My trip to London

In 2011 during my vacations I went to London for a week because this was a city that I always wanted to visit. One of the most fun parts of my trip was the ride on the most famous giant wheel in the UK the London Eye. The view from the top of the wheel was amazing and it's an image that is still in my mind.Other attraction that I enjoyed to see was the Natural History Museum, where i was amazed by the remains of the huge dinassour which were in exposition. I also did some more spectacular things there like a boat cruise on the river Thames. I also went to Madame Tussauds and saw the most famous people in the planet in wax figures!
After this I went to spent some money in some souvenirs on Harrods! In the end I just wanna say that I love London and wish to come back there any time soon if possible!

Internet

The internet is considered one of the most important technological discoveries worldwide! The internet or the worldwide network of computers, appeared in 1969 in the midst of the cold war. This great discovery, serves to share information, Exchange, express ideas and opinions, contacts with colleagues, family through social networks and not only so many other services. Has any other risk situations! I use it in a positive way and in my opinion, the internet was a great invention and will continue to be an area with great development to serve us all!

i live in torres vedras and i am 28 years old.
i like to be on my computer and going online.
i think the internet was a great discovery because is a very important tool in our life today.
it makes our life easier helping in finding everything and everyone.
i use my computer to seach for recipes of food and cakes, to talk to my friends and to help my soon on school papers.
i think kids these days play with computers too much and for long periods of time instead of playing outside with their friends.

Generic Drugs.

Generic Drugs.

 A generic drug is a drug with the same active ingredient of the original drug and it can usually be changeable with respect to the reference product,  the exchange  generic is possible. The researchers note that generic drugs turn out to be more economically viable than the branded drugs because they "benefit from 12 years of name drugs." So there is no argument that contradicts the fact that generic drugs have the same quality that brand name drugs

Diabetes


Every book about diabetes begins with the history of the disease.
You learn that it is an ancient disease, which Banting & Best were the discoverers of insulin and many other things.
However, it is known that the knowledge about diabetes experienced a dramatic evolution in recent years, not only about the pathological mechanisms of diseases, but also in relation to new therapeutic options, all based on the same pathophysiological mechanism of diabetes.
This fantastic progress in knowledge was indisputable source of good and bad news.
Starting with the lattest news, it is known that diabetes has emerged as an epidemic of serious proportions; its prevalence has increased dramatically, as a result of an aging population and negative changes in lifestyle .
Additionally, the disease is manifested in earlier ages.
Geneticists believe, today, that a group of genes spread throughout the genome, in varying combinations and a complex interaction with acquired factors lead to the onset of diabetes and its complications, whose impact varies from individual to individual.
Finally, it tends to disappear the classical distinction between diabetes type 1 or 2, and is now recognized the diabetes "type 1.5" (the latent autoimmune diabetes in adults) and was been diagnosed many cases of type 2 diabetes in adolescents and those with diabetes type MODY, where there is a genetic alteration, appeared, also, various forms of glucose intolerance, such as those found in pregnancy, polycystic ovary and steatohepatitis.
However, the evolution of knowledge has also brought good news.
For example, are now understood all the pathophysiological aspects of hyperglycemia and it is possible to know the blood sugar levels at any time, with cutting-edge mobile technologies.
Are understood, too, the cellular basis of insulin resistance that predicts, characterizes and precedes glucose intolerance.
There are thorog knowledge of the role of the endocrine pancreas in diabetes and also their role in sudden or progressive loss of beta cell function.
Are also known, the effects of gastrointestinal hormones in glycemic control, as well as the harmful effects of obesity and overweight in the control of diabetes.
Are advanced studies on the mechanisms of hypertrophy of the islets (neogenesis vs. replication).
This new knowledge led to intense activity in the pharmaceutical industry.
For over half a century, the only treatments available to hyperglycaemic conditions, were sulfas,  insulin and metoformina.
Now, the new drugs, seek to act in multiple pathophysiologic mechanisms of glucose metabolism.
Exciting new strategies are being examined: for example, activation of glicoquinase, blocking the action of glucagon, prevention of renal reabsorption of glucose, delayed gastric emptying, inhaled insulin and oral.
The possibility for the normalization of blood glucose for 24 hours does appear to be achieved in short, a fact comparable to that achieved with statins in relation to cholesterol.
There is, therefore, to keep alive the hope for a brighter future.

The importance of Internet in my life

Hello! My name is Vanessa, I'm 28 and I'll talk a bit about the importance of internet in my life.

The internet has become very important to me since the moment that social networks appeared . Through them I can keep in touch with most people that somehow have made or are part of my life. 
Nowadays you can talk using video calls, that provides a sense of shortest distance between family and friends.

It is also through the internet that I save a lot of time in the delivery of statements of IRS, in payment of car tax, on transfers and payments for services.

The Internet

The internet has revolutionized our society. Apart from being a way of communicate, it is also used to do research. It's easy, fast, economical and environmentally friendly.

But all this accessibility has brought with it many dangers. As for example, life can become more virtual than real, the easy way which kids can access to inappropriate content, or the habituation of young people to get information so easily, it only devalues other type of research and make them accepting its contents without questioning.

Personally and professionally I go to the Internet to do research, send e-mails, share documents and taking care of issues related to social security and finance, also use the Home Bank. All this with just one click.

L'importance de l'Internet dans la vie quotidienne

De nos jours, le jour d'Internet se présente comme un «ami» qui nous permet de transmettre et de recevoir des informations partout dans le monde. Grâce à elle, nous pouvons rencontrer de nouvelles personnes, créer de nouvelles amitiés, de communiquer avec des milliers de personnes de miles de nous. Surfer sur l'Internet nous donne accès à une énorme quantité et la diversité de l'information fait de nous des gens plus à jour, plus instruits. Quelle est la qualité un jour de pluie de l'hiver, soit lu le journal du matin, sans avoir à sortir de l'acheter, au risque de la salle de bain pour prendre un brave, ou se référer à s'adresser à un magasin ou un restaurant avec quelques clics de souris. Ce ne sont que quelques situations qui ne sont simplifiées à l'aide d'Internet. En termes commerciaux, l'Internet facilite la communication d'une relation d'affaires ou professionnelles avec leurs clients et le public en général. Un site Web sur le Web est une vitrine virtuelle qui est vrai pour la publicité institutionnelle, que ce soit pour la fourniture d'informations sur les produits et services ou de commercialisation de produits et services. Être ouvert 24 heures par jour, tous les jours de l'année, les gens peuvent acheter des produits qui ne sont pas dans leur lieu de résidence, ou même dans votre pays. L'Internet est également très utile en médecine, qui, depuis qu'il a commencé à être utilisé a sauvé de nombreuses vies, les médecins qui envoient des courriels à d'autres même à l'étranger pour de meilleures opinions et d'aider ou même la recherche d'informations sur la maladie, le traitement et la guérison.

Text about music

Hi my name is Sandra Vitorino, and I leave were one short reflection about music.

Music is an art form whose medium is sound and silence. Its common elements are pitch (which governs melody and harmony), rhythm (and its associated concepts tempo, meter, and articulation), dynamics, and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture. The word derives from Greek μουσική (mousike; "art of the Muses").

The creation, performance, significance, and even the definition of music vary according to culture and social context. Music ranges from strictly organized compositions (and their recreation in performance), through improvisational music to aleatoric forms. Music can be divided into genres and subgenres, although the dividing lines and relationships between music genres are often subtle, sometimes open to individual interpretation, and occasionally controversial. Within "the arts", music may be classified as a performing art, a fine art, and auditory art. There is also a strong connection between music and mathematics.

Hi my Name is Paulo and I leave were one short reflection of hearing lost problems and a short advice of prevention that all persons can read and think a little.


What is the problem with noise?

Noise is part of everyday life, but too much noise can cause permanent and disabling hearing damage. This can be hearing loss that gets worse over time, damage caused by sudden, extremely loud noises, or tinnitus (permanent ringing in the ears).

With hearing damage, conversation becomes difficult or impossible, your family complains about the television being too loud, you have trouble using the telephone, and you may be unable to sleep. By the time you notice, it is probably too late.

However, there is no need for your hearing to be damaged by your work – your employer has a duty to protect you and should be working on measures to reduce the risk. You can play a part in helping your employer to protect you.



Best regards Paulo Vitorino.

AS HERIAS

Buenas Noches

Mi nombre es Manuel Marques, yo vivo en Ponte Rol, e voy hablar por las herías.

Estamos en tiempo de herías, muchos de mis amigos ya se encuentran en  vacaciones, unos en  la playa otros en la tierra natal e otros viajando. Yo también me gustaría mucho del poder hacer, pero mi vida  Es un poco complicada, tengo poco tiempo y es  sólo para gozar algunos fines de semana y que  aprovecho para ir con mi  esposa á playa. Deseo a todos mis amigos unas buenas vacaciones. Adiós hasta  breve.

Buenas tardes,

Mi nombre es Norberto Teles, yo vivo en el pueblo de Lourinhã.

La Internet llegó a nuestras vidas en este momento de suma importancia. Esta tecnología ha permitido que la información circule sin censura. En mi caso, como activista por los Verdes, que puede recibir y transmitir las noticias que de otro modo serían censuradas. Podemos ver esta censura en esta protesta "Mineros", donde la policía ha actuado en una muy violenta contra los trabajadores, en Portugal no hay noticias. Sin Internet no podríamos ver las atrocidades cometidas contra las personas que trabajan. Para la difusión de estos informes usar el facebook. Para intercambiar ideas y conocer el uso en línea Skype.

The Internets is a global system of interconnected computer networks. Serve billions of users in the worldwide (private, public, academic, business, and governments) . They are linked by a broad array of electronic wireless and optical networking technologies. The internet carries an extensive range of information resources and services. For me is very important because is useful to take information, and to communicate to others.

A internet é um sistema global de redes de computadores interconectados. Serve milhares de milhões de utilizadores a nível mundial (privados, públicos, académicos, empresas e governos). Eles são ligados por um amplo conjunto de tecnologias electrónicas de redes ópticas e sem fios. A internet traz uma extensa gama de recursos de informação e serviços. Para mim é muito importante porque é útil para levar informações e comunicar com outras pessoas.
