A Photograph I like..

This is my favorite photographs of all I have ever taken. It was took by me while me and my dogs went for a walk. I think that this photographs shows a beautiful scene where we can see my dogs taking a breath while they rest to continue with the walk.

I am going to tell you a little more about my dogs. They are Tobby and Maite. Tobby is a male dog that has ten years and is while. And Maite is a female dog that has six years and is brown.

It was taken one year ago. I like it so much because I took it very spontaneously then I think I was able the capture the precise moment especially because my dogs a second earlier were running around. Also I must clarify that I almost never take pictures so that is one more reason for me to like it so much.

A) About Cows:

1. What are the  5 most common pathologies of cows? Mention them and give a little description too.

• Foot and Mouth Disease: it is a highly contagious disease in livestock that causes lesions similar to blisters on the tongue, nose, mouth and toes of the animals. The disease does not normally kill the livestock but creates painful ulcers after the blisters burst, and can cause high fevers, weakened legs, and even the loss of the ability to walk. 
• Brucellosis and tuberculosis: these are two highly contagious diseases carried by cattle. Similar in nature, these diseases are spread by infected material during calving. The diseases threaten humans, because the unpasteurized milk of infected cattle can spread the disease.
• Anaemia: this in animals is often caused by bush ticks that attach themselves to the livestock. Normally found in the ears, around the tail, and on the underside of the animal, bush ticks transfer, especially to cattle, a disease known as theileriosis. The disease creates symptoms similar to anaemia in humans: lethargy, loss of appetite, inability to exercise. Cattle with anaemia may have pale/yellow colored gums and abort babies if pregnant.
• Bracken poisoning: it most commonly occurs in the fall when grass does not grow. Bracken is a plant that contains toxins poisonous to animals who graze. Bracken is considered cancerous and is almost always fatal to infected livestock. When an animal eats a large amount of bracken, disease forms because of depressed bone marrow and lack of production of white blood cells. Death can occur as soon as five days after the first sign of symptoms.
• Dehydration and heat stress: these are common issues livestock face during the hot summer months. This diseases can to cause Sunken eyes, yellow dark urine and fever. Treating dehydration requires rehydration of the animal with plenty of water and electrolytes.

2. Publish a picture of the cow's digestive system (with names)

3. Publish a picture of the cow's external anatomy  (with names)

B) Choose one of these farm animals:  pig, horse or rabbit.

1. Choose a good website that refers to your animal. Explain why you like the website. (50 words)

 

http://www.livescience.com/28162-rabbits.html

I choose the website livescience because it is a science magazine website. This online magazine is very important to global level. When I went to school my biology teacher sometimes say that "livescience" its a very good website to search information. So when I search information about rabbit and I found this page I think that get information will be sure. Then I get in to the page and I found many fact about rabbits like: size, offspring, diet, habitat, habits, taxonomy classification, species and conservation status. 

2. Find a good picture showing (with names) the animal's external anatomy.

Timeline of Human Development

1. About 800,000 years ago, fire was controlled by early humans.

2. About four million years ago most early human species became bipedal.

3. The Homo Habilis used to live in Eastern and Southern Africa.

4. About 12,000 years ago, humans managed to control the growth and breeding of some plants and animals.

5. The Sahelanthropus tchadensis is the earliest human species from the timeline.

Answer these questions:

1. What's been the role of climate change in the development of humans?

The climate change was very important en the development of humans because thanks to that change the humans had to adapt so that they could live. Then that was the beginning of brain development, bipedal development and emergence of different kind of instruments. 

2. In your opinion, what is the most significant milestone for the human evolution? Why?

I think that the most important milestone for the human evolution is when they becoming bipedal because this afford that the species walked upright on two legs. So this was the beginning of a big evolution in the next years.  

3. Which early human species was thought to be the first to use tools made from stone?

The Homo Habilis was thought to represent the first stone toolmaker.

4. Who were the first human species to travel to and live in Europe? When?

The firs human species to venture into the cold latitudes of Europe was Homo Heidelbergensis. This happened about 700.000 to 200.000 years ago.

5. Which species survived for the longest time? For how long?

The Homo Erectus was the species that survived for the longest time on our family tree, surviving more than nine times as long as our own species. Then it means that he survive between about 1,89 million and 143.000 years ago.  

My favourite object

It`s really hard to me find a favorite object because the things are not very important  in my life. But one of my favorite object is my computer. I use my computer for a lot of things like listen to music, watch movies or series, remember moments watching photos, make video call with my parents or friends and spent time on Facebook or sometimes Instagram. Even I use it to study or make my homework.

I use my computer just sometimes at day when I am not busy, so sometimes I watch movies. Always in the night I talk to my parents for a minutes to say good night or relate them about my day here. 

I like my computer because is very useful and I can use it whenever

I want. I think that I use it much time that before because now I am far away to my home. Also how now I am a university student I have many things to do, so the computer is good for that.

I think that my life without computer will be more difficult especially because it is very useful. But 

 without a doubt I could live without it. 

  

Questions

- What is your opinion about recycling?

I think that the recycling should be to use for everybody, because its a way to care of the planet. We can recycling bottles, different kinds of plastic, piece of glass, even the water and other things. For example in the house of my grandfather (he lives in the country), he recycles the skin of different vegetables like potatoes, carrots or tomatoes. So he saves it in a space that later he fills with earth and it become in a earth full of nutrient that use specially to plant things.

- What is your opinion about cloning?

I'm not agree with the cloning for a moral subject because I think that replace a person or an animal its not fair to them. For example in the video that teacher show us, we see dogs replace for other dogs that physically looks just like the original but isn't the same. I personally couldn't replace my dogs even they died because that will be selfish. But scientifically thinking this will be a big step and an interesting topic.

- What is your opinion about legalizing abortion in some cases?

I am agree with legalizing abortion but just in some cases like in case of violation, risk for the healthy mother or invalidity of baby. I think that in that cases nobody can prohibit to a woman take a decision about her body. But I think that the abortion can't be legalize just because the mother wants to have an abortion because she was irresponsible in a party, this is just an example.     

- What is your opinion about fortune telling?

I think that the fortune telling is a controversial topic because many people believe in this is true or that is just lies. I don't know if believe or not believe in fortune telling because many times I was surprised for something that predict a person. But other times I don't believe in them. So I really don't known what think about this topic.

- What is your opinion about women in the military?

I am agree with women in the military because I think that everybody should be accomplish their dreams and if a woman wants to be a military or whatever she can be. And I think that the fact that the women were be included in activities that before was be just for men its a big step for the humanity because the respect is one of the things more important. 

My life

My name is Irene Barraza López. I was born in Illapel, Chile. My birthday is on January fourteen.  I studied all my life at Colegio Santa Teresa de Jesús, for a time of fourteen years.

Now I live in Santiago with my cousin, her boyfriend and her little son. My parents live in Illapel with my pets. I am only child, sometimes that I like it but other times I would like to have sisters or brothers.

I like to spend time with my friends and family, specially now that I am so far away from them. I am a very lazy person, so I like to watch movies and series, lying down in my bed. When I was younger I played football and tennis as hobby, but now I just play sometimes. 

Also I like to enjoy nature, especially the beach or the country. And I like to go for a walk with my dogs.
