MICE ALSO SING

 Yes, and male mice are emitting high-frequency sounds; of course, are impossible to perceive by the human ear, and they do when they detect the presence of female mice, presumably as part of the courtship process.

According to research, these vocalizations were not random but songs, as commented Timothy Holy, one of the researchers. "There was a pattern, sounded like birds singing."

To demonstrate, the scientists reported sound recordings, adapted to the human ear. "It really sounds like the chirping of birds."

To qualify as singing, the sounds should have two main Characteristics:

- A syllabic diversity it means that a multitude of different sounds.
- A temporal regularity, like a chord melody becomes.

During the research the scientists analyzed a group of 750 syllables produced by a single male mouse for a period of 210 seconds and concluded that the animal producing these sounds following a parting and not random.

These are added to the list of creatures that sing in the presence of a member of the opposite sex, birds, whales, insects and possibly bats, and of course the man.
 

WHO ARE THE FOUR KINGS OF THE CARDS?

When it comes to the design of the cards is a major conflict: the four kings represent great historical rulers and who are they?

It is a common belief that the four royal cards represent David king of Swords; Alexander the Great king of Shamrocks; King Charlemagne king of hearts and Caesar Augustus, king of diamonds. This belief seems to be at odds with the history.

Around the sixteenth century the player card games Frenchman made some changes on the cards, making them look very close to what we use today. They adopted the four symbols that also use today, swords, hearts, diamonds and shamrocks, each representing a class: the nobility, clergy, merchants and peasants.

At that time the card manufacturers began to assign identities of actual letters and printed on the cards. The actual identity cards in different, depending on the manufacturer's personal choice.

After the French Revolution took place in the 18th century, manufacturers of cards left to write the names of the kings in the cards, because the monarchy was no longer welcome in France. The French model of card games was the most successful and was adopted worldwide by fans of card games. However, the actual letters used today in card games do not represent any particular figure king.

DIFFERENT CLOTHES

It is true that everybody is equal; we have the same rights, obligations, opportunities, but we are different in other things like, everybody are from different cultures. one of those cultures is "Japanese Culture".

The japanese culture has a lot of differences with other cultures and one of those differences is the Kimono, the kimono is the traditional cloth that was wearing until the war. The term mono means thing and Ki=Kiru means carry.

The kimonos are large and big sleeves. There are a lot kinds of kimonos that are wearing for men, women and kids. The shape, color, material and the decoration depend of the gender, age, season, and the occasion. The accesories for the kimono are "geta"; wood sandals and "tabi"; traditional socks that separete the thumb from the rest of the toes.

In the past the formal Kimono was take away for the European clothing and the "yukata"; a really simple Kimono, was used every day. With the emperor Meiji, the European clothes became the uniformof the army. After the big "Kantô" Earthquake, the person that wore Kimono was victim of robbery. In the actuality the people wear European clothing and yukata in special moments.

I like kimonos and I hope to wear one of those in the future.

JAPAN

Every body have goals and dreams during their lives, and I am not the exception. I have a lot of goals like graduate from the unersity, learn new languages or apply to a scholarship; but my biggest dream is one day travel to Japan and live over there.

I think that the history and culture from this culture is intersting and amazing; Koijiki according legend, Japan was founded in the VII Century B.C.; their rulers were called Emperor. Also in this culture originated the samurai who are known for their weapons and their strunggle to defend the Honor.

Maybe I do not understand a lot of things from their culture but I have been learning about this culture, so that one day I will be part of this great society someday.

CHERRY BLOSSOM

 

 

 

 

The sakura or cherry blossom japanese is one of the best know symbols of japanese culture.

 

 

 

 

 

The cherry blossom blooms during the spring; in Japan is done the festival of "Hanabi" in his honor since it is the flower most significant, during which relatives and friends gather in parks of cherry trees and shadow of these and, as a picnic share food while celebrating the appearence of flowers.

 

During the year trees remain only lined with leaves and are bare in winter, but early spring bloom, decorating the parks appearence of pink clouds.

I LOST SOMETHING AND I DID NOT NOTICE.

The last days I have been feeling different, I do not care the things, If I do homework or not do not worry me, I feel like I have lost something important and I do not know really well was is it. This new person is not me I do not know who I am.
The last week were the exams, but I did not study for any exam, because I do not really care if I won or not the exams. When I am "cuerda", this situation worry me, and I tried to do something to "enmendar" the things that I have done it. Like know,  because I am "cuerda" right now is that I am writing my blogs.
I have the sensation that I have lost something, maybe my inspiration, my streght, my way or all those things. I do not what can I do, the only thing that I know is that I have to do something and quickly because if not, there will be big consequences.
