Hip hop and community

A friend just sent me the link to this youtube video that i found very interesting.I thought i'd share it with my blog viewers.

Basically, it is a crew of hip hop break dancers a.k.a "bboys"
who travel to Africa to teach young needy African children the art of dancing. It enables those deprived children who went through tough life experiences to escape from their harsh realities.
This program allows communities to gather and celebrate the essence of youth, uplift young Ugandans.

The hip-hop culture is often associated with violence and negatives massage.This video breaks the stereotypes as it shows us that music is universal.Indeed, bridges the gap between cultures and can convey positive massages throughout the community.I feel deeply humbled by this video and have much respect for this initiave taken by the "bouncing cats".

Here is the link to the video!

Ever since the night of humanity, many have tried to travel back time. Important cosmetics brands have created multitude of anti-aging product based on herbal extract. They tried to challenge the irreversible aging process, that all leaving creature on earth experience.

Well all except one, scientist have recently discovered the only creature that challenges aging.The jellyfish "Turritopsis Nutricula" never grows old enough to die.It is capable of getting its old body cells to early stages of life, when necessary.Therefore it never dies and is immortal.

This might be the greatest discovery of all time.It is only a matter of time before scientist discovered the jellyfish secrets.Imagine all the medical possibilities with

Description and Reflexion

unit paper 2: analytical writing

Analytical writing:

As we just went past the first decade of the second

millennium, the world we live is going through some very

important changes. Scientist are talking about climate

change, the planet is going through a global

warming.

Though, Pioneers have explored new paths in different

domains, ranging from nano technology to clean energy..

Science has provided answers to several health

problems. We are able to performs some tasks easier that in

the past. Our ways of life are drastically different, from our

parent’s We are surrounded

by a technology pioneering enterprise, the world that is.

However, the rapid expansion of industrialization

throughout the world has left some negative side

effects. Humans have strongly contributed , and,

still today, to spoiling our resources, affecting our

environment. In this paper we ought to wonder on the

Environment current stakes at play.


About two months ago, Copenhagen held a climate change

summit which convened Governments from all over the

world. Were presents both G8 countries and G20.

Environmentalist from all continents gathered in the

Danish capital city. Several thousand of protesters came to

show their support and to pressurize governments. WWF

expected a restrictive consensus from Industrialized power.

The USAs and China, as the most polluting countries, were

awaited to implement demanding and compromising text in

regarding their co2 emission. This didn’t happen.

It looks to me like countries only convened to set another

reconvening day this year.


Human’s activity since the 19th century has played a

negative role in climate change .we are facing today, some

of those consequences In fact Human irreversible activity

degraded the ozone Layer. The most pessimistic scientist

are talking about a 2 Degrees Celsius increase before 2050

on earth. The current temperature is of 15 degrees Celsius.

As a result, this will lead to severe weather

Disturbances, nature catastrophes, massive floods and polar

Ices melt. Nothing to rejoice about really!

On the contrary optimistic scientist prediction are less

alarming .The climate Change is independent from

human activity and is due to the cyclical planet climate

eras. We are not to fear cataclysmic changes

Both theories fundamentally differ But only time will tell.

For the moment being we cannot rest on our Lories.

We have responsibilities as earth current inhabitants to

preserve the best we can our environment, to hand it

over in the life possible conditions to future generations. It is

our duty to raise awareness of the importance on being “eco-

intelligent” and transmit this legacy to our children. Time is

no longer on our side and we need to act now. Enforce new

policies to create sustainable clean energy jobs. The couple of

past decade witnessed the computer revolution, the decades to

come will surely witness green energy revolution. “What role

we want to play for humanity?”

Nature has

provided us wind, sun and and biomass witch are

Unexhaustive and renewable resources that can be converted

into clean energy.

One thing is for sure we cannot change our past but we can

change the future.

Unit paper 1: my weekend

I spent my weekend reading Mario Puzzo’s novel “omerta”

It is his third novel that I have read after “fools die”, the

“last Don”. That

is if we exclude the world known god father that I have

watched over and over , and never tire watching. The odds

are that you have watched it too.

Mario Puzzo’s Novels are that addictives. One you start

reading one, you Simply can’t get enough.

The story line is captivating as usual invites , the reader ,

into The backstage of a scrupulousness criminal world. The

Characters involved in different sorts of vendetta, will try

To outsmart a pending death fate that’s hanging over their

Heads.

I enjoy polars a lot, tough I feel I hadn’t had the real deal as

States. New York, Italians families or “coscas”, battle for

power Over the city’s underworld.

fascinated by his style. Reading Puzzo is like watching a

thriller Movie. I couldn’t get myself to stop reading, page

after Page, I was glued to the book. The intrigue is nicely

conducted.and suspense is intense. There is always an

unexpected twist to watch out for a “hit man job” to be

done The book captivated me very much. The book was so

captivating; I read omerta

I suddenly catch myself dreaming.Dreamingi had become

robin hood just Like Don Cleruzio or Astorre.Suddenly I

realize it is only a dream ,a fantasy.

I read , the novel throughout as if I was watching a movie.

Something like a fiction about some mobster’s vendetta for

man loss.Protagonists take risky gambles with the law. Fear

no law, or corrupted law enforcers but only god. They love their famillies and honor them. To those who enjoy these

great time killers, I recommend “omerta”. This is

an offer that you cannot refuse! I bet you are going to like

it!
