Mexican Revolution

In this month is celebrated the century of mexican revolution. Maybe some people think that this date no matter. But I think that it is important because is part of identity of mexican, also is trough this fight that in Mexico ended with the "latifundios" and some injustices against the peasants poor.

Also the mexican Revolution gave to Mexico a couple of fighters with amazing hability for the war, they are Francisco Villa and Emiliano Zapata. Some legends say that the heads of both were studied by the scientists along with Hitler´s head and other but I don´t remember the name of person.

In the second world war Erwin Rommel used some strategies from Pancho Villa, like surprise attacks just like the "guerillas" in the actuality . Villa was famous because he was very smart, one of strategies most intelligent was put the horses´ hoofs backwards for that the American soldiers were to opposites side, even He´d hid among the cows for cross to USA.

Villa was a fenomenal person, perhaps some people think that he was something like terrorist, but I don´t think so, he was a visionary that just want to equality among mexican people, so sad to see how people forget that and begin to think about Christmas has been influenced by marketing, and omit this celebration.

how to identify a stroke

The next information is somthing I read on the net and I found it very interesting and helpuful.

Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are very easy to identify, but the victim may suffer brain damage if the people who attend fails to recognize the symptoms.

Below are the three steps recomended by doctors to identify a stroke:

1.- Ask the person to smile
2.- Ask the person to raise both arms
3.- Ask the person to say a coherent sentence

If the person has any difficult with anyone of this tests, there is a high probability of having a stroke.

with the previous three tests you can recognize a stroke with three hours of anticipation.

Playing with death

Teresa margolles is a mexican women, and she is an artist, she makes diferents performans, but all around the same topic: death. She uses many materials like: water, concrete, blood and other thing that use in the morgue.

Her work is the examining the transition from life to death, body to corpse, Margolles maintains how not even death can function as a leveller of social inequality. In a way, it is the voice of all those dead people who never heard or helped. It ´s something like justice for them.

"Vaporizaciones" the name of most famous performances, in this work, she use the water with wich washed the dead bodies in the morgues.

My favorite work of her, is in the picture (up), she used human fat and other fluids obtained in the liposculpture.

First suit against "influenza" in the world

A Japanese company called Haruyama Trading Co. has developed the first suit against the virus "H1N1".

The suit has been designed with titanium dioxide which reacts with the light to weak and kill the virus when it makes contact with the suit.

It has been produced 50,000 suits and it has been on sale only in Japan.

It costs $7,771.91, this makes me think: Wouldn't it be better spend $200 in a vaccine?
