Car Accident

It was May 14, 2011 around 4 o'clock in the afternoon I used to live in Bávaro Punta Cana my wife and me we decided to go to Higuey to do some purchase, the road was very wet and slide because of the rain, it was a heavy rain and with many winds, I was driven not more than 40km / h then I saw a Daihatsu truck coming in the opposite direction it was a very tie bend right in the same point a driver try to pas the truck in the turn and went to my side the we had a terrible colishtion in my Carrir my wife who was on the passenger side with the impact of an accident lost consciousness and suffered a big punch on her neck leaving her hospitalized for 3 days in intensive care.

 The next day I went to the Bavaro-Politur Department to explain what had happened to the commanders of  AMETT and take notes of everything that happened to us but the bus driver of the Mercedes Bens model bane had passed by the AMETT Department first than me speaking his own version of the accident.

 My wife after leaved the hospital put a lawsuit against Francisco Tadeo who was the bus's driver, Blue Travel Patner the bus company And Insurance BanReserba.

One year after we were in courd Francis and the two companies were declared innocent of the charges that we claim against them , then we made an appeal, and two years later in San Pedro De Macoris the judge decided to hear the case again.

 I'm still waiting and I believe in the Dominican justice. I had payed a lot of money plus a lost my car and I had a lot of psychological traumas.

I advice to my classmate to be carefull And to have pre-caution of driving on the streets of Dominican Republic because many idiot And crazy people are driving outside there and many of them are favored with the law.

I thanks God I did not lose my life in this terrible accident, It's could be worse. God takes care of me forever. Amen. Amen.

        Urban Legends

  Urban legends are story created by people and passed down through generation by word of mouth. This story are spread from person to person. This type of story always involve lots of strange things like ridiculous creature.

  Sometimes some of these story come from true story, the problem is that sometimes the storyteller change a lot about them.

  Easily it can be noticed the falsity of these stories as they begin involving all those fabulous characters, ridiculous creatures and all those unbelievable things.

 Although I believe that life is strange and mysterious, I think they exaggerate a lot in these stories.

Smart cars.

Technology  has advanced a a lot,  I had no  heard about   Smart car  until I listened  my teacher  talking  about it in the English class.  I think  is not  easy  to comprehen  every datail and characteristic  about  Smart car.   I’ve  though after surfing in Internet  if any time I need to drive a Smart car it will be a nice experience for me.  Although  I’m not sure if I’d  get on it specially  if  not driver inside like this.

smart cars

          Smart cars  are method or strategies  to the drivers , smart cars offers maximum comfort,
agitily, and safety, they have been perfectly designed for your everyday life, smart cars save on gas and some cases they need electricity. The first thing that you can notice  when you see smart cars are the size, in my opinion they are not comfortable for a big family, maybe  for the couple with two children but people have different reasons to buy a car not only for family.



      Smart cars can reduce the numbers of accidents, they are created with this idea and use some
systems hat can help the location of the vehicle for recue and police units. The technology is one of the most importan aspects of smart cars, but how drivers can control all these automotive technology without distracting, example; voice control are distracting, buttons take more of the drivers'
attention, it is like at when we use a cell pnone while we are driving. Smart cars cannot solve all the problem, one the biggest problem is the traffic congestion. althought in the near future all of these change.



   

URBAN LEGENDS

      urban Legends are incredible stories, sometimes scary or funny. Urban Legends contain

many folkloric elements and they spread quickly through a community or society. The tales are usually told dramatically, as if they are true stories  that happened to a real people, although they may in fact be fictional. Urban Legends have some significance that motivate the community in preserving and propagating it.

     Urban Legends tend to focus on a current fear or cultural phenomenon  of the time, from the unbelievable to the possible. Urban Lengends satisfy a human desire to find entertainment and thrills within our deepest and darkest fears, but many urban legends have a combination of humor, embarrassment, appeal to empathy and moralizing,

   Not all urban legends that we heard is telling the same way, they have different versions,,,, but if you enjoy hearing or telling urban legends internet is the best way to get stories, then you will have stories to tell to your friends.

                                                          My Dreamed Company


I have ever dream about having a hotel. Since I was a child I have dreamed about being  the CEO of my own company. I have been thinking about the name of it for a long time but it is kind of difficult to find the appropriate one, so that I have not gotten the name yet, but  I have all the details.

 My hotel will be one of the most famous places known in the Caribbean. It will be located in a tourist area specifically in Bavaro. It will be a huge hotel nearby the beach with many interesting options and offers for our costumers. It will has nightclubs, golf course, swimming pool, range, a place to run  horses and bicycles, a movie theater, malls, and many other things. our staff will be one of the most qualified and prepared of the country. Each of our employees must talk more than tree languages. they will be workaholic and efficient. We will receive people from all around the world every year. As I said before  the main hotel will be located in Bavaro, but there will be many subsidiaries hotels countrywide. We will also have a language school for teaching our costumers any language the would be interested in. And we will have a program of activities called " exploring the country" in which our costumers will have the facility to travel all around the country  accompanied by our experts on Dominican culture.

This is an idea of my dream company. Which if God willing I will have someday.

                                                              Unit- 3. The Name Game.

Before studying this unit I did not know that there are lows to protect the names of the companies. I thought that  when someone created a company he or her could choose any name, no matter if it had  already been taken. 

Looking for information in the internet, I  found this interesting article about how to choose a business name  by Alissa Gregory, who is an expert on business information.   http://www.sba.gov/content/how-name-business. I hope you enjoy it

  

Choose Your Business Name

Choosing a business name is an important step in the business planning process. Not only should you pick a name that reflects your brand identity, but you also need to ensure it is properly registered and protected for the long term. You should also give a thought to whether it’s web-ready. Is the domain name even available? 

Here are some tips to help you pick, register, and protect your business name.

Factors to Consider When Naming Your Business

Many businesses start out as freelancers, solo operations, or partnerships. In these cases, it’s easy to fall back on your own name as your business name. While there’s nothing wrong with this, it does make it tougher to present a professional image and build brand awareness.

Here are some points to consider as you choose a name:

• How will your name look? – On the web, as part of a logo, on social media.
• What connotations does it evoke? – Is your name too corporate or not corporate enough? Does it reflect your business philosophy and culture? Does it appeal to your market?
• Is it unique? – Pick a name that hasn't been claimed by others, online or offline. A quick web search and domain name search (more on this below) will alert you to any existing use.
• Pick a Name That is Web-Ready
  In order to claim a website address or URL, your business name needs to be unique and available. It should also be rich in key words that reflect what your business does. To find out if your business name has been claimed online, do a simple web search to see if anyone is already using that name.
  Next, check whether a domain name (or web address) is available. You can do this using the WHOIS database of domain names.  If it is available, be sure to claim it right away. This guide explains how to register a domain name.
• Register Your New Business Name
  Registering a business name is a confusing area for new business owners. What does it mean and what are you required to do?
  Registering your business name involves a process known as registering a “Doing Business As (DBA)” name or trade name. This process shouldn't be confused with incorporation and it doesn't provide trademark protection. Registering your “Doing Business As” name is simply the process of letting your state government know that you are doing business as a name other than your personal name or the legal name of your partnership or corporation. If you are operating under your own name, then you can skip the process.

                                               unite 2 - Urban Legends

In my opinion, this is a very interesting lesson. It reminds me the time when  I was a child and I used to visit my grandparents house. They used to tell me all kind of  stories and legends. One of my favorite is similar to the one about "The Vanishing Hitchhiker" that is mentioned in this unit, but instead of a girl, in the story that my grandfather told me, there is a nun who suddenly appear on the road and start talking with the persons and then, when they are in one of the most secluded parts of the road she disappear and just the sound of dogs barking insistently is heard. According to my grandpa, this nun was a woman who lived in the neighborhood specifically  in the area where she disappear.

I really like this story or legend. Even though now a days I think it is faked. There are many old people in my neighborhood who assure they have seen this nun and have talked to her.They say " She died but her spirit is still alive and present in the same road that she used to take everyday in her way to church".

True or false, urban legends are interesting. ones are funny others are gruesome, but each of them have either a moral or a lesson to teach us.

Smart cars

The design concept for Smart cars began in the late 1980's. The Smart cars began with Nicolás Hayek, the man who invented Swatch watches. He wanted to make a small car that would be fuel efficient, environmentally responsible and easy to park in small spaces. The first smart car was created in 1994 and it went on sale in 1998 but Hayek was dissapointed with the use of a conventional engine. He wanted a hybrid or pure electric motor and the price of car which was higher than expected. There's also a project of Google related to Smart cars. The car's arrival marks the next stage in Google's self-driving car project which was born from the DARPA Grand Challenger for robotic vehicles in the early 2000's. It is the first truly driverless electric car prototype built by Google to test the next stage of it's five-year old self-driving car project.

Mastering the Law of Gravity

Mastering the Law of Gravity is an interesting reading. It is mainly about the stuntman, martial art choreographer, and film director named Yuen Wo-Ping. This personage is described as a Chinese veteran with an experience of more than fifty movies. Many famous action stars, as Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, and Jet Li were helped by Yuen Wo-Ping to be catapulted to international fame by his train of acrobatic flying, fighting, and jumping off walls. Yuen is highly respect by the quality of the swordsmanship in his films. He achieved his first directing credit in 1978 on the martial art film Shake in the Eagle's Shadow. The more recently Wo-Ping Yuen's work as an action choreography is Hong Kong Cinema have included Kun Fu Hustle(2004), Fearless(2006), The Forbidden Kingdom(2008), Ninja Assassin(2009), True Legend(2010). Yuen Ping said ¨I fell I'am old-fashioned¨, Wo-Ping Yuen adds, ¨So Whenever I can, I prefer to shoot Kung Fu scenes for real and use traditional wire work to enhance the actions in the movie. Yet the same time, special effects and visual effects can definetely enrich and help the portrayal of Kun-Fu and the power it envolves. By Socrates Note: Some information were taken from the internet.

Mastering the Law of Gravity

I really enjoyed this lesson, because it remind me of a Korean series I saw once.

There was a girl who was a stunt woman, that was her passion. She dreamed of becoming a Professional stunt woman, and she was training to do so.

During the process of her preparation, she met a very wealthy man who fell in love with her. Since she was very poor, her dreams of becoming a Professional stunt woman were not so close, because she didn't have the reasources to continue paying for her studies. The man who was completely in love with her, found out about the situation and helped her with the money issue she was going through. That way she was finally able to make her dreams come true.

When she finished her studies, her boyfriend, yes, because they were now dating, helped her to get a part in a very important movie. She was very happy to be doing what she loves.

Even though the series had a lot of action scenes, the plot of the story was very interesting and catchy. That tv series has changed my perspective about action movies and series.

the name game

many companies find difficult get a catchy names for their products. name is something important for many reasons such as, how the brand is atractted by people that is a worthy marketing tool, choose a straightforward names that allow people to memorize the products.

some companies are mainly identified by initials, some of them are international business machines called IBM, and kentucky fried chicken KFC. some firms create names by morpheme construction first shortening and then fusing parts  of the company´s full name. that makes to save much money in painting in fact it is more catchy.

choosing good names become more difficult when a firms market internationally, because you have to investigate carefully the meaning of the name if that could be offensive in other languages or gaffe meaning.

Lesson 5 - Smart Cars.

Some people see the smart cars like something far,far away!.. but i think it is not.
obviously, in the dominican republic we are not prepared for that,because we have a lot of taboos about technology, i mean at this time,in 21 century we have professors that think the internet is a trash or for stupid people. 

In some countries have been launched smart cars,what it's cool that a car give you a ride and you don't have to drive. and if you are missed, the car shows you the exact location and ask to you: what do you want to do? and you choose if you want to back home or continue your traveling.
unfortunately, at the launch moment they are too expensive,so it's just for rich people,but the truth is and for sure, we will have our smart cars.

J-ball (missing post)

Well to be honest with you, i started to learn about J-ball in this class, because i always have known about american baseball and dominican baseball of course,and sometimes heard about the japanese baseball,but that's played in the other part of the world i mean it's so far of here,maybe if you don't have internet or Tv Cable, you can't get access to this sport. However in my opinion, in japan have born the most talented players in the world, not just in baseball,also in wrestling and other sports.
consequently, the coaches of the other countries traveling to Japan to recruit fresh talent.
