The ups and down of Yo-yo

As you can see is not good or interesting topic (The ups and down of Yo-yo) but when you skim the article you can find interesting informations such as Baby Boomers, The Big Depression, etc.

Napoleon "was playing with a Yo-yo a night before of the waterloo battle", it was the most important battle of Napoleon war.
I haven't known about Yo-yo's popularity.

My point of view about a Yo-yo:

Thinking in a Yo-yo and when it was created I can say that a Yo-yo was a superficial and conceited plaything. obviously a toy which was used by the aristocrat, nobles, tycoon peoples, etc.

Interview:

Mr.: Yo-yo

A: Angela

A: Hello Mr. Yo-yo, my name is Angela Gómez and I sent you 3 questions some days ago and you haven't answered me yet. Mr. now a days you aren`t so popular and I want to know how do you feel?

Mr.: Hello miss Gómez, no really well but I had my ups time and I was so happy and now I must to understand my reality.

A: Mr. Yo-yo you are so optimistic!!!

Mr: Yes why not. That's life, everybody has his ups and down.

A: Is true Mr. Yo-yo, and what do you do in your free time?

Mr.: I pass more time with my family.

A: Did you travel a lot of in you famous days?

Mr.: Yes of course, I traveled all over the world for the five continents.

A: WAO!!! Mr. Yo-yo you had an interesting life. Mr. Yo-yo have you ever been in the caribe?

Mr.: Yes I have, but not in my famous days.

A: Thanks for give me this interview.

Mr.: Was a pleasure.

After my interview with Mr. Yo-yo I have to say what I was wrong about him because Mr. Yo-yo is a nice and easigoing plaything I feel that I have known him for some time a long.

YO YO! Si yo soy yo. mandame a mi. jejeje

I like YO YO a lot, but I do not know many tricks.

If you've mastered easy yo-yo tricks and intermediate yo-yo tricks, you are ready for the good stuff -- advanced yo-yo tricks. These feats of dexterity and skill are fun to both watch and perform.

Many of these tricks are complicated and might require a little extra practice, so don't give up if you can't master them right away. If you keep trying, you will be pleased with the results. Your audiences will be pleased too!

The yo-yo is a popular toy consisting of a length of string tied at one end to a flat spool. It is played by holding the free end of the string (usually by inserting one finger in a slip knot) and pulling at it so as to cause the spool to turn whilst suspended in mid-air, either taking up or releasing the string. First made popular in the 1920s, yo-yoing is still very much enjoyed by both children and adults, though it was originally made as a children's toy.

Keeping a yo-yo spinning while remaining at the end of its uncoiled string is known as sleeping. Sleeping is the basis for nearly all yo-yo tricks other than looping, the player first putting the yo-yo in a "sleep" before throwing the yo-yo around using its string

Did the Chinese Discover America?

Who Discovered America?

In our schools always taught us that Christopher Columbus discovered America in 1492, but is this research true? We must study, make investigations, read a lot of sources to prove it. In this unit about America, i felt a little bit confusing and this encorage me to read more about this topic. I found on Internet that a lot of differents groups of voyagers did the trip before Columbus. So, now im really confused about this topic, but i just have to continue reading and studying about it.

The ups and downs of Yo-Yos

Yoyos

In this lesson about Yoyos, i learned its date of creation. I used to play with Yoyos when i was younger. I guess it was created about 90´s, but now i know that i was wrong. Yoyo is a very good toy and is cheap too. With this toy you can learn a lot of good movements to show and enjoy with your family and friends. Around my neighborhood, my friends and i used to play a lot of time with our Yoyos, we made competitions and we shared our new movements created by ourserlves. Nowadays, kids dont´t want to use it anymore. They prefer using video games, guns, and bad toys. Those good days with educative toys are only in our minds. See you.....

Did the chinese discover america?
I think that the answer is YES, becouse exist many evidences that confirm that is real, eventhough after zhen he died and china stopped the exploration for that reason the history that everybody knows that was cristhopher columbus that discovered america would be different.
zheng he made a lot voyage to everywhere of the world, but was in 350 years where didnt exist way that you can desmonstrating that you done.

Smarts cars will be successful to the humanity through years, one reason is its technology that will have these cars. it will be able to do everythingh that you might think.
for example it can change the oil by itself, also these systems beep or warm drivers with a voice signal if the vehicle gets too cklose to an object or another vehicle or if it strays of its line.
I think in that way will have less accident in the world becouse there are many careless drivers that get in involved in accident daily.

Choosing good names for companies

How a company choose its name? Is it easy?

Many people may think that choosing a good name for a company is very easy, but this is not an easy job. Lots of companies  have gone bankrupt because of their names.
So, if a company wants to succeed in the business world one thing it has to do is to choose a catchy name, a name that sticks in the people`s mind. That is why companies hire experts in the area to know all the pros and cons while choosing a name. But also, some companies have decided to choose straightfoward names, like the name or names of the founders. others are identified by initials, and others by the products they sell.
Choosing a name for a company could seem to be easy, but it will be a challenge for you to strugle to find the perfect name, which has the power to make you succeed in the business world or to make you fail.

YO-YOS.

Yo-yo is a toy whose origin has not discovered exactly, but there have been presented some dates and places where there are evidence of its appearance through the years. One of this it´s guess that China it was used about 3000 years ago. Also in Greece around 500 B.C. yo-yo were used and called discs, they were made of terracotta, wood and metal. After this, yo-yo was related to the Mayan culture in Mexico's Yucatan peninsula about A.D.700. Then the yoyo appeared in India in 1765. Later in the 1791, a French painting done pictures the future king Louis XVII yo-yoing.

Yo-yos became a symbol of fashion and wealth, at that moment they were being made of crystals, stones and precious metals.

 For 1790 the yo-yo wasn´t only just a game for children, it was also used by youth and adults to relax time, including Napoleon and his soldiers in the battle of 1815.

In 1866, James L. Haven and Charles Hettrick of Cincinnati signed a U.S. patent. But it was not until 1928 when Pedro Flores opened a factory and to the next year had to open two more factories, by the high demand that yo-yo had, to the point of reaching 300,000 units produced daily. In one month in 1930, in the state of Philadelphia were sold 3 million yo-yos.

With so many years of history yo-yo has also had its glorious moments when it traveled to space in shuttle Discovery, and years later, in the space shuttle Atlantis. Sharing with celebrities, as the U.S.A. Presidents John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard Nixon, who enjoyed playing yo-yo as a pastime, as they were often seen playing with the yo-yo at the presidential office in the White House. Another remarkable feat is the Fast Eddy ('fast') McDonald, who holds the title of the person in the world that can do more "loops" in an hour ", after taking 8437 with his yo-yo.

SMART CARS

Smart Cars

Technology in cars has really helped people, especially they who have some physical limitations, because some smart cars are designed with special features to allow for things that in past were just a dream.
Besides, vehicles are constantly evaluated for the purpose of improving their quality and make less risky situations to people who are involved daily using this transportation mean, as useful and dangerous at the same time, because there are some people who don´t understand that an irresponsibily car driven or a neglect car can become a lethal weapon for both, the user and any other person around them.
In other hand, noteworthy that although the smart cars have been , are and will be one of the great challenges of the automotive companies , we also have to say that is a reality that not many can achieve, because as a car has more bells and whistles increases its price, so that candidates for acquisition decrease and that is why some companies such as: aston martin, bugatti , ferrary , lamboghini , maseraty and other companies less known, have limited edition of some of their models , there are cases like the model of the brand Maybach Exelero , which only produced one and was sold at 5.4 million euros, and so far the world's most expensive car .

Furthermore, there are details of wire work, impromptu weapons and how some special effects are created. But to me, the amazing information is to know that in Matrix, the second movie, they took a month to get a 5-minute scene right exactly as they wanted.

 In this lesson I learned that movies are not as easy as they seems to be when we watch them on t.v. or in the movie theather.

WATCHING MOVIES

MOVIES

I love watching movies and going to the movie theaters. For me watching movies is a way of relaxing from all this stressful world. With all the variation in movies you can choose whichever you want to.

For example, we have action movies. Action movies are those which have challenge scenes such as explosions, car chases, or in which the stant has to fight a lot to become the hero. Romantic movies are those in which, of course, the romance takes part. Tthey can be also action movies, but they focus on the girl and the boy. Comedy movies are those which are made to make people laugh. They can also have slapstick humor. Fiction movies are those in which nothing that happens in the movie is true. they are fake, and sometimes is very obviou,s like chinese fighting movies or... matrix.

Well, these are some of the different kind of movies we can find. But also, there are others like cartoon movies, of wars, suspence movies, and so on...

I like to see different kind of movies. For example, i like to watch all romantic movies, but i love suspence movies. To feel your heart beating so fast while watching the movie and then scream for something that happens in the movie... i think i like the adrenalin!

So, if you don´t want to do a big thing but you want to spend a good time you can choose to watch a movie with your friends and have a good time!

About God and changes....

    

       About God

He was sitting with his pink tank top and his tight jeans, looking oblivious to his surroundings and the lady staring at him.

She wore a seriously long skirt with an afro hair and the Bible under her arm, wondering why he had to be that way, looking at his persona as if he were something hideous. She pretended to read her medicine book at the moment he caught her eyes on him.

Pain, rejection, judgment, and the desire to shout out how bad he wanted to, but couldn’t change who he was, were the things he usually struggled with.

God came to earth to, literally felt each and every one of the sins committed by us and to us at the cross; it wasn’t the nail pierced hands and feet that killed him to later resurrect, it was the pain of all humanity on his flesh. After resurrecting, he gave humans the chance to eternally live by his grace, and this, ladies and gentleman it’s what a lot people have a problem understanding. If he had the power to resurrect and to carry all of our mug then it is Him and only Him who can save us and change us.

A lot of people who share my faith in Christ can be judgmental; Jesus shows his mercy over and over again in their lives and yet they refuse to do the same. Change it’s an impossible thing for a human being to achieve but a piece of cake for God!  Therefore, instead of judging people, we should preach about God’s love and then let God and God alone to do the rest.

Here’s a video from an amazing Christian artist who let God to change her life.
