children`s independence

children`s independence
people should live independently from their parents at 20 years old, because they can get more benefits.You could get a good part-time job or if you are very good in whatever activities you do, you could work in a good company. In both cases you can get you own money, that is why they shold be independent peolple. A lot of peolple think that teenagers have to learn how to get by in the actual world, because not everything is easy to get. It`s obvious that leaving in your own apartment or house maybe with a roommate have advantages about a teaching of the life.In many respects, parents aren't going to stay with you or pay your bills always, so that you can start you real life very young and have more opportunities than elderly peolple which is why you are going to know the real troubles that the life will present you.[Hiromi Kudo Ramirez]*

General comments for Reader's Digest Nº2

After we check all the Reader's Digest Nº 2 summaries, we think that they have to improve their grammar and in some cases be more creative at the moment of write their summary and not just copy the title and the topic sentence...but in general we think they were good works.

Money isn´t everything

Money isn´t everything

People believe that money is the best, however many rich people are unhappy, therefor, money is not everything in our lives. People should not forget that feelings and friendship are more important, obviously we need money, that´s why we have to create a balance between money and feelings.
For example, I could have money and everything I want, but it would be very sad if I don´t have anyone to share my money with.
Actually people work hard to get money because they think that money is the most important and necesary, however they´re wrong because there are things most important such as love, health and our family.
So in the world there are too many poor people, but no all of them are suffering people, those who understand that the love they have in their family and friends.
Furthermore, when you have money everybody wanna be your friend, but when you don´t have it sometimes people don´t give you importance and in some cases some people have several money, however they don´t have culture.
Nowdays;we know that money has become so important in our lives, that many people try to get it by murdering, stealing or any kind of bad things in our society that´s why sometimes we are so interested in getting money that in some cases we don´t care about what we do for getting it.

An unknown person stole our things on the park

I remember that the incident was at night. It was about 7.00p.m. My friends and I didn't enter to the classroom bacause we had to do our project, so we went walking to the kennedy park. Upon arrive to the place, each one had to interview to 3 tourists at least. Somje of my friends had already done it. When I could talked with a tourist he aggred to have a conversation about illness. Then I was looking for other tourists but some of them did not want to talk with us, so we were tired walking from one place to another so we decided to sit for a few minutes , but next to us there was a young man and my two friends and I wanted to have a photo of us, so we asked him to take us some photos with my friend's camera, but this person stayed there and moments later I saw a group of tourists that was coming in direction to us. Inmediately we went and asked them if they could help us having a short conversation and they accepted, but we only take the camera and left our backpacks on the seat and we went somewhere else with the tourists, meanwhile my friend was filming us I began talking and when we finished the conversation, the tourists left us. When we came back to the seat to picked up our backpacks we didn't find them. I was so worried because my book, dictionary, Mp3, wallet and my sueter were on it. My friwend told me that the guy was already gone. It was obvious that he had stolen our things, we went fast to the police station to tell them what happened to us.

This article describes mostly the behavior of people in front of aging. The main character is called Reeve Lindbergh, and she tells her experiences of growing older and how people feel scared thinking that they're aging and very soon they're going to be elderly, even when you are young. Also she recalls that people usually want to be younger and take back people who have already died.
In conclusion, every year is different and there are so many things that are waiting for you, so that you have to enjoy every moment of your life.

What's your America IQ?

Remember those old World war II movies with american GIs peppering suspicious-looking soldiers with questions like, Who played first base for the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1942? And if they didn't answer Dolph Camilli, the GIs knew they were really Nazi scum dressed as Americans? Remember?

Money isn't everything

People think that with money they can do and buy everything but it's not the true. They think that with money they can buy happinees, for example when a husband says to his wife <<>> but the only thing he gives is money and he doesn't spend time with her or his children. They think that with money they can buy someone's help , for example when a person commits a crime and someone sees him, he will give thw person some money they can educate a little child, for example: if the parents give money, cellphones, mp3 players to their children, this is not enought because children not only needs money, they need time and love from their parents, for these reasons I really believe that money can't buy everything.

Tricky Lottery Games

Have you ever thought about winning the lottery? How many times would you try for getting the highest prize? Millions of people around the world by tickets for the lottery . Most of them don't win anything. However, they continue playing because deep down in their hearts they have the hope of winning. Is it really worth it? Those who have won huge amounts of money tell us that yes. But, honestly, I think people shouldn't spend their money on those tricky games. Why do we have to wait for a stroke of luck?
Money is very important; we need money for almost everything. Imagine that you want to buy something special for rewarding yourself; instead of going out for dinner or movies, you are going to stay at home because you want to save money. Why not save the money we spend on lottery tickets? Maybe it's not a fortune, but you could use it in a better way. We have to star with little things!
Also there's a group of people taht sometimes don't realize that their wish od having a lot of money become stronger day to day. In some cases, they even ask for a loan just for playing. What if your winning wish gets stronger? You could become a lottery adidict and your home economics would be affected. That would be the worst end.
Some said: "The love of money is the root of all evil". Do you believe it? Nowadays, people don't cre abut the family, the friendship and even the love. We are worried about material things, and we have forgotten that money doesn't mean happiness. Having money is not bad, however, we should find the best way of earn it.

MONEY ISN'T EVERYTHING

I think money is everything because you can get eveything you want . for example my father works hard because he has to pay the bills , he has to buy things that I need .
There are people ,more women, who are interested in money . For example I have a friend who has only a boyfriend because he has a lot of money .In my opinion money doesn't buy feelings but you can get other things , for example : a new house , a beautiful car , a modern cell phone , etc.
I don't work but I want to work because I want to have everything, but now I know the only responsability that I have is study . Then I will work so I can buy a new cell phone , travel around the world and have a amazing house .

ANYBODY CAN GET RICH IF THEY WORK HARD ENOUGH

TIPOIC SENTENCE:
I THINK ,IF YOU WORK HARD AND SAVE MONEY FOR YOUR GOALS THEN YOU BECOME IN A SUCCESSFUL PERSON.

YOU SHOULD GET YOUR FINANCES IN ORDER BECOUSE YOU LIVE PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK ALL THE TIME.
FOR EXAMPLE:
MY FRIEND JHON ,WHO IS MANAGER ,HAS ALOT OF CREDIT CARDS AND HE LIVES PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK.

YOU SHOULDN´T SPEND YOUR MONEY FOR USELESS THINGS BECOUSE YOU WILL NEED THIS MONEY FOR SOMETHINGS VERY IMPORTANTS FOR EXAMPLE : CLOTHES , FOOD ,ETC
FOR EXAMPLE:
MY BEST FRIEND CRISTIAN, WHO SPEND HIS MONEY IN KARAOKE BARS EVERY SATURDAY THEN ON SUNDAY HE TOLD ME : ERICK LEND TO ME 80 SOLES FOR MY FOOD PLEASE...

BEFORE THAT , SOME PEOPLE BECOME MILLIONARIES ,THEY WORKED HARD AND STUDIED HARD BECOUSE THEY THOUGHT TO BE PROFESSIONALS IN THE FUTURE THEN THEY STARTED TO SAVE MONEY AND THEY PUT THEIR MONEY IN THE STOCK MARKET FOR EXAMPLE:

I KNOW TWO BROTHERS,THEY FROM CUZCO. THEY STARTED TO SELL TOMATOES IN THE STREET THEN THEY BOUGHT A NEW CAR , THEN, THEY CONTINUED TO WORK HARD BECOUSE THEY THINK TO HAVE THEIR COMPANY OF TAXIS . NOW THEY HAVE THEIR OWN COMPANY , THEY HAVE A BIG HO IN LARCO AND THEY HELP POOR PEOPLE.

Blues pioneers made music from hard times.
The lyrics of this kind of music show the lives and regrets of workers of the Deep South.
The Blues is related with sorrow.
Jack Johnson is a musician who thinks that the Blues is a feeling and Robert Johnson is the most mythic bluesman of all.
The Blues is a revolutionary art!

The article is about people that became famous and started with a kind of music call BLUES.

In the article we can see that Gail Monney traveled to the Delta to find "the bluesmen" and the interview that he made.

Now in the interview he told us about the lyrics that they putted , because they tell us their slavery in the field.

Near to finish the article we can see that he(Gail Moon) write about one of the blues pionners

Pinetop Perkins.

Well in conclusion like said the writter if we turn on our radios , we could listen the blues music.

In my opinion we have to try sometimes to listen it because is beatter than music in this time.

This is an article about the mississippi river people that they became famous people and how with generate of blues (is a kind of music of course) reader's digest said something about cotton, sugar and rice and why because that make their a famous people. Some of these singers say that they don't make a song, they put whatever they feel in their songs. I think that make a great singer because if we see in these days our generation listen reggaeton, rock, pop, etc and few of these music talk about the real life but blues, salsa, etc they tal about the real life they see the reality and they don't think nothing about the love, any kind for dancing; a couple of songs talk abou it but the majority look the reality.
Reader's digest talk about how they live in these days even so they're poor people they do their best to sourvive.

My first day at school!


I'll never forget the time when I went to school by the first time...I had never felt so scared before! That was because my pranksters cousins told me that there were monster hidden in the school. I was so afraid that I couldn't sleep the day before. When the day finally arrived and my mom took me there I couldn't stand it any longer and I run as far as I could (one block) before my mom caught me and said: "If you don't want to get in trouble and get a punishment, you'd better get in class right now".

I told to my mom what my cousins told and she told me not to be silly, then my teacher took my into the classroom where all the students (who previously saw me doing that show outside) were looking at me like if I were some kind of freak. I had never felt so scared and embarrased in the same day before. When I came back to home my parents yelled to my cousins for making that kind of joke but they said that they didn't think I was to believe them...However it seems pretty funny now every time I remembered.

Bettewen life and death

When I used to suffer for a sickness of my left eye , my parents decided to take me at the hospital INO, so Iwent there and the doctors said "We'll make a operation for you and it's going to be in November 15th 2002". And in that day I didn't have to eat so if I ate something before the operation, I could die. In that I was prepared to the operation I didn't have breakfast in my home but in the hospital I met some friends and before the doctors made the operation, I had eaten some candies. Then I went with the nurse to the hall where the doctor operated me and she was looking my clothes, she found some candies and she asked if I 've eaten it and I said yes...Unfortunately, by the time the nurse found the candies, she had gone to cancel the operation because the doctor couldn't operate me if I ate something. The next week was great, because the operation was perfect. I understand that the rules aren't a game because we must respect it.

SUMMARY

The photographer, Gail Mooney traveled to the south of Delta (Mississippi) to take some pictures to bluesman and women who immigrated many years ago for his Photographic exhibition. These blues people introduced many music rhythms, such as, jazz, country, hip-hop and blues.
It seems to me that Gail Mooney wanted to show us something more than the culture of this people, through the photography and know more than their music.

BROKEN WINDOW...!*
I was nine years old and I had never played any sport because I was very shy and I didn’t have a lot of friends so I was all the day in my house and playing with my dolls.
Some days when my mom had to go to work and she couldn’t stay at home with me, my neighbor that is my mother’s best friend she was always taking care of me when my mom couldn’t.


One day my neighbor took a trip with all her family and had to leave her house so she asked my mom if she could take care of her house and my mother accepted.

After that some girls of my neighborhood asked me if I wanted to play volleyball but I had never played volleyball so first I refused and didn’t want to play because I didn’t cause problems with the others, but the girls continued asking me if I could play. I hadn’t had friends and I though that it was a good idea to make friends and to learn to play volleyball, so I decided to play.
Later when they started playing I didn’t know what to do, I threw the
ball but the ball broke my
neighbor’s window’s house.
In that moment I felt very embarrassed and I didn’t know what to tell to my mother and how to give to my neighbor my sincere apology.


After I had gone to my house I told my mother what was the problem so she got angry but then she understood me.

A few days after my neighbor returned to her house and my mother told her that she tried to clean the window but accidentally she broke the window and gave her apology I was very surprised because I caused the problem but my mom said that she did because she understood my situation and didn’t want to make me feel bad.

Also she said that she was going to pay her.

In this incident I learned that I have to be more careful because then I would have to accept the consequences.

my friend's house. So I called him, but he had already gone to my house.
I had to go to my house to pick it up. When I arrived to my house,
My father had been angry because I hadn't gone to pay the bills.
I felt very irresponsable person because I didn't carry out with my word.

Embarrased school trip

When I was at school, my teachers decided to make a trip to the swamps of a village. The idea of visiting this place didn’t spark much enthusiasm in me as I live near it, but I still went because my friends had insisted we go.

The day arrived. The streets were cloudy and wet as it had rained the night before. When I get to school, I had the feeling that today was not going to be a good day but I shrugged the feeling off and continued being myself.

When we arrived, the guide told us that some places were restricted as it was very risky to be in those places. The tour began and was very boring. I began to play with my friends even though the ground was wet. After a while, my best friend and I slipped and fell. My clothes were dirty and my prediction was right, this was not a good trip at all.

Finally, the trip ended. I was very embarrassed throughout the ride back to school. Arriving at school, i called my mom to pick me up and my mother, upon seeing me, said to me, "you're the black sheep of the family and I was severely punished for my prank.

Inferred information










Inferred information






Infering means to take what you know and make a guessthe practice of inferring the meaning of an unfamiliar word or expression from the meaning of familiar words occurring with it in a context together with one's knowledge of or beliefs about the world.



Inference is the act or process of deriving a conclusion based solely on what one already knows.Inferences are either valid or invalid, but not both. Philosophical logic has attempted to define the rules of proper inference, i.e. the formal rules that, when correctly applied to true premises, lead to true conclusions. Greek philosophers defined a number of syllogisms, correct three-part inferences, that can be used as building blocks for more complex reasoning. We'll begin with the most famous of them all:



All men are mortal



Socrates is a man



Therefore Socrates is mortal.



The validity of an inference depends on the form of the inference. That is, the word "valid" does not refer to the truth of the premises or the conclusion, but rather to the form of the inference. An inference can be valid even if the parts are false, and can be invalid even if the parts are true. But a valid form with true premises will always have a true conclusion.For example, consider the form of Modus Ponens:

All A are B

C is A

Therefore C is B


For the conclusion to be necessarily true, the premises need to be true.
Now we turn to an invalid form.


All A are B.

C is a B.

Therefore C is an A.

To show that this form is invalid, we demonstrate how it can lead from true premises to a false conclusion.All apples are fruit. (true)

Bananas are fruit. (true)

Therefore bananas are apples. (false)


Incorrect inference


An incorrect inference is known as a fallacy. Philosophers who study informal logic have compiled large lists of them, and cognitive psychologists have documented many biases in human reasoning that favor incorrect reasoning.

There are three types of inference:
Deductive reasoning, finding the effect with the cause and the rule.
Abductive reasoning, finding the cause with the rule and the effect.
Inductive reasoning, finding the rule with the cause and the effect.


An example
Hooke's law is the rule that gives the elongation of a beam (that's an effect) when a force (that's the cause) is acting on a beam.
If the force and Hooke's law are known, the elongation of the beam can be deduced.
If the elongation and Hooke's law are known, the force acting on the beam can be abduced. If the elongation and the force are known, Hooke's law can be induced.

The Infantile Malnutrition

INFANTILE
MALNUTRITION







Malnutricion is one of the most controversial problems in the world therefore, a lot of activists are making foundations where people with this illness can recover .




CAUSES


*This big problem is caused by poverty that is one of the most important reasons because people don’t have enough money to get by so they don’t eat the necessary.
*Also it is caused when there isn’t a vitamin in the diet ,also could be because someone isn’t eating well.
*Another important reason is the depression.
*Also it’s easier to have this problem if someone has another illnes.

CONSEQUENCES


The complications that a child suffers when he/she is fed deficiently not only have effect in the stature and the weight. This owes to that an inadequate diet has negative consequences in the levels of vitamins, proteins and minerals, which leads to the malnutrition, suffering of prevalencia discharge in Mexico. In June, 1999 there obtained information on the nutritional condition(state) of million 300 thousand five-year-old minor children, of which 26.9 per cent presented malnutrition, according to the Program of Reform of the Sector Health.


The malnutrition damages principally the small ones that live in the extreme poverty, since they lack economic necessary resources that allow them to take a good nourishing regime.

Between the consequences of the undernourishment they stand out: incapacities of by life, major propensity to suffer diseases during the rest of its life and minor learning capacity. The causes of this serious phenomenon are multiple and of different nature: social, political, economic and cultural. For example, the diseases, the inadequate feeding, the lack of access to an education of quality and a correct information. In the world 24 million children with weight are born annually about inferior to the normal one (less than 2.5 kg), which represents a 17% of the totality of births. The majority of those children is born in the developing countries and the cause of the low weight when being born is deficient the fetal development.


The work, carried out between 221 boys by experts of the Service of Growth and Development of the Garrahan Hospital and the Service of Put Paediatrics of the Hospital, agrees with other investigations on the maturity delay. All emphasizes the negative impact on the linguistic competitions and the abilities for the resolution of problems, but the difficulties in the socialization and the incorporation of habits.

kennedy¨s assassination

The kill of John F. Kennedy (1917 - 1963), the thirty-fifth President took place on Friday, November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas, USA at 12:30 Central Standard Time (18:30 UTC). Kennedy was mortally wounded by gunfire while driving in the car in the presidential Dealey Plaza. It was the fourth U.S. president murdered, and the eighth who could have died in carrying out their duties. Two official investigations concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald, an employee of the store Texas School Book Depository in Dealey Plaza, was the murderer. One concluded that Oswald might have acted alone and another suggested that could have acted at least with someone else. The murder is still subject to speculation, being home to a large number of conspiracy theories.

Many people suspect that he could have been killed because he mateined a relation with the actress Marilyn Monroe nobody know how he was killed , but he might have been one of the biggest presidents of the U.S.A


THE BLACK DAHLIA (Distinguishing the fact from theory)

Elizabeth Short has been portrayed many ways in the six decades since her body was dumped in two pieces on an empty lot in Los Angeles.Above all, time has immortalized Elizabeth Short as the pin-up girl of Los Angeles Noir. The Black Dahlia. Fascination with her life, and especially her death — her gruesome, violent and unsolved murder — continues to this day.
The story of the unemployed 22-year-old waitress has inspired dozens of books, Web sites, a video game and even an Australian swing band. The quest to pinpoint her killer has become a hobby for generations of armchair detectives. And two years ago, Hollywood will recast her tragic fate in a star-studded Black Dahlia movie.

The Los Angeles Police Department has given up of ever closing the Dahlia case; the department has more urgent crimes to investigate, and the killer has likely been dead for years. Yet, it is precisely the unsolved status of Elizabeth Short's murder that gives it such an enduring allure.
We need to emphasize here that the case is so cold, the information so musty and bungled, that it's difficult to get a lucid picture of Elizabeth Short's brief life, much less her grisly death. The Crime Library will not attempt to solve the Black Dahlia murder in these pages, but to simply relate Short's story based on the most unbiased, accepted facts available, including historical newspaper articles and law enforcement records, as well as contemporary literature.

MACABRE DISCOVERY


On the morning of January 15, 1947, a housewife named Betty Bersinger was walking down a residential street in central Los Angeles with her 3-year-old daughter when something caught her eye. It was a cold, overcast morning, and she was on her way to pick up a pair of shoes from the cobbler. At first glance, Bersinger thought the white figure laying a few inches from the sidewalk was a broken store mannequin. But a closer look revealed the hideous truth: It was the body of a woman who'd been cut in half and was laying face-up in the dirt. The woman's arms were raised over her head at 45-degree angles. Her lower half was positioned a foot over from her torso; the straight legs spread wide open. The body appeared to have been washed clean of blood, and the intestines were tucked neatly under the buttocks. Bersinger shielded her daughter's eyes, then ran with her to a nearby home to call the police. Two detectives were assigned to the case, Harry Hansen and Finis Brown. By the time the duo arrived at the crime scene — on Norton Avenue between 39th and Coliseum streets in Los Angeles — it was full of reporters and gawkers who were carelessly trampling the evidence. The detectives ordered the crowd to back off, then got down to business. From the lack of blood on the body or in the grass, they determined the victim had been murdered elsewhere and dragged onto the lot, one piece at time. There was dew under the body, so they knew it had been placed there after 2 a.m., when the outside temperature dipped to 38 degrees. The victim's face was horribly defiled: the murderer had used a knife to slash 3-inch gashes into each corner of her mouth, giving her the death grin of a deranged clown. Rope marks on her wrists and ankles indicated she'd been restrained, and possibly tortured. By measuring the two halves of the corpse, the detectives estimated the victim's height to be 5'6 feet and her weight to be 115 pounds. Her mousy brown hair had been recently hennaed, and her fingernails were bitten to the quick. After calling the Los Angeles County Coroner to retrieve the body, the detectives were left with a daunting assignment: finding out who the woman was.

THE INVESTIGATION




In the 1940s, the police and the press lived in a symbiotic relationship. Reporters used the cops for inside work and info and the cops used reporters to disseminate information to the public that they hoped would help solve crimes. In the Black Dahlia case, detectives gave the Los Angeles Examiner fingerprints lifted from the dead woman and reporters used their "Soundphoto" machine — a precursor to a modern fax machine — to send enlargements of the prints to FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C. FBI technicians compared the prints with 104 million fingerprints they had on file, and quickly made a match to one Elizabeth Short. Short's fingerprints were taken for a mail room job she'd had at an army base in California — and for an arrest record for underage drinking in Santa Barbara. The FBI also sent the paper Short's government application photo. When reporters saw how attractive the 22-year-old victim was, they knew they had a sensational tale on their hands. This was news noir at its best. To juice up the story, Examiner reporters resorted to an unethical ploy; they called her mother, Phoebe Short, and told her that her daughter had won a beauty contest. After getting as much personal information about Elizabeth from Mrs. Short as possible, they informed her that her daughter was actually dead. Sex, beauty, violence. The story had it all, and soon made front page news across the nation. "Police seek mad pervert in girl's death," said one headline in the Washington Post.

SUSPECTS


The LAPD has refrained from speculating on the identity of killer. The truth is that Elizabeth Short's killer is most likely dead — if not of disease, of old age — and will never be brought to justice. This fact hasn't stopped a large group of amateur sleuths from picking up the torch in an attempt to solve the case. Their conclusions range from fanciful to downright risible: Mary Pacios pins the blame, incredibly, on movie director Orson Welles, who once did a magic act where he "sawed" a woman in half. In another book, "Daddy Was the Black Dahlia Killer," a public relations specialist named Janice Knowlton blames her father for the murder. She writes that therapy helped her recover childhood memories of her father forcing her to watch him torture, murder and hack up Short. Knowlton goes on to accuse her father of nine such killings, including that of a son he engendered with her. Her book was a flop, but Knowlton harassed anyone writing about the case who did not support her claims until she committed suicide in 2004 with a drug overdose.

Here are some of the suspects who've topped the list as the could-haves the last 60 years:

Robert Manley
Manly was the last known person to see Short alive. He was initially booked as a suspect, but released after he passed a polygraph test. Beset by a long history of mental health problems, in 1954, his wife committed him to a psychiatric hospital after he told her he was hearing voices. That same year, doctors gave him a shot of sodium pentothal — aka the "truth serum" — in another attempt to glean information about the Black Dahlia murder from him. He was absolved a second time. He died in 1986, 39 years to the day after he left Short at the Biltmore. The coroner attributed his death to an accidental fall.

Mark Hansen
Hansen's name was written on the address book that was mailed to the Examiner; it's unclear how the item fell into Short's hands. The 55-year-old Denmark native was the manager of the Florentine Gardens, a sleazy Hollywood nightclub featuring burlesque acts. Many of the young women working for Hansen lived at his home, which was located behind the club. Short was his guest for several months in 1946, and the aging lothario is rumored to have tried to bed her - unsuccessfully.

George Hodel
In 2003, a retired LAPD detective named Steve Hodel published another daddy-did-it tract, but this one became a national bestseller. According to the "Black Dahlia Avenger: A Genius for Murder" Hodel Jr. depicts his dad as a tyrant and misogynistic pervert who held orgies at the family home and was put on trial for raping own his 14-year-old daughter (he was acquitted). After his father died in 1999, Steve Hodel acquired his father's private photo album, which contained two snapshots of a dark-haired woman. Hodel claims the woman was Short, but Short's family has refuted his claims.

Jack Anderson Wilson
In "Severed: The True Story of the Black Dahlia Murder," actor-cum-crime writer John Gilmore fingers an alcoholic drifter named Jack Anderson Wilson. When Gilmore interviewed him in the early 80s, Wilson purportedly divulged details about the murder that only the killer would have known, including knowledge a supposed vaginal defect which would have prevented Short from having sexual intercourse. A few days before his pending arrest, Wilson died in a hotel fire. The book's validity has been questioned by other Dahlia devotees who have failed to track down many of Gilmore's primary sources - leading them to question the sources' very existence.

Walter Alonzo Bayley
In 1997, a Los Angeles Times writer named Larry Harnisch suggested yet another suspect: Dr. Walter Alonzo Bayley, a surgeon whose house was located one block south of the lot where Short's body was found. Bayley's daughter was a friend of Short's sister Virginia. Harnisch theorizes that Bayley suffered from a degenerative brain disease that made him kill Short. While the police believe Short's killer was affiliated with a cutting profession — a surgeon or butcher, say — Bayley was 67 at the time of the murder and had no known record of violence or crime. Neither is it known whether he ever met Short.

None of these suspects have been endorsed by the LAPD. And because most of the key physical evidence has disappeared from the Black Dahlia file — including 13 scornful letters the killer sent the police and the media — it's unlikely the case will ever be solved. Det. Brian Carr, who inherited it in 1996, has publicly stated as much.


Elizabeth Short have finally made it onto the big screen the last year — six decades after her death — in a Universal Pictures release based on the 1987 James Ellroy novel ''The Black Dahlia.''

GENERATIONAL DIFFERENCES AT WORK

This article is about the generational differences at work in the United States. We talk about the relationship between traditionalists, baby boomers, gen Xers and millennials.






  • The Traditional Generation also known as the Silent Generation comprises employees and retirees born between 1922 and 1943.

  • A Baby Boom is any period of greatly increased birth rate during a certain period and it most often refers to the dramatic post-World War II baby boom (1946 to 1964).

  • The Generation X is a term used to describe generations in many countries around the world born from 1965 to around 1982.

  • The Millennial Generation or Generation Y refers to a specific group of individuals born between 1980 to1995.



How is the relationship between workers of different generations in a workplace?
Every generation is influenced by its period’s economic, political and social events so it follows that generational issues may affect the way people work.

Nowadays some younger workers are often baffled by older traditional administrators’ tendency to reject their new ideas and resist change. That’s why some of them are apathetic people who are not motivated to do a good job.

A lack of understanding across generations can have negative effects on communication and working relationships. For that reason some researchers are making studies about this problem, in the hopes of better understanding how generational diversity may affect work dynamics.

In the last decade, several differences in the work habits of younger and older women have been observed by psychologies. They noticed that the younger women tend to more often question workplace expectations, such as long work hours or taking work home, and the older women are more aware of their obligations and responsibilities.

Some studies suggest that differences are accounted by worker’s values. A survey reported that people from generation x (1965 – 1982) are less loyal to their companies and they want to be promoted more quickly.

Sometimes generational differences may cause clashes in the workplace. For example, baby boomers may believe gen Xers are impatient, while gen Xers may view boomers as always trying to say the right thing to the right person.
And traditionalists may view millennials as visionaries, while millennials may view traditionalists as dictatorial and rigid.

After all, each generation brings a unique perspective to work- related tasks.

Mysteries:
What Did Happen In Hanging Rock?














This strange history has turned into a famous episode. Two books and a movie have turned into topic of countless theories, numerous articles of magazines, at least, Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975). But as in so many other historical mysteries, the happened in Hanging Rock is not everything what shows off to be.

The history tells us that the group of girls and teachers divided in a car rented to go to Hanging Rock to celebrating the rural annual lunch. A typical place of excursion to which there were in the habit of coming the people of beginning of century was an unusual geological formation called Hanging Rock. This formation of volcanic origin and of several million years of antique gets up majestically approximately 150 meters over the plain in which it is located, and culminates with the mixture of stones and monoliths in balance that they gave the Hanging Rock's name. Closely together of the base of the rock there was a good place to eat and to rest, consisting of some unexpected tables of stone and a suitable and discreet service of washes.






The school group was composed by 19 girls, the majority teenagers; and two teachers; Mademoiselle Diane of Poitiers, the younger of the two, was teaching Frenchman and dance, and Greta McCraw, a Scotch old maid of medium age, was the teacher of mathematics. Another adult of the group was Ben Hussey, driver of the car rented by the college. Mistress Appleyard, the director, wasn’t forming a part of the expedition.

The group divided early that Saturday morning and they came little before the midday. The day was hot and sunny, and after eating the majority of the girls they were sleeping pleasantly in the shade of the trees and the rocks. Slightly farther, to another side of a small creek that was flowing of the wall of the rock, one had installed another small group. There was composed by the colonel Fitz Hubert (veteran of the Army of the India, now withdrawn from softer climates), Mistress Fitz Hubert, his nephew, the honourable Michael Fitz Hubert (of visit and from England) and the lackey Albert Crundall.

Around three o'clock in the afternoon, three of the major girls asked the Frenchman's teacher for permission to explore the rock. Three young women; Irma Leopold, Marion Quade and a girl to whom it is remembered simply as Miranda - had all seventeen years and were standing out for being sensible and responsible. After a brief commentary among the adults (during which was observed that Ben Hussey's clocks and of Miss McCraw had stopped to midday),
Later they gave also permission to Edith Horton, one more girl fourteen-year-old young woman, to accompany them. One warned at four o'clock that they should not rise too much for the rock, which the crags, caves and precipices were trying to avoid, and that they had care with the serpents, spiders and other dangerous insects.

The girls moved away from the zone of picnic, crossed the creek and got lost of sight about 3:30 p.m. Michael Fitz Hubert and Albert Crundall, that they were sat close to the creek, saw them to pass
Albert gave up a hiss paying compliments to them, and Mike got up with the intention of continuing them, but he desisted after covering only a few meters, when they disappeared for the trees.





In the place of the luncheon they all were sleeping. Around 4:30, Hussey wanted already to bring together to the whole personnel. He and mademoiselle Poitiers realized that McCraw was absent also miss; nobody had seen her to go, but one believed that she had continued the exploratory girls. The group of Fitz Hubert had just gathered their things and they had left.

Irritated initially and later increasingly dismayed, Hussey and mademoiselle of Poitiers they looked for the absent ones. Hussey organized the girls in order that they were searching for couple. The alarmed trippers searched during almost an hour; around 5:30, Edith Horton worked out average stupefied of the bushes of the side southwest of the rock. She was shouting hysterically and she could not tell whom were interrogating her anything from what she had happened. There was no sign of Miranda, Irma, Sturgeon and Miss McCraw

When the night came, both adults decided to bring together the girls who were staying and to return to the college. To the return, they stopped in Woodend's police station; where Hussey informed about the happened the agent Bumpher.

The following day, on Sunday, there began an active search of the women who were absent. There was thought that the girls and then teacher simply had got lost in the forest, and the police enlisted a series of volunteers, between which Mike Fitzhubert and Albert Crundall were situated, to look for them in the rock. After a day of search, nothing they had been Meanwhile, the doctor of Woodend, the doctor McKenzie, was examining Edith Horton. She seemed to suffer a slight commotion and was presenting numerous hurt in the body due to her career among the bushes, but not serious wounds. She could not remember anything of all that she lived in the rock. Nevertheless, on the following week, Wednesday, she was interrogated by the agent Bumpher, to whom unusually she revealed that when she was returning there had passed near miss McCraw, which was going towards the rock. She saw her to certain distance, and the teacher had not payed attention to Edith's shouts. In addition, Edith confessed shamed that the old maid, habitually so cautious, was dressing in an indecent way: skirt was not taking above, only her panties.



The search continued for several days, while the police were interrogating systematicly all the witnesses. The young man Michael Fitzhubert seemed to be the most suspicious in case an immodest act had been realized, since he had been the last person who had seen the girls and he admitted that he had started following them. Nevertheless, there was no any other indication of which he had been the person in charge of the disappearance of the girls and, possibly due to the pressure exercised by the influential Fitz Hubert, the police left this part of the investigation.

On Thursday following the excursion, the police resorted to an aboriginal scanner and to a bloodhound. After McCraw having smelt clothes of miss, the bloodhound followed a track that was ascending for the rock; then he stopped, with the hair of top and barking almost 10 minutes, in a circular platform to half a way of the top; nevertheless, he didn’t find any tangible track. Convinced that nobody might have survived during so long time in the thickness of the bushes, the police decided to leave the investigation.

The following day, on Friday, Mike Fitz Hubert and Albert Crundall decided to investigate for their account. At the end of the day, without having found anything, Mike decided to pass the night in the rock. Albert returned to the residence of the colonel Fitzhubert to excuse Mike. On the following morning, when he returned to the rock, he continued Mike's track and found it unconscious, with a sunstroke and a seriously twisted ankle. Mike was taken to house and visited by the doctor McKenzie; that night Albert found in Mike's pocket a note corresponded with rainfall and that in spite of his incoherence, he was reflecting that Mike had found something in the rock. On Sunday morning another investigation was carried out and, with great surprise for their part, the seekers found Irma Leopold

Arisen From Nothing?





She was unconscious. She was suffering several blows and small cuts in the head, and the nails of her hands were broken, but on the other hand more than one week did not seem to be very affected after having happened in the forest: her feet, barefooted, were clean and without brands. The most extraordinary thing of everything was that she was lacking the corset, but they had not abused sexually her. When she recovered the knowledge, she could not remember anything of what had happened to her.

And here ends the history. Irma could not say anything of what had happened to her; Miranda, Marion and Miss McCraw would not be seen nevermore. As consequence of the episode, the pupils of the college Appleyard were changed of college, and that one was closed. A few months later, mistress Appleyard went to Hanging Rock and rose alone. Her body was found later nearby the rock.


End...


Theories

The first theory is that the girls may have fallen down in a hole. But until now, researchers haven't found evidence.

The second theory is that the girls were caught by a UFO, so the rock would have been a base of communications or something like that.

Another theory is that the girls could have done a journey through time into the past or the future. This theory is related to the pink cloud that some girls said they have seen. Scientists believe that this cloud was a distortion of the sight because of the speed of travel through time.

Other ideas are less accepted. One is that the girls were introduced in a parallel universe. And the other one is that mysteriously they were absorbed by the rock.

So what really happened that day? Scientists are still investigating. So far we only know that this story remains an unsolved mystery.

THEORIES: DEATH OF FAMOUS PEOPLE



Theories: death of famous people

Adolfh Hitler

Along of the history, the death of Adolph Hitler has been considered a totally mystery. Scientist, historians and some spiritits have been created many theories about his death.

One of the most important developments theories is the wich one created by the German army. They theorized that Hitler, Eva Brawn and the Goebbels family were totally burned after found them. They may have been killed when they were sheltered.

Also, Russia found a small piece of skull with a hole. It must have been made bye a bale impact, that according with them, it may have belonged to Adolph Hitler. He could have committed suicide after he killed Eva Braun when they were sheltered in his famous BUNKER in Berlin.

Another similar speculation is that Adolph Hitler may have token a cyanide pill and in this form dead. But no one have evidence that endorse this affirmation.



South America is present in this enigma, too. According with Richard Evelyn Bird, a famous adventurer and colonel to the American army, Hitler could have been concealed in a site of the Antarctic and he may have arrived first in Argentina and after that in Chile




QUIROZ CONTRERAS, LESLIE








How did Marilyn die?

Marilyn died late on the evening of August 4th, 1962 of acute barbiturate poisoning. She overdosed on the drugs Nembutal and Chloral Hydrate, both prescribed for insomnia. How this overdose came about is the subject of much curiousity and controversy. The death theories can be summed up into four main categories: Suicide, Self-administered accidental overdose, Accidental overdose administered by someone else, and Murder. Here are the basic theories:SUICIDE: I suppose that Marilyn depressed over her firing from her last film and the failure of her romantic relationships and I'm pretty sure that Marilyn consumed a lethal dose of sleeping pills with the intention of ending her own life. "Probable suicide" was the official verdict on Marilyn's death.


SELF-ADMINISTERED ACCIDENTAL OVERDOSE: Marilyn ingested a fatal overdose of sleeping pills without realizing what she was doing. Either she took more pills having forgotten how many she had taken before, or she had ingested so many pills over the preceding days and hours that a lethal build-up of the drugs had occured in her system, so that the final dose was fatal.





ACCIDENTAL OVERDOSE ADMINISTERED BY SOMEONE ELSE: Marilyn was given the fatal dose through either an enema or an injection administered by someone else; most commonly named are Dr. Ralph Greenson and Marilyn's housekeeper, Eunice Murray.







MURDER: Marilyn was deliberately given the fatal dose with the intention of killing her, either via enema or injection (a "hot shot"). The most commonly named suspects, either directly or indirectly, are the Kennedys, with the motive that Marilyn "knew too much" that she had learned due to her affairs with these powerful men. Other suspects who have been named include the Mafia, most specifically Sam Giancana.





While every theory has its believers, it is most commonly held that whatever truly happened on August 4th, 1962, it wasn't suicide. An overwhelming propensity of evidence suggests that Marilyn did not die by orally ingesting sleeping pills. The scene of death appears to have been tampered with and important tissue samples from the autopsy mysteriously dissappeared, among other odd occurrances. There is very strong evidence that the circumstances surrounding Marilyn's death were covered up for some reason. The theories continue being debated to this day.
