EDITORIAL

There are a lot of ways on how to relax and have funsome time. If you do this often, they are called hobby.This could be a sport, singing, dancing or evenreading. However, some of this activities could beexpensive and/or dangerous like racing, shootingguns, climbing and free falling.

One of my hobbies is flying Radio Controlledairplanes. These are little airplanes made of plastic,wood and foam that works with a combustion engineor an electric motor. These airplanes are controlled bya remote control with two sticks, one is used toaccelerate and moving the stabilizer (the verticalwing). The other stick is used to move the ailerons andthe elevator.

Unfortunately this hobby is a bit expensive andthere are very high probabilities to crash the airplane.The cost depends, its like buying a car, if you want aluxury one or the best motor, the size and othercomponents

WITH GUILLERMO CHEANG

1. How hard is computer science in college?

• look, everybody is going to start from zero, but it will be easierfor science students from cetys, because they should havebegun programing since their last year of high school. the beststudent that I have now, is from fourth semester, which is myfavorite student too. he didn’t know anything about programingwhen he started school, he later became the most talented.

2. Does the congenital condition affect in this career?

• I don’t think so, because the main key of the programdevelopment, the logic is developable, why don’t you talkabout this career and math? basically, they’re very similar, bothmake you to think about the next step, they just ask you, “whatnext?”

3. Would you like to talk about your student life, what did youused to do?

• when I was younger, I was very busy. due to family difficulties, Iused to work in three different places every day after school,so, I must finish all the homework and study while I was inschool, because I won’t have time to do that later. honestly, itwasn’t simple, but my grades were very good.

8

4. What do you like to tell to high school graduates to help themmake decisions?

• do what you love, be selfish, don’t worry too much. many of uslike to repay or parents, is normal, that we do what our parentswant us to do, but don’t do that blindly. because being proud oftheir son, is more meaningful that getting money even thoughthey need that.

5. Will there be more jobs for computer science engineer?

• of course it will. now, the problem is lack of talent, is you’regood, you don’t have to worry about the job, job will find you.like a friend of mine, she was very poor and her father was ataxi driver. but she’s very intelligent and talented, so, a company ofUS found her and employed her.

BLINDNESS

The book Blindness was written by Jose Saramago and

published un English version in 1997. Its original title is “Ensaio

sobre la ceguera”. This book want to show how a rotten society

acts, and what do they do to survive a blindness epidemic.

The author has a characteristic way to write because all the

characters that are involve in the book doesn't have a name, the

author describes what they do and with external characteristics

that he mention you as a reader can know which one is. For

example one of the characters is a doctor. Saramago describes

how do people live in a situation in which nobody can see except

doctor's wife. She has an important role because she deal with

all problems and help the others to do the activities that they

want.

21

The plot od the book is that all humans are getting blind because

an unexpected reason that no one can explain, so all people

began to be scare because they want to be safe and secure of

the epidemic. The disease can not be analyze by the doctors

because it was something new because it describe as a white

blindness. All the people were in conflict because they want to

organize their activities but it was very difficult to have control,

move and act when you have a white blindness. The characters

describes the blindness as a “mil blindness” because they say

that it was like being in a bottle of milk.

From my point of view the book was very easy to read because it

describes a lot the places where they are, because you have to

imagine how the characters feel. You can imagine how they live

and how they deal with a lot of problems such as who was going

to be in charge and how do food will be rationed. The way the

author writes this book us very unique because the paragraphs

are very long so if you are like the readers who read by points ,

you will need a lot of focus so you don’t loose the main idea of

the paragraph.

22

Mostly all of the people see the final of the book very bad, or with

not much sense. A lot of readers expect to have more dramatic

ending or more explained, because the story tend to the end in

only one page. From my point of view the final of the book will be

better if the last 3 pages do not exist, because in that part is the

most interesting because is when all actions were coming back

to normality.

NOKIA LUMIA 505!

As a personal user of the Lumia 505, I would give it 3 starsTOPS, on a good day. The 4GB of memory become lessthan 2 GB, and you can’t have a lot of music in there. Ifyou take a video, you must upload it to your Zune assoon as possible, otherwise, you won’t be able to accesssome of the apps. The Marketplace is lacking in theamount of apps available. The fact that it doesn’t havea flash makes the 8-megapixel camera sort of worthless.

The only few good things are the Office, where you canstart Word documents, Excel worksheets or PowerPointpresentations. The email app is also very good. You canhave multiple mail accounts all in one, and it will syncevery time you get a new email. The Zune player looksreally good, and it’s easy to use.

• The way the book is write it is very good, because when you read

be read by teenagers or kids so they can have an open mind and

be more active in terms of economy.

CETYS

• 1st Semester: At the start of school, I felt distrust and insecurity because of teachers in middle school had raised in my mind that high school would be a stage of my life in which I would struggle. Over time, I was realizing that school was not difficult, the key was to do homework and put some attention in class to solve the exams and that’s how you could survive in Cetysthrough the semester. The first semester or first six months were one of the most complex for me, because I had to adapt on how the grading for each teacher was and not only that, but I had to learn to live with the pressure of having several exams every two weeks. But like everything, first semester was a great experience, and I had the opportunity to make new friends and create unforgettable experiences.

• 2nd Semester: In this semester, I was able to create more friendships and live more with different people, due to fact that the classroom was all mixed and many were not the same. As for the subjects and teachers, this semester was the easiest, the materials were very simple and dynamic. Teachers were very nice and bright, perhaps one of the best experiences in Cetys. I lived for the first time the famous "week of values" and made several activities which include, dances, food stalls, exhibitions and plays performed by teachers. This semester is claimed to be the most easy and fun, and as a matter of fact it is the easiest and funniest of all six.

26

• 3rd Semester: I describe this semester with two simple words, "the best". This semester was far unmatched and unforgettable, great friendships were formed, irreplaceable memories and in general it was perfect. The teachers were the best. Everyone did their job and each was special in their own way, you could see the love for the students and not only that, the subjects were difficult because of their content, but they made them easy and understandable. At the end of the semester, we were separated but remained friends, we usually meet once every two months to have fun and talk about our personal lives and what we have gone in to.

• 4th semester: Ordinary semester, but a bit different, quiet dynamic. This semester we had different activities as an example, we helped a community of fewer opportunities. The semester was difficult in general, teachers did not help but made it worst, I did not complete my goal, but I ended with an average of over nine. Friendships were the same. Usually, the entire school by now was known and it was nothing new to be with people who had not been with you in past classrooms, because they already knew who was who because of generation parties, potlucks, among others.

27

• 5th semester: First six months of the physics –mathematician package, basically unforgettable. This group was composed of 28 men and 5 women, all got along very well and even companies were formed of young entrepreneurs. The companies were successful, some kind of laborious, but in terms of effective teaching. We learned to create a company from scratch and not only that, we also generated sales revenue. The semester was heavy due to differential calculus and programming matters but I achieved my goal, which was end up with an average of nine or more.

• 6th semester: by far this semester has been very fun and kind of weird. It has been kind of weird because I have not felt that it’s my last, we as a generation have had parties, and have become more united, but we all know we have a time limit. As a far as academics it has been all normal. We have normal subjects and normal teachers, we by now know everyone including teachers and their kind of grading. I expect this two last months to be fun and entertaining, and most of all I hope we as a generation have a great time in Cancun!

In the run-up to the 2008 Beijing Olympics, unrestbroke out in Tibet in anticipation of mediaattention and increased repression by theChinese government. The Dalai Lama pleadedfor calm and condemned Chinese violence. Thiswas met with frustration by many in Tibet, whoconsidered his comments ineffective, andallegations by the Chinese that the Dalai Lamaincited the violence—an accusation that hestrongly denies. On March 10, 2011, on the 52ndanniversary of his exile from Tibet, the DalaiLama announced that he would give up his roleas Tibet's political leader.

WHY IPHONE 4S IS BETTER THAN IPHONE 4

• Have you ever tried to figure out which iphone is better for you and your needs? Well after reading this short essay you will quickly answer your own question, which one is better for me? Iphone’s have been for years the best cell phone in the market, because of its small and compact size, its big and tough memory and most of all because of its fame and popularity. However if you are a business man and music, speed and cyber goodies aren’t your thing, you might want to sit tight because this essay might interest you as well!

•

• Iphone for a long time has been in the top five cell phones, because of its speed, goodies, smartness and capacity. However, Apple in California has a made a promise between them which is, remaking their own “I devices” annually. Through this last years we have had several iphone’s, which have come in different sizes, shapes and colors. But in this specific last year we had the one that we thought was going to be the best Iphone 4, this iphone was fast, strong, sleek, and with some bold and sharp design, it was sure the most amazing phone out there.

37

• As the year went by Apple announced the new iphoneversion which was the “4s”, this model was going to overcome its predecessor and outcome every single phone out there, with its new A5 chip. And as Steve Jobs said, it was done. Iphone 4s, was and up to three months ago it was the most amazing phone. However, if you’re not rich and don’t have the money to be throwing it away, you might want to look for some used iphone 4s and get the juice out of it.

• Now if your question is, which iphone suits me best? Well that’s simple, if you are between the ages 16 to 24 you might want to update yourself to the new and powerful iphone 4s, because of its processing chip, retina display and its overall power. It might not be that cheap as an Iphone 4, but hell yeah it will meet your expectations!

• Nevertheless, if your main goal or worry is not technology, processing components, retina display, accessories and other stuff, you might want to get the old iphone 4, which will give you a good service, and will meet your own expectations. Although you might want to double think that because the price range is about 100 dollars more for the new model, and saving that extra money for that extra difference is very worth it!

THE DEATH PAUL MCCARTNEY

“Paul is dead” is an urban legend suggesting that Paul McCartney of theEnglish rock band The Beatles died in 1966 and was secretly replaced by alook-alike. After 1969, people started to publish articles claiming that clues toPaul’s death could be found in the covers of the albums and in the lyrics ofsome songs after 1966.

It was a rumor that McCartney had been killed in a car accident inLondon 1966. Some clues are found playing some songs backwards, like“Revolution 9”, it said “turn me on dead man”. In the song “Strawberry fieldsForever” in the final section, John Lennon spoke the words “I buried Paul”.Later, Paul revealed the words were actually “cranberry sauce”. The questionis Why keeping it a secret? Well maybe because at the time they were gettingridiculously famous and they didn’t want a dead member. That’s why thegroup supposedly “hired” a guy that look-alike, sang and had the samepersonality of Paul.

Another big clue is in the cover art of the album Abbey Road, whereLennon, dressed in white, symbolizes a heavenly figure. Ringo Starr, dressedblack, symbolizes the undertaker. George Harrison in blue jeans and a shirt,representing the gravedigger and McCartney with no shoes which means he isthe corpse.

In the song “A day in the life” the lyrics are: “I read the news today,oh boy, about a lucky man who made a grade… he blew his mind out in acar. He didn’t notice that the lights had changed”-1967, another clue to thePaul death hoax. Are the clues just coincidental? The much better questionwho is really behind the story. It’s a big puzzle. Maybe it’s true, or everyone elsehas wasted time finding it out.

If the “real” Paul is dead, then his imposter is still an amazing artist anda good man. He married Linda Eastman, with whom he had four childrenbefore losing her to breast cancer in 1998.

• So the customer asked him, -How about this guy, what canhe do that makes him so expensive?

- Well, apart from talking, he can also do some amusingactions, like dancing. So, that’s why he’s so expensive. Theowner said.

LINCOLN AND KENNEDY

There is a strange and creepy relation between Abraham Lincolnand John F. Kenney. First, both names have seven letters; Lincolnwas elected in congress in 1846 and Kennedy was elected incongress in 1946. This gets more interesting, Abraham Lincoln waselected president of the US in 1860 and John F. Kennedy in 1960.Lincoln’s secretary was named Kennedy, and guess what,Kennedy’s secretary was named Lincoln.

Lincoln’s assassinator was born in 1839, while JKF was bornin 1939. This gets better, Lincoln was shot in a theatre and his killerran from there to a warehouse and was caught there. Kennedywas shot in car named Lincoln and his killer ran from a warehouseand was caught in a theatre. Both presidents were shot in thehead on Friday. The best part is that Lincoln was in Monroe,Maryland a week before he was killed. A week before Kennedy’sassassination, he was with Marilyn Monroe.

All of these facts may be related to a conspiracy againstthis two great presidents, probably the Illuminati. On the otherhand, it could be just coincidence like the dates, but the eventsare very similar so there's must be an explanation. One possiblereason can be that the political parties had something in disagree.Facts concerning the assassination of Abraham Lincoln and JohnF. Kennedy are amazingly similar. It is uncertain if such coincidenceshave any meaning, but the certainly are strange.

HOW ABOUT YOU?

• If some one ask me about my childhood, I’ll rememberhow awkward I was, because I was literally a “cry baby”,okay, I think I’m. But besides cry, I can remember my supersoup made of lettuce, soy sauce, ketchup, apple, orange,pear and many other things that I could find in my house. Ijust collected the “ingredients” and put them all into a littlebucket of mine. The first day, it smelled like soy sauce,second day, it smelled like seafood, and then, my soup justdisappeared mysteriously.

• Also, the famous “mom’s laws”, they’re so impressive,are kind of superstitions made of my mother. She said, ghostwill visit me, if I remove leg hair; I’ll grow a watermelon in mystomach if I eat a watermelon seed; fleas will grow in myhead if I get wet in the rain; children that don’t go home atnight, their house will disappear; and many others “law” thatI used to follow . But unbelievably, I believed them all when Iwas younger. Now, I think they’re silly, but the sillier was me. Inever get angry after I discovered that they’re not true, mymom just invented, because she made them for me, she didthat for my good.

• I will always remember the days of my childhood. How Iwish I could be as carefree and curious as a child onceagain, and relive those happy days!

TECHNOLOGY IN OUR DAILY LIFE

Hypothesis: The problem is the excessive use of electricaldevices, such as iPods and smartphones. It can damage our eyesight and causes headaches. This contributes to causedistraction and lack of concentration.

Justification: We are presenting this research being a globalproblem that leads from past years to grow without limits.

When a person hears about technology, the first thingthat comes to his mind are positive developments that makehuman life easier. This investigation will research the power oftechnology in humans. We want to inform people sot hey arealways aware that overuse or abuse of this is harmful in manyways. The radiation they produce is a serious problem which willbe discussed throughout the investigation to gather information.

A company that innovates it’s way to manufacturemachines need less staff, so there's more profit to the ownerhimself and growing unemployment. That’s why there are morecareers dedicated to build more technology in the future. Themanufacture of electronic devices are polluting our environmentdue to the materials and substances used. Since the market isbased on the sale of all these electronics, nobody cares more ofpolluting than the money they earn. Televisions and computerswith new technology makes the old ones look obsolete andmarketing the new ones makes the people always wantingmore. The old devices do not disappear by the act of magic,that become garbage or recycling components.
