar una persona cuando un familiar cercano muere, es elegir si donar sus órganos o no hacerlo. A veces la decisión no es tan difícil si el tema sobre la donación de organos cadavericos es aportado por la persona antes de fallecer, habla con sus familiares sobre el tema y toma una decisión, esto simplificaria la decisión. Una entrada realizada en la página de wordpress acerca del proyecto Donar es Amar, me llamo la atención al ver una imagen y su descripción. Esta misma explica lo dificil que es llevar a cabo y los sentimientos que una persona y la familia de este padece cuando necesita órganos, que la persona afectada pelea por sobrevivir tratando de conseguir un órgano de alguna donación, ya sea en vida o cadavérica.

A Frightening Experience
Last night, at 3:20 am,while I was alone in my house, something weird was happening upstairs. I heard noises coming from there, They weren't common noises, they were mysterious and terrible. I feltparanoid, as if someone wanted to hurt me. My bedroom was on the second floor, and I was frightened of going up. Later, at 4 am I was sleepy and I decided to go up and asked my self "what is going to happen? What can those strange noises be?" I took courage, got a knife and went upstairs. While i was going up, the noise came louder . I was walking fearless. However, in the inside I was dying of fear.
Now, I was on the second floor and I realised that something was moving in my room, it was a shadow behind the door. I felt insecure of getting inside my room as I didn't know what was going to happen. The door opened inmediately alone. I took a deep breath and went in. The door closed behind me. There wasn't anyone I could see. I raised my head and saw amalicious and scuffy creature, he went down and stood up in front of me. I was terrified, I was like a rock, I couldn't move until he said
"Let the game begin"
Who who are you?- I said stammeringly.
-It's better for you to start running- said with an arrogant voice. Without doubting it I rushed away searching for something that would save me. Fortunately his hands couldn't move faster even than a turtle. When I got to know where I was, I was already looking at the floor and I felt something grabbing my leg while saying:
"No choice, we will play" and then I realised I had no way out.

Una decisión difícil
El cronometraje "En el lado de la vida" esta relacionado con el texto "Ponte en su lugar" de Fernando Savater mediante que la madre de la mujer fallecida en el video, decidió donar los órganos de su hija para ayudar a otra familia que estaba sufriendo una situación parecida. La madre logro ponerse en el lugar de la otra familia, comprendió la situación pese a las diferencias sociales que enfrentaban.El titulo "En el lado de la vida" lo pensé en manera de que la madre se puso en el lado de la otra mujer que atravezaba la misma situación que corria riesgo de vida. Y el texto "Ponte en su lugar" esta relacionado ,ya que, en mi opinión, el autor (Fernando Savater) explicó que pese a cuantas diferencias sociales puede haber, hay que tener conciencia, que los humanos se tienen que poner en lugar del otro.
En cuanto a la donación de órganos, existen los actos sociales y actos de medicos. Los actos sociales es la decisión que toma la persona o un familiar para determinar una decisión muy difícil para elejir donar los organos de su familiar fallecido o de él mismo. El acto médico es la ablación, es decir, cuando extraen el órgano para luego implantarlo en el ser humano que lo necesita.

Look before you leap
During the Language class, the teacher Andrea Shejter told us to write a story following the title: "Look before you leap". For this task, we were asked to use connectors,examples of direct speech, 2 similes, 1 metaphor and 2 examples of past perfect.
I visited William last week. I hadn´t seen him for more than ten years. I knocked on his dorr. "Who is there?" he asked. "Bro, here your old friend, Michael" I answered. He got his keys as quickly as a cheetah and opened the door. We greeted and went to the living-room, he inmediately offers me a beer.
Then we started talking about our past lives. Ten years without talking to each other, an entire decade. We talked abut everything, our lives, our girls, he told me that he had a son last year. Well... he told me "a little inofensive monster" I understood it like that. As result of the theme of his son, he told me "I have seen many schools for this creature, but I didn´t like any". I understood what he was telling me since I had the same problem with my son. I told him that he had to look before he leap, because choosing a school for your son or daughter is as difficult as climbing the Himalaya. After 3 long hours talking about our lives, we decided that it was hour to finish the conversation. Finally, we past from and he told me "come when ever you want, you are as good as a psychologist to help people". I thank him, and went away.
