COLD CASE

It was about a girl that was a drug addict and she got pregnat and had a Little baby. Since she realized that she was pregnat she tried to stop her bad behavior but I’t wasn’t easy for her, nobody trust in her, neither her parents, so, when the baby was born she started to suffer a lot because she hadn’t any place to live with her Little baby and she asked her parents for help but they didn’t want to help her.

The baby's father was a terrible man, he was drug addict too but he wanted that the girl fell back in drugs again, but she was strong because she loved her baby, she become clean for her baby and all the things that she did were for her baby.

There was a dead baby that had been battered for his drugs addict parents until he passed away. So, there was a couple that couldn`t have children and they stole the girl’s baby.

While she tried to get help, she left her baby alone for a moment and the couple took advantange of the situacion and they changed her baby for the dead one and they put on the gas heater and they caused an explosion to rub out the finger prints.

The real mother was In prison because some witnesses talked about her bad behavior, and the police thought that she had killed her son because she hated him as some people accused her as well.

Three years later the police found out that the dead baby wasn’t MAX, so they look for her mother and they immediately went to the place where the kid was and after so long of suffering to her without her son she become happy. She had kept clean for his son. It was a good story, I felt crying at the end of the chapter… jejejejejejjejejejejjejejejejje!!!
DON'T BOTHER
by Shakira

She's got the kind of look
That defies gravity.
She's the greatest cook.
And she's fat free.

She's been to private school
And she speaks perfect French.
She's got the perfect friends.
Oh, isn't she cool?

She practises Tai Chi.
She'd never lose her nerve.
She's more than you deserve.
She's just far better than me.

Hey, hey.
So don't bother.
I won't die of deception.
I promise you won't ever see me cry.
Don't feel sorry.

And don't bother.
I'll be fine.
But she's waiting.
The ring you gave to her will lose its shine.
So don't bother, be unkind.

I'm sure she doesn't know
How to touch you like I would.
I beat her at that one good,
Don't you think so?

She's almost six feet tall.
She must think I'm a flea.
I'm really a cat, you see,
And it's not my last life at all.

Hey, hey.
So don't bother.
I won't die of deception.
I promise you won't ever see me cry.
Don't feel sorry.

Don't bother.
I'll be fine.
But she's waiting.
The ring you gave to her will lose its shine.
So don't bother, be unkind.

For you, I'd give up all I own
And move to a communist country,
If you came with me, of course.
And I'd file my nails so they don't hurt you,
And lose those pounds, and learn about football,
If it made you stay,
But you won't, but you won't.

So don't bother.
I'll be fine, I'll be fine,
I'll be fine, I'll be fine.
Promise you won't ever see me cry.
And after all I'm glad
That I'm not your type.
Promise you won't ever see me cry.

I DON'T WANNA MISS A THING
(Theme from Armageddon)
by Aerosmith

I could stay awake
Just to hear you breathing,
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
Far-away and dreaming.
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender,
I could stay lost in this moment
Forever.
Well, every moment spent with you
Is a moment I treasure.

[Chorus:]
I don't wanna close my eyes,
I don't wanna fall asleep,
'Cos I'd miss you, babe,
And I don't wanna miss a thing.
'Cos even when I dream of you,
The sweetest dream will never do.
I'd still miss you, babe,
And I don't wanna miss a thing.

Lying close to you,
Feeling your heart beating.
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming,
Wondering if it's me you're seeing.
Then I kiss your eyes
And thank God we're together
And I just wanna stay with you
In this moment forever,
Forever and ever.

[Chorus]

I don't wanna miss one smile,
I don't wanna miss one kiss,
Well, I just wanna be with you,
Right here with you, just like this.
I just wanna hold you close,
Feel your heart so close to mine,
And stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time.

[Chorus]
NO QUIERO EXTRAÑAR NADA
(Tema de Armageddon)
por Aerosmith

Podría permanecer despierto
Sólo para escucharte respirar,
Mirarte sonreír mientras duermes
A lo lejos, y soñando.
Podría pasar mi vida en esta dulce claudicación,
Podría quedarme perdido en este momento
Para siempre.
Ya que, cada momento que pasé contigo
Es un momento que valoro mucho.

[Estribillo:]
No quiero cerrar los ojos,
No quiero quedarme dormido,
Porque te extrañaría, nena,
Y no quiero extrañar nada.
Porque aún si soñara contigo,
El más dulce de los sueños no alcanzará.
Aún así te extrañaría, nena,
Y no quiero extrañar nada.

Acostado cerca de ti,
Siento latir tu corazón.
Y me pregunto con qué estás soñando,
Me pregunto si será conmigo.
Luego, beso tus ojos
Y agradezco a Dios que estemos juntos
Y sólo quiero estar contigo
En este momento para siempre,
Para siempre, siempre.

[Estribillo]

No quiero extrañar ni una sonrisa,
No quiero extrañar ni un beso,
Ya que sólo quiero estar contigo,
Aquí mismo, contigo, como ahora.
Sólo quiero tenerte cerca
Sentir tu corazón muy cerca del mío,
Y permanecer aquí, en este momento
Por el resto del tiempo.

SAY IT RIGHT
by Nelly Furtado

In the day, in the night,
Say it right, say it all.
You either got it, or you don't.
You either stand, or you fall.
When your will is broken,
When it slips from your hand,
When there's no time for joking,
There's a hole in the plan.

[Chorus:]
Oh, you don't mean nothing at all to me.
No, you don't mean nothing at all to me.
But you got what it takes to set me free.
Oh, you could mean everything to me.

I can't say that I'm not lost and at fault.
I can't say that I don't love the light and the dark.
I can't say that I don't know that I am alive.
And all of what I feel I could show
You tonight, you tonight.

[Chorus]

From my hands I could give you
Something that I made.
From my mouth I could sing you
Another brick that I laid.
From my body I could show you
A place God knows.
You should know the space is holy.
Do you really want to go?
DILO BIEN
por Nelly Furtado

De día, de noche,
Dilo bien, dilo todo.
O lo tienes, o no.
O te quedas parado, o te caes.
Cuando tu voluntad se rompe,
Cuando se va de tu mano,
Cuando no hay tiempo para bromas,
Hay un agujero en el plan.

[Estribillo:]
Oh, no significas nada para mí.
No, no significas nada para mí.
Pero tienes lo necesario para liberarme.
Oh, podrías significar todo para mí.

No puedo decir que no estoy perdida y en falta.
No puedo decir que no amo la luz y la oscuridad.
No puedo decir que no sé que estoy viva.
Y todo lo que siento podría mostrarlo
A ti esta noche, a ti esta noche.

[Estribillo]

Con mis manos podría darte
Algo que hice.
Con mi boca podría cantarte
Otro ladrillo que puse.
Con mi cuerpo podría mostrate
Un lugar que Dios conoce.
Deberías saber que el espacio es sagrado.
¿Realmente quieres ir?



ANGIE
by The Rolling Stones

Angie, Angie,
When will those clouds all disappear?
Angie, Angie,
Where will it lead us from here?
With no loving in our souls
And no money in our coats,
You can't say we're satisfied.

But Angie, Angie,
You can't say we never tried.
Angie, you're beautiful,
But ain't it time we said goodbye?
Angie, I still love you,
Remember all those nights we cried?
All the dreams we held so close
Seemed to all go up in smoke.
Let me whisper in your ear:
Angie, Angie, where will it lead us from here?

Oh, Angie, don't you weep,
All your kisses still taste sweet.
I hate that sadness in your eyes.
But Angie, Angie, ain't it time we said goodbye?
With no loving in our souls
And no money in our coats
You can't say we're satisfied.

But Angie, I still love you, baby.
Everywhere I look, I see your eyes.
There ain't a woman that comes close to you.
Come on, baby, dry your eyes.
But Angie, Angie, ain't it good to be alive?
Angie, Angie,
They can't say we never tried.
ANGIE
por The Rolling Stones

Angie, Angie,
Cuándo desaparecerán todas esas nubes?
Angie, Angie,
Hacia dónde nos llevará de aquí?
Sin amor en nuestras almas
Y sin dinero en nuestros abrigos,
No puedes decir que estamos satisfechos.

Pero Angie, Angie,
No puedes decir que nunca lo intentamos.
Angie, eres hermosa,
Pero no es hora de decir adiós?
Angie, aún te amo,
Recuerdas todas esas noches que lloramos?
Todos los sueños que tuvimos tan cerca parecen haberse hecho humo.
Déjame susurrar en tu oído:
Angie, Angie, hacia dónde nos llevará de aquí?

Oh, Angie, no llores,
Todos tus besos aún saben dulces.
Odio esa tristeza en tus ojos.
Pero Angie, Angie, no es hora de decir adiós?
Sin amor en nuestras almas
Y sin dinero en nuestros abrigos,
No puedes decir que estamos satisfechos.

Pero Angie, aún te amo, cariño.
A cualquier parte que mire, veo tus ojos.
No existe una mujer que se compare a ti.
Vamos, cariño, sécate los ojos.
Pero Angie, Angie, no es bueno estar vivos?
Angie, Angie,
No pueden decir que


ANGELS
by Robbie Williams

I sit and wait.
Does an angel contemplate my fate?
And do they know
The places where we go
When we're grey and old?
'Cos I've been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold.
So when I'm lying in my bed,
Thoughts running through my head,
And I feel that love is dead,
I'm loving angels instead.

And through it all she offers me protection,
A lot of love and affection,
Whether I'm right or wrong.
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me,
I know that life won't break me.
When I come to call, she won't forsake me,
I'm loving angels instead.

When I'm feeling weak,
And my pain walks down a one-way street.
I look above,
And I know I'll always be blessed with love,
And as the feeling grows,
She breathes flesh to my bones,
And when love is dead
I'm loving angels instead.

And through it all she offers me protection,
A lot of love and affection,
Whether I'm right or wrong.
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me,
I know that life won't break me.
When I come to call, she won't forsake me,
I'm loving angels instead.





ANGELES
por Robbie Williams

Me siento y espero.
¿Un ángel contempla mi destino?
¿Y saben ellos
Los lugares adonde vamos
Cuando somos canosos y viejos?
Porque me han dicho
Que la salvación les permite desplegar sus alas.
Por eso cuando estoy acostado en mi cama,
Con pensamientos corriendo por mi cabeza,
Y siento que el amor está muerto,
En vez de eso amo a los ángeles.

Y a través de todo, ella me ofrece protección,
Un montón de amor y afecto,
Aunque esté bien o mal.
Y hacia abajo, por la cascada
Dondequiera que me lleve,
Sé que la vida no me arruinará.
Cuando llegue el momento, ella no me abandonará,
En vez de eso amo a los ángeles.

Cuando me siento débil,
Y el dolor camina en una sola dirección.
Miro hacia arriba,
Y sé que siempre seré bendecido con amor,
Y a medida que el sentimiento aumenta,
Ella le otorga carne a mis huesos,
Y cuando el amor está muerto
En vez de eso amo a los ángels.

Y a través de todo, ella me ofrece protección,
Un montón de amor y afecto,
Aunque esté bien o mal.
Y hacia abajo, por la cascada
Dondequiera que me lleve,
Sé que la vida no me arruinará.
Cuando llegue el momento, ella no me abandonará,
En vez de eso amo a los ángeles.

TEACHING ROBOTS IN THE CURRENT CLASSROON


INTRODUCTION:
Actually we can see the intervention of technology in the current classroom and of course all the advantages and disadvantages that those new methods brings to the students. The chief reason why I’m writing this paper is because human teacher may be replaced for the introduction of ITS (Intelligent tutoring systems) or teaching robots that are computer systems that provide personalized instruction and feedback to students without human intervention though facial expression recognition, for that reason all of us should ask to ourselves the question Is it possible that one day robots could replace human teachers? The answer to this question seems to be no clear but some experts as Jacob Whitehill, of the University of California's Machine Perception Lab (MPLAB), the manager of this researching says that it was an important development in improving learning systems and "The technology can facilitate these more advanced learning scenarios," he said; although we aren’t completely sure about this, Olney another expert said that "The ITS which have been developed are already better teachers than people who have no experience," and he felt that human teachers would always have an important role, but said the current classroom set-up faces change. We can think a lot of things respect to this topic but what I want to share with this essay are the advantages and disadvantages of having teaching robots in the current classroom.

FIRST PARAGRAPH:
If we are going to talk about the advantages of the (ITS) In the current classroom we can mention that “The traditional model of learning is consistently shown as one of the worst ways to teach people. It's much better for a student to have one-on-one interaction. According to that sentence I think that It is very important for the society to have the world in connection to access easily to the information and motivate people to know whatever they want and whenever they want, also we will see many different types of learning environments and in that case we can truly close educational achievement gaps through constructive use of the technology but the most important achievement for all of us is that Children in the future will be able to explore and learn about domains at far younger ages and with far greater results through computational approaches. They will be able to work with and learn from people around the world through connectivity. They will be able to learn without boundaries an expert said. Something that call my attention is that this system gives the students ten times more experience compared to traditional methods and that’s awesome because we consider that in life every moment is a learning experience although I’m not sure if the technology could assist human educators, acting as an intelligence system giving information about the students' needs according to Ong’s (businessman) words. This is a complex topic that required time and real experience to believe and make sure that our learning process is going to be ok.

SECOND PARAGRAPH:
Now the disadvantages to the application of this technology in the current classroom could be that some students are not enough serious to assume their learning process with responsibility, but I think that the greatest disadvantage of this technology is the moral and ethical support that all human needs in their growing process because people have to share their opinions and points of view to make the feedback of their knowledge and of course it is impossible with the machines because they can not think and solve problem, they only can give information.

THIRD PARAGRAPH:
As a consequence of the advantages and disadvantages of this smart technology we should think in the future, in how our children are going to be educated and what kind of society we are forming though the application of this tutoring systems or teaching robots. The inventor of this researching (Jacob Whitehill) said that his goal is not to change how people learn but rather to adapt computer and robot interfaces to how people learn. He is trying to bring the robot teachers to us, not the other way around. Finally I agree with Jacob when he said “The technology is not the most difficult part. Helping institutions to change and adapt to enable the new possibilities is the most difficult element. What is needed is vision and political will”; In my way of thinking this a new paradigm that we have to face up in order to find out the best way to teach and form people for the new challenges that are coming up!

Wisdom calls aloud in the street,
she raises her voice in the public squares;

at the head of the noisy streets she cries out,
in the gateways of the city she makes her speech:

"How long will you simple ones love your simple ways?
How long will mockers delight in mockery
and fools hate knowledge?

ALL MY WORK!!!
