What historical figure do you most identify with? Why?

Actually, I don't identify with any historical figure of my knowledge at all. O'Higgins? No. Carrera? Neither. Napoleon? No way. But I won't start talking (I mean writing) about the little I know about politics. But if you also consider historical figures from the last century, like Martin Luther King, I would say that it's the same, of course, it depends of the area , for example religion, or politics, but considering music, I identify most with Jeff Beck, because he plays different kinds of music, and he likes perfection when he plays. But if you meant an historical figure, I am sorry but I can't give you the answer you wanted.

From which person have I learned most in my life?

There are lots of people from which I have learned things, like my friends and relatives, but the person I most learned from is my grandfather, because he has lived nearly 70 years, and he have a lot of experience. He often help me with manual homeworks, he teach me how to do them, and the things that I need for doing them. He buy the stuffs that I need for school, he fix my things, he taught me how to swim and dive, how to behave properly, he taught me lots of sports and physical excersices, and even more things. I think that I couldn't know all the things I know without him.

Why is renewable energy an important topic today?

Renewable energy is a really important topic in these days, because now, we use too much electric energy, and the sources of energy are not renewable, so they are starting to run out. We need renewable energy, because there are more and more things that are electric, and need more electricity, and we use it without thinking about the consecuences. But renewable energy doesn't run out, but we still have to use less energy, because if we abuse of this energy, even if it doesn't runs out, it's not infinite. So we need to get a source of renewable energy, like wind, or the sun, that won't runt out.

Rainbow In The Dark by Dio (R.I.P.)

When there's lightning - it always bring me down
Cause it's free and I see that it's me
Who's lost and never found
I cry for magic - I feel it dancing in the light
But it was cold - I lost my hold
To the shadows of the night

There's no sign of the morning coming
You've been left on your own
Like a Rainbow in the Dark

Do your demons - do they ever let you go
When you've tried - do they hide -deep inside
Is it someone that you know
You're a picture - just an image caught in time
We're a lie - you and I
We're words without a rhyme

There's no sign of the morning coming
You've been left on your own
Like a Rainbow in the Dark

When there's lightning - it always brings me down
Cause it's free and I see that it's me
Who's lost and never found
Feel the magic -feel it dancing in the air
But it's fear - and you'll hear
It calling you beware

There's no sign of the morning coming
There's no sight of the day
You've been left on your own
Like a Rainbow in the Dark

Kashmir by Led Zeppelin

Oh let the sun beat down upon my face, stars to fill my dream
I am a traveler of both time and space, to be where I have been
To sit with elders of the gentle race, this world has seldom seen
They talk of days for which they sit and wait and all will be revealed

Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace, whose sounds caress my ear
But not a word I heard could I relate, the story was quite clear
Oh, oh.

Oh, I been flying... mama, there ain't no denyin'
I've been flying, ain't no denyin', no denyin'

All I see turns to brown, as the sun burns the ground
And my eyes fill with sand, as I scan this wasted land
Trying to find, trying to find where I've been.

Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace, like thoughts inside a dream
Heed the path that led me to that place, yellow desert stream
My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon, I will return again
Sure as the dust that floats high in June, when movin' through Kashmir.

Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails, across the sea of years
With no provision but an open face, along the straits of fear
Ohh.

When I'm on, when I'm on my way, yeah
When I see, when I see the way, you stay-yeah

Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, when I'm down...
Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, well I'm down, so down
Ooh, my baby, oooh, my baby, let me take you there

Let me take you there. Let me take you there

Seventh Son of a Seventh Son by Iron Maiden

Here they stand, brothers them all
All the sons, divided they’d fall
Here await the birth of the son
The seventh, the heavenly, the chosen one

Here the birth from an unbroken line
Born the healer, the seventh, his time
Unknowingly blessed and as his life unfolds
Slowly unveiling the power he holds

Seventh son of a seventh son
Seventh son of a seventh son
Seventh son of a seventh son
Seventh son of a seventh son

Then they watch the progress he makes
The Good and Evil which path will he take
Both of them trying to manipulate
The use of his powers, before it’s too late

Seventh son of a seventh son
Seventh son of a seventh son
Seventh son of a seventh son
Seventh son of a seventh son

Today is born the seventh one
Born of woman the seventh son
And he in turn of a seventh son
He has the power to heal
He has the gift of the second sight
He is the chosen one
So it shall be written
So it shall be done

The Mob Rules by Black Sabbath

Close the city and tell the people that something's coming to call

Death and darkness are rushing forward to take a bite from the wall, oh

You've nothing to say
They're breaking away
If you listen to fools...
The Mob Rules
The Mob Rules

Kill the spirit and you'll be blinded, the end is always the same
Play with fire, you burn your fingers and lose your hold of the flame, oh

It's over, it's done
the end is begun
If you listen to fools...
The Mob Rules

You've nothing to say
Oh, They're breaking away
If you listen to fools...

Break the circle and stop the movement, the wheel is thrown to the ground
Just remember it might start rolling and take you right back around

You're all fools!
The Mob Rules!

Tom Sawyer by Rush

A modern-day warrior
Mean mean stride
Today's Tom Sawyer
Mean mean pride

Though his mind is not for rent
Don't put him down as arrogant
His reserve, a quiet defense
Riding out the day's events
The river

What you say about his company
Is what you say about society
Catch the mist, catch the myth
Catch the mystery, catch the drift

The world is, the world is
Love and life are deep
Maybe as his skies are wide

Today's Tom Sawyer
He gets high on you
And the space he invades
He gets by on you

No his mind is not for rent
To any God or government
Always hopeful, yet discontent
He knows changes aren't permanent
But change is

And what you say about his company
Is what you say about society
Catch the witness, catch the wit
Catch the spirit, catch the spit

The world is, the world is
Love and life are deep
Maybe as his eyes are wide

Exit the warrior
Today's Tom Tawyer
He gets high on you
And the energy you trade
He gets right on to the friction of the day

Hangar 18 by Megadeth

Welcome to our fortress tall
take some time to show you around
impossible to break these walls
for you see the steel is much too strong
computer banks to rule the world
instruments to sight the stars

Possibly i've seen to much
hangar 18 i know too much

Foreign life forms inventory
suspended state of cryogenics
selective amnesia's the story
believed foretold but who'd suspect
the military intelligence
two words combined that can't make sense

Possibly i've seen to much
hangar 18 i know too much

Why is Alberto Hurtado so important in Chile?

Luis Alberto Hurtado Cruchaga, was borned in Viña del Mar, Chile, on January 22 of 1901, but he is known as Padre Hurtado. He joined to the Company of Jesus in 1923, and became a priest in 1933. He helped young and poor people to get close to the church. But his help and defense to the poor people and workers make that the wealthiest and conservatives places of society and church to label him as a communist priest. But then he founded the "Hogar de Cristo", an institution that collect money for beneficence, and receive needish people. He did two miracles, and the Pope Benedict VI declared him as a Saint in 2005.

Extreme Sports

I think extreme sports are really awesome, because they can disconect you from everything else, and all the stress of the city and the work.

But it's really important to use security, because you can get really hurt, or even die. They also can be really scary because of that, and there are lots of other risks, but besides all those risks, I still would like to do one of them, because I think they are really cool and very exciting.

Do you like piercings? Why?

Well, I like how piercings look, but I don't like when there are too much of them. I mean, one or two in the face would be fine, but fill your entire body with piercings? Even if there are people who like that, I think it looks bad. Besides, I don't like the fact of piercing my body. They stuck a needle somewhere in your body, and even if that doesn't hurts, the place you pierced can inflame, and it can become infected. So, I can say that I like the way piercings look, but only if there are one or two, but I won't have one.

a) Prosecute and deport illegal immigrants.

b) The police can arrest anyone suspected of being in the country illegally.

c) Crack down on those sheltering, hiring and transporting illegal immigrants.

2. The most affected people are the immigrants, because they are going to be arrested randomly just because they are immigrants, even if they are just going on vacations, and the people that had opportunities that they didn't had in their original country, will be affected, and making them look bad.

3. I agree with the fact that being an illegal immigrant is a misdemeanor, but they can't arrest them just because of being immigrants, because they are also arresting legal immigrants, and if they don't have their documents, they will be prosecuted, and this law also promote racism against aliens (People from other country).

If I had a superpower...

If I had a superpower it would be flying, because I could fly anywhere, but more important, at least from my point of view, is that I wouldn't have to wait for the traffic. But even if I could, I probably wouldn't do it anyway for two reasons: First, I preffer to walk because I do excercise and I can talk with the person I am walking with, and second, I would't want to be seen while I fly, someone can see me, and all the press will talk about it and everybody will go crazy. But I still would like to fly.

New Wave Of British Heavy Metal (200 words project)

The topic of my project is the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal, the main bands of this genre, its style and influence to the actual Heavy Metal and Hard Rock.

Frequently abbreviate as NWOBHM, it appeared in England at the ending of the 70's, it was mostly inspired in the hard rock of last decade, and bands like Led Zeppelin, Queen, Kiss, Deep Purple and Black Sabbath. Some of its main survivors are Def Leppard, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Diamond Head, Raven, Saxon, Grim Reaper, Tank and the recently extincted Samson.

The NWOBH had a decline as many other musical movements. Bands like Def Leppard move away from the genre towards the mainstream hard rock to increase the american market. Bands like Van Halen, Mötley Crüe and Guns N' Roses were found by many rock fans, and the faster and heavier Thrash Metal replace the british metal. However, Iron Maiden and Motörhead stayed with their original sound, earning a considerable and lasting success, besides the decline of their sound.

The NWOBHM was an important genre to the heavy metal and music, and influence the new genres that appeared sence the 80's, like the Trash Metal, influencing bands such as Metallica.

Chile's Reconstruction

After the Chile's earthquake and tsunami in 2010 and tens aftershocks, lots of buildings and churchs didn't stand and fell down. There are approximately half a million affected houses. The total reconstruction of the damages all along the country will be finished in at least 3 years and it will cost about 30 thousand million dollars.

The Resurrection of Jesus Christ

Resurrection of Christ,

Noel Coypel

The morning of Easter Sunday, the apostols found out that the Jesus' body wasn't in his tomb. First, they thought the body was stealed, but then, he appeared, saying that he resurrected, showing his enjuries to probe it. Just like he told it would be, he died crucified on Friday, and resurrected after three days.

Robberies in Concepcion

After the earthquake and tsunami in Chile, there were lots of robberies all along the country, specially in Concepcion, so the autorities decreeted a curfew there, but it didn't stop the stealing, beeing this justified by lack of food, besides lots of people steal more electrical appliance like LCDs or even fridges than food. Now that there are no strongs aftershocks, and the curfew finished, by now, the looting finally stopped.

St. Joseph

Saint Joseph was the husband of Virgin Mary, and the earthly father of Jesus. He worked as a carpenter. When he found out that Mary was pregnant, he was going to leave her in secret, because he was a just man, and he didn't wanted her to be punished, but an angel appeared in his dreams, and told him that Mary conceived through the Holy Spirit, and told him in another dream that Herod was planning to kill Jesus, and ordained him to take Mary and Jesus to Egypt. The last appearance of Joseph in the Bible was when Jesus visited the Temple in Jerusalem. Is assumed that he died after Jesus was 12 years old.
