Kid can do better in the crosswalk
This article is about technology, in specific virtual reality, in this case: virtual street. The article was wrote by Rachel Nuwer and she explain us why this program is important.
One of the most common sources of injuries and fatalities for children around the world, is traffic accidents, when they are crossing the crosswalk. For example in the European Union, children younger than 14 years account for a higher proportion of pedestrian mortalities than any other age group, except the elderly in the U.S.For instance, in Israel, the numbers are particularly chilling, there, kids account for 20% of pedestrian death. Studies have found that youngsters are less adept at identifying road hazards than adults
Anat Meir wanted to pinpoint exactly which behaviors lead to accidents, with the goals of finding way to correct them, to do that without putting anyone in danger, she turned to virtual reality and simulated 18 prototypical streets in Israel and used an eyetracking device to study how 46 adults and children evaluated when it was safe to cross. Intervention do seem to improve crossing success.After that, Meir compared trainee's and control kid's performance in the virtual road crossing task. The children who received safety instructions were significantly better at crossing than the control subject.
In my opinion this article is important, first, because we can be conscious about this problem and how not have vial education and unknown safety instruction affect our children every day and they can death. Second, we can understand how important is give to our children safety instruction or create training program to improve skill to pedestrian when they have to cross.
Childhood reading
The book
by Hisham Matar
Hisham Matar narrate how books impact in his life. He remembered that in his childhood the books were read to him, he spent hours listening and watching at the reader, he could feel every word resonating in his head, in his house were a lot of books but he doesn't know why in his house were not books for kids.
He read a lot of books in his youth, he felt very passionate about it. come books he encountered at the wrong moment, and plenty of others that still light up rooms inside him. the book that has affected him most was "One thousand and One Nights" the mischievous and brilliant writings of al-Jahiz. He came across when he was ten or eleven years. His father read to him that book, but he was fascinated with it because it has the ability to capture such fluid and vague adjustments. He remembered how his father read it out loud and felt the effects of the words reverberate around the room.

Welchez Coffee
Hello to everyone, I want to talk about a magnificent product. It is
grown in the mountains and it has a very long process that it’s supervise with
a lot of care and quality, you can trust that you will have only the best in
your table, it is distinguishes for its high quality. It looks like an oval, it's a
brown grain. It has a spectacular smell that calls you to take a cup, when it
is recent done and believe me you cannot refuse to do it. Some people use to
drink it at morning but they have a cup at evening too, actually, the hour is
not important you can drink it at any time. You must buy this product if you
need quality, amazing taste and happiness.
The Welchez coffee its grown in the Finca Santa Isabel, the 375-acre
Café Welchez coffee plantation in the northwest corner of the country, close to
the Guatemalan border. Before the coffee be ready to be at your table, it is
necessary to follow a delicate process from picking up berries to roasting
them. I invite you to go to the Finca Santa Isabel and take a look how they do
it, you would be love to go around in a fantastic place as that. You would be
able to see and feel the passion of the workers to give you the best coffee you
could ever try. The quality of this product is the result of the determination
of the owners to have a happy place where tourist and the community could feel
it as their own home.
Have you ever think in all the process the coffee needs to pass until be
in your table? Well, now that you know, all the process is the reason that
coffee has that amazing, spectacular, awesome taste and smell. I still remember
when I was a Child, I used to wake me up with that incredible aroma of Welchez
coffee around my house and did not have any option than stand up and get a cup
of coffee that boggle my mind.
When I feel without energy and need to be awake by a lot of hours or when
you feel low battery after a long day at work, I just think how much I need a
cup of coffee. At evening, when you are walking by a place near a coffee shop,
you can feel that astonished smell, that you cannot resist, it is like a call
to drink it, and after you do it you feel better, like a new person, then you
can continue working and many ideas come to give you inspiration, as
consequence you will have the best work, despite you will have a lot of
happiness. The best moments sharing with friends are around a cup of coffee
talking about problems, news, dreams and whatever you want, will make you feel
happy.
Finally, I am pretty sure that if you go to the Finca Santa Isabel, you
would be in love of that place. Welchez coffee is one of the best brands that
exist in Honduras and the reason is its quality, you can compare it with any
other. You might go to the supermarket and buy a bag of Welchez coffee to have an incredible
experience surrounded by your best friends and family, surely you will
transport to that place where the coffee is grown with love, passion and
dedication. I invited you to no loss that wonderful experience in a cup of Welchez coffee.
Harpoon
Nowadays, people are trying to find activities that
help to reduce consequences generated by the stress, because this is one factor
of many diseases. According to experts, perform a new activity help to alive
the stress. If you do not have a hobby or want a new, you should try a new
activity you’ve ever been interested. For instance, spearfishing is an activity
that will help your mind to break free your stressors, making it easier for
relaxation. This fishing is to dive into the water and catch fish using a
harpoon or spear gun. To undertake this adventure, you first need to buy the
main tool: The harpoon.
This is an instrument for fishing or hunting aquatic
animals, It has the shape of a gun with a long barrel like a fusil; on the
barrel it carries an iron rod ending in one of its ends with a tip with hooks
that hold the dam after being hunted. Normally the pistol grip is made of
plastic, black color and the body (like a barrel) is made of aluminum to make
it lighter. Some harpoons are made with lightweight materials that enable it to
float in water, therefore their weight can vary between 1 to 3 pounds or more.
It´s body ca be measure around 16 inch more or less, depending what the
customer need. This item look and work like a rifle, but instead of shoot
bullets, shoot the rod.
This is the perfect item you need buy to start this
sport that promises to give you a lot of fun, because it is a cheap, easy to
use and entertaining product.
First of all, although it is an object uncommon, its
price is not high because it does not require the use of sophisticated
technology and you can get from $ 50.00. No need to invest a lot to practice
this activity, so I say that is cheap. Second, its ergonomics allows you to
have easy operation, it fits perfect to the size of the user's hand; also, its
low weight allows better control and precision. For use, it is not required to
have specialized training and you can understand how does it work and use in minutes.
Finally, it is not the most practical way to fish but
one of the most entertaining because in this fishery have to find and catch the
fish with your accuracy and speed. You have to find the strategy or cunning to
approach the fish enough to hunt.
