Breaking Dawn

Picture this: world where you had been through the most painful things anyone could ever imagined, and when your finally happy, there are people who still want to destroy you? Stephanie Meyer's , Breaking Dawn really make me realize that when you truly love someone you can overcome anything.
One possible theme for this book would be that, when two people truly love each other, they can overcome anything that might get in their way, so that they can finally be happy forever. When Bella finally gets married with her soulmate, and the inmaginable happens, the fact that she becomes pregnant from a vampire. She never imagined that the Volturi would come back, to take away her most precious gift, and destroy her family.
Meyer's writing style draws the reader into this world full of love and hope, with such vivid descriptions, and true love forever,it make me feel like I myself was living Bella's world. One can hardly turned a page without realizing that Edward's and Bella's love gets stronger and stronger.
The setting for the novel takes place in Forks, Washington, were werewolfs and vampires have to leave all their differences aside and protect Bella and her daughter Renesmee. Bella really shows her love and stong spirit toward her soulmate and her daughter.
This novel reminds me of the whole Twilight Saga, a saga that really demostrates what true love really is. What true love can overcome. This books are really powerful. They really get to your heart.
I really would recommend this books to all the people that believe and true love and in fairytales.

The Battle of Jericho

Picture this a world where you will even give your life to be in the Warriors of Distinction, the oldest and most exclusive club in school. Sharon M. Draper intrigued me with the fact that whenever people really want something they will probably give their own life for it if necessary.
One possible theme for this book remains that your biggest dream can cost something really precious. Jericho the main character in the novel, has always wanted to become part of the Warriors of Distinction, the oldest and most exclusive club in his school. He wants this mainly because just being a pledge wins him the attention of Arielle, one of the hottest girls in his class, whom he's been too shy even to talk to before now.
Draper's writing style draws the reader into this world full of grieve and pain, with her vivid descriptions, and her word choice assists in moving the plot along quickly. For instance, one can hardly turn a page without a conversation turning into sadness, which keeps the characters voices very sad. This story is first person point of view, though allowing the reader to also experienced it like first person point of view.
The setting for the novel, takes place in Los Angeles, California. In a time where everyone wanted to become part of the Warriors of Distinction. Everyone beliefs that this group, those only do good things for the school, and that it makes the student's tough and strong and proud of thereselves.
This novels reminds me of November Blues, were November wanted to do anything and everything just so that she could feel acepted in school. November the main character of this book and Jericho, both want to do everything to achieve their dreams.
I would recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys sad stories. It you enjoy November Blues, you will definitely enjoy The Battle of Jericho, by the same author.

A tax we could learn to love

In a recent article by David Frum titled " A tax we coul learn to love", propopes a brand new carbon tax that would raise more revenue than ending Bush tax cuts for high incomes, would allow for middle-class tax relief and would help in the battle against climate change.
The earth continues to warm, and to warm fast with serious consequences for human life and welfare. 2012 saw the worst drought in the United States in half a century. Russia suffered its second bad drought in three years. Climate shocks to these two countries are raising food prices worlwife, posing an especially acute threat to the world's poorest. Major storm events strike harder and more of ten, because warming oceans create condisions for fiercer hurricanes.
I believe that David Frum new tax is the best tax that anyone has ever proposed. People all over the world are saying that the world will end this December. I believe that it wont, but what's happening to the atmosphere is terribly affecting the world.  The warmer and warmer climate has brought down many crops plantations and the hurricanes had killed alot of people. Also the hurricanes had destroyed many people's houses, and because of that they are homeless and without work.
Emissions continue to grow so rapidly that an international goal of limiting the ultimate warming of the planet to 3.6 degrees, established three years ago, is on the verge of becoming unattainable. Common emissions in the United States have been declined since 2009, not emissions per person ( those have been declining for decades), but emissions in absolute terms. The weak enconomy explains part of the decline, but the real hew of the story is the natural gas  fraking resolution.
The global warming has been affecting people for decades, but know it has gotten even worst. And the cause of this is the natural gas fraking revolution. Stubborning high unemployment and fiscal crisis have been  the topic all over the world. Even this is affecting the nature and the animals. Forest are burning and animals are starving.
This nuclear warming is not only getting worst in Hong Kong, were there has been a drumbeat of gloom. This is happening all over the world. In some places, like in Vriginia, more than one forest has burned terribly bad. And in most places like Florida, birds are dying of starvartion.

Can Woman Who Have HIV Pass it Their Unborn Baby?

In Australia, the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is most commonly spread through unprotected anal or vaginal intercourse with an infected person. Everybody knows this. Women who are HIV positive or have an HIV positive male partner may still consider pregnacy, adoption, and other ways to have children. However, getting approval for permanent care or adoption does require prospective parents to have a good health and a reasonable chance of staying healthy until the child reaches social and emotional independence.  HIV can pass form mother to baby during pregnancy, birth or breastfeeding. Women who are HIV positive should seek medical advice before they become pregnant as medical intervention may reduce the risk of an HIV-positive woman passing HIV to her unbron children. So in efect in most cases HIV is pass to the unborn baby, but not in all cases. If the woman wanting to have a baby, gets medical treatment before she gets pregnant they baby might not get HIV.  Around 14,800 people are living with HIV infection in Australia, including about 2,00 woman. In some cases, one partner is HIV positive and the other is not. This is sometimes referred to as " serodiscordance". Relationships issued as sex and having children are complicated for serodiscordant couples and counselling may be helpful. If the dad does not have HIV this reduced the risk of the baby getting it even more, because only the woman has it and if she attends to the doctor and takes medicine and does not have sexual intercourse with her partner while she's pregnant this will help even more. She also has to be really healthy. Also woman who want to have a baby can be artificially inseminated at the most of her fertile time of her menstrual cycle, rather than risk unprotected sex.  The in vitro fertilisation (IVF) technique called intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) can achieve pregnancy with a low risk of HIV transmission. The partner's sperm is washed to remove infected fluid and cells. A number of the woman's eggs (ova) are surgically removed and a single sperm from her partner injected in each, the fertilised eggs are then implanted into the woman's prepared uterus. Theres is no evidence that pregnancy will change the course of HIV pregression for HIV-positve women. There is also no evidence to suggest that babies born to HIV- positive mothers are more likely to have birth abnormalities. From personal experience I read a book based on a true story were this girl named Anna was abused and she had HIV, then she got pregnant and likely her baby was not borned with HIV because she got treatment. This happens to alot of girls around the world.

Flying Saucer

In a recent article by FoxNews.com entitled " Government report on a secret flying saucer program made available. Fox News informs its readers about a flying saucer that the Air Force made to use in the Cold Warera Plan, but afterwards it didn't work. The National Declassification Center in College Park, Md, opened one of more that 114-page document from 1956 sure to interest the in-foil-hat crowd: a document describing a secret program by the Air Force to build a flying saucer. The disk-shaped craft-which complete with an ejector seat and was powered by a "ram" jet- was designed to reach a top speed of more than 10,000 feet. When they tried this flying saucer it didn't reach that high at all. It totally didn't work. It reveals that the Air Force had contracted the Company, Avro Aircraft. No one new that they were making this. They were making it without getting permission, they believe that it was going to work. That it would be a powerful machine but at the end of the day it was a total disaster. The efficiency of the airframe at supersonic speed apppear good and that of the engine reasonable, so that a long supersonic cruise range is also a forcast. But in the testing of this saucer, it didn't fly at the speed they expected, and instead it came right back down. And that's when everybody discover what the Air Force tried to make. Most of the time when their had being wars, like the Civil War and World War 1, people had invented or made many things to fight of their enemies.  And some of them actually did work, because it was well prepared. Along the years people will continue to make things to fight of their enemies at Wars, but not every single one of them will work.

I think that everyone should be able to express their ideas and their beliefs, but there is a certain limit to doing this. Making someone else belief what you belief, is like taking their freedom away. Everyone should be able to defend their beliefs, their religion and what they think about their nation. They should not criticise what other people belief. The limit to this is when an individual wants to make someone else their own shadow. What I mean by this is that, sometimes people want to make other people think the way they think, enroll in their religion, to the point were they are exactly the same. In other words every individual can believe whatever they want to, but they can't force someone else to belief what they want him/her to belief.

Current Connection 1

In a recent article by Veronique Greenwood entitled "Why Bacteria, But Not Humans, Can Live on Caffeine. Greenwood inform that Bacteria can live on caffeine because they can break cellulose and we humans, cant. And it does not harms us, but we can't use it. Cellulose is the primary component of plant cell walls and accounts for the fiber in the fruits and vegetables. We humans cannot break this cellulose because most of the molecules in nature are inaccesible to human digestion. Cows, rabbits, and other grass muching creatures are able to extract calories from it. We humans don't have bacteria that can break enzymes that strips cellulose down to its component, and animals like this that were named, can break it. Humans are fairly limited in terms of what the body can digest lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins are our only sources of calories. A lot of molecules we don't use them. Bacteria do use all of them, that's why they are strong enough to digest it. All of this is true we humans are much weaker than bacteria. We don't digest the same way, they do. All humans digest differently and they are much stronger than we are. Bacteria are different than all humans are, they are much more stronger, and they are made of powerful cell that we don't have, that way are weaker than they are.
