the film: ICE AGE




The film begins with Sid, a clumsy ground sloth left behind by his family, is attacked by two Brontops whom he angered. Sid is soon saved by Manny, an agitated mammoth who fights them off. Not wanting to be alone and unprotected, Sid follows Manny. Meanwhile, Soto, the leader of a Smilodon pride wants revenge on a group of humans by eating the chief's son, Roshan, alive. There is an attack on the human camp, causing the mother to be separated from the rest. Soto's lieutenant, Diego, is sent to find and bring the baby back. Sid and Manny spot Nadia near the lake having survived her trip over the waterfall. She has only enough strength to trust her baby to Manny before she disappears. After much persuasion by the sloth, they decide to return Roshan but when they get to the human camp, the humans are gone. They meet up with Diego, who convinces the pair to let him help by tracking the humans. The four travel on, with Diego secretly leading them to an ambush. Soon they reach a cave where Sid and Diego learn about Manny's past and his previous interactions with the humans, where his wife and son were killed, leaving Manny a cynical loner.
At the end of the film, Diego, Manny and Sid battle Soto's pack and a short fight ensues. Diego fights against Soto, and Soto knocks Diego out. As Soto closes in for the kill on Manny, Diego leaps and stops Soto, who wounds Diego in the process. Manny, in vengeance, knocks Soto into a wall of rocks, where sharp icicles fall on Soto, killing him. Manny and Sid manage to return the baby to his tribe before but Diego return with the group and they return the baby with her father.

new4: computer model...

This new say that the University of North Carolina is going to win the NCAA men's basketball tournament.
At least that's the prediction of Joel Sokol, a Georgia Tech professor whose statistical model correctly selected the Final Four, championship game and winner of last year's tournament.
Be glad he's not in your office's betting pool.
Finding some kind of rationality in March Madness, which starts in earnest Thursday, has been an American pastime for decades. Tournament brackets are everywhere, and from sports TV to the dinner table, everyone seems to have predictions about which team will claim the top spot, and why.
But in recent years, "bracketology," as sorting out the single-elimination
basketball tournament is sometimes called, has increasingly become the scientific endeavor its name suggests. It's even something on which university professors and professional statisticians stake their reputations.
There are at least 40 individual people or groups using statistical models to analyze college basketball and rank its teams online, according to Kenneth Massey, whose Web site,
masseyratings.com, lets users compare the analyses.
Anecdotal evidence suggests more people are getting in the game, perhaps because the raw data used to run the equations is easily accessible on the Internet.

new3: Inernet and childrens


The new say that the parents have got an image for this children and the use that they do of the internet. The parents thing that their sons spend a little time for internet but in reality children spend a lot of time in internet. In the UK the children spend 45.5 hours for month.
Also the parents think that their sons don’t visited incorrect webs but a 31% of the UK children in the survey said their parents did not know what they were doing online.

The results of the study demonstrated that the men with levels of this protein desenvoloped this disease. Nowadays the men can do a test of the level of this protein and salve their live. But a lot of people ignore this test and this is an error.

composition: human rights

Well in my opinion the declaration of the human rights isn’t neutral because it content rests of the European culture although is a great invent because with this the world is better and we have can develop our societies.
Good I think that the articles most important are:
· The first article that say: All the human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights and, endowed since they are of reason and conscience, some must behave to respect with others.
For me this article is the most important because it considers the free of the humans and considers all the equal human beings and in that therefore none can abuse other one. I think that is the article with more importance because is the article most violated why with the wars, the sexual abuse, the racism and the xenophobia constantly the people abuse of this article. Today, in the 21st century a lot of people don’t understand that the people although theirs colour of skin is black or yellow or white they are equals and today still exist a racism groups.
· The second article important in my opinion is the third article everything person has right to the life, to the freedom and to the safety of his person.
This article is important because the life is important and the people have right to life and in the world everyday people kill other people for different reasons and I think that isn’t the action to solve the problems also exist the dialogue and we aren’t nobody for kill a other person that is equal as us.
· The third and also important article is the article twenty that say Every person has right to the freedom of pacific meeting and of association.
This is important because the people have free of expression and it is important because the people develop this personal identity and it is good for de develop of the world.
· The article four also is important because it say every person has right to the rest, to the enjoyment of the free time, to a reasonable limitation of the duration of the work and to periodic full vacations.
This article prevents the exploitation of hard-working as the owners did in the past and the hard-workings can have a nice life with working and correct holidays.
· And for me the second article is very important because it say that the human rights are corrects for the all people and nobody can limit this declaration in a group of people.
