El Cantante


El cantante is a movie about a singer in the 70's. The name of the singer was Hector Lavoe. The movie presents the life of the singer and how he deals with a lot problems. Hector had problems with alcohol, drugs and marriage. He came to U.S and became very popular. Actually, he sang latin music. Hector made new kind of music and he was very popular with salsa. But his popularity was bad for him because he found drugs, and alcohol. One of the biggest dissaster for him was the dead of his son. He never could forget him and it was very painful for him. After a lot problems he also tried to kill himself but he survided. Then, he knew that he had AIDS. He died after his long fight with this terrible disease.



In my opinion, this movie was good and I recomend for the people who like latin music. Marc Antonny is a great singer and he sings really good. I liked the music of the movie. Some people didn't like but I didn't know Hector Lavoe. I learned who is this singer and he was very important for Puerto Rico.

Some scientists found that they can replicate cells in the human body without taking from embryos. They initiated a research with nice. These cells are similar with the human body. However there are some problems. First, these cells are difficult to find because are mixed with other cells. Scientists said that the cells are found with a protein and it is called GPR125. This is easer way the find them from a very complicated mixture. In addition, there are other considerations. The most important is do they work in human cells? Scientists are looking for more answers to this research. For the moment they are finding out if this research can really help people.

ipods,iphones and what is next? apparently there will be a new invention. The icar which is the new idea from Volkswagen and Apple. They are discussing about making a compact car with Apple products. For the moment, there aren't more detail about this new creation but many people are expecting the icar.

Why are so many Quakes Jarring Indonesia?


There were a dozens of earthquakes over the past two day in Indonesia. Actually, there were three big earthquakes and people are alerted for warning of tsunamis. what causes these earthquake? a profesional explained the cause of them. The big earthquake that happen on thursday was caused by the movements of two plates. The Australia plate which moves 2 inches every year to north east and the island sumatra collide with another plate. As a result , this causes a lot strees which can't stand for long time so the effect is the earthquake. After a big quake is very common to expect more earthquakes. For the moment, the earthquakes has left 10 deads and 100 injuries.

In my opinion, this is very bad news and I hope everything goes okay in Indonesia. I had bad experiencies with earthquakes. My country had one big earthquake in 2001. It was really bad experience and many people died. It is very curious that after that 2001 earthquake there have been more small seismic activity. People always feel some one once in a while. There are very common in my country.

I think Pavarotti had aunique voice and he was a great performance. his talent was authemtic and he was a great opera singer. Pavarotti also gave a lot concerts for good causes so he helped people without recieved something in exchange.
