MIDWIVES, A TASK FROM THE LOVE

Special thanks to Maria Vergara, El Bolson - Argentina, for sharing great aspects of his experience as a midwife and, through its reaffirmation experience significant changes as has been noted in the younger generation!

female energy in action and co-relation. MIDWIVES
, a task from the LOVE TOUR THROUGH THE HEART!

"For thousands of years, long before there were doctors or hospitals, midwives have been helping women stay healthy, helping babies be born and helping families grow. If a woman asks him why he prefers care from a midwife, she will tell you that midwives know much, have patience and respect the traditions of women. "
(Quote of the text" A book for midwives. Care of pregnancy, childbirth and women's health ") (Susan Klein, Suellen Miller and Fiona Thomson. A book for midwives. Care of pregnancy, childbirth and health of women. First published in English, February 2007. Copyright © The Hesperian Foundation, 2007. Berkeley, California, p.12. Download text

WHO (World Health Organization: Article Dr. Carlos Castellanos Torres. The role of midwives in our society. WHO, February 8, 2009. ) defines traditional midwives as: ... a person (usually a woman) who assists the mother during childbirth and who initially acquired her skills herself attending their deliveries or working with other midwives, but should include providing basic care to mothers during the normal cycle of maternity care the newborn, the distribution of modern family planning methods and intervention in other activities of primary health care, including identification and referral of high risk.

traditional midwives in our community meet three basic functions, they focus on the role they play within their community.

affective relationship

The first one is based on the relationship that the midwife provides to pregnant women, which creates trust in them because they perceive it close and familiar, this leads to reduced anxiety in parturient, unlike that occurs institutionalized for medical services.
The second function is derived from the knowledge that is the midwife of the needs and economic needs of women who need your service, coupled with their own traditions of practice, which leads to a significant reduction in costs for the family.

The third function is based on the support received from midwives for housework and childcare.

These three functions together with the lack of services, traditional birth attendants make a human resource high demand, especially in rural communities.

acknowledge the importance of working as played by these people in our societies, making it necessary to pursue a culture of inclusion and respect for these popular practices and cultural processes in which they participate.

Now, prepare ourselves to be delighted with the wonderful experience of Mary. I'm Maria Vergara

, mother of 5 children between 30 and 10 years (Fermin, Sarah Sophia, Pedro León, Miguel Angel and Juana Catalina (biological) children of the heart more !!!), live in the mountains of Patagonia , El Bolson, Black River, Argentina.

accompany births for 28 years, I have empirical doula and apprentice midwife (alumna of the school community midwives Cordoba, Argentina) and I wonder to see how the babies have changed during these 30 years of observing ...

Babies are born more alert

Babies are born more alert, more attentive, his eyes looking all big guys!

prioritize births in immediate contact with his mother and then put the baby on the breast, there recognizes the voice of the mother and father, and makes eye contact with a penetrating gaze and communicative ...
accompany
a partner during pregnancy, so I know my voice and singing especially in meetings and during childbirth as well, and often it happens that I talk to baby thanking the beautiful birth that we have experienced and the smiles! I feel I have an understanding and connection capacity are well developed.

pregnancy Already we see that the baby has a connection and interaction not only with the mother but with the rest of the people that accompany pregnancy ...

With father and brothers especially responsive to stimuli. If you speak to the belly or sing or when they get home after school or work, happy to kick babies arrival! Healthy Eating



With regard to food of the mother during pregnancy have found that these babies in any way influence the type and even food habits of the mother. These stop unhealthy habits such as snuff, alcohol, etc.. Require a healthier diet richer in fruits and vegetables, cereals and grains. Even these babies after birth, they begin to eat, they still prefer this type of food!

I have also observed children who are vegetarian by choice even if the family does not have this habit, simply leave out the meat and choose those that prefer to eat.

are very active baby

babies are very active, very alert, and do not need much sleep and require much interaction with the mother. They take great tit, very often (every hour and a half two hours) and sometimes gain weight over 2 kilos in the first month of life!

Often this demand runs to new mothers, so we recommend resting with the baby in the moments when he sleeps, and ask for help, leaving aside the model of "nuclear family" (father / mother / child s) and allow the family (grandparents, aunts / os, etc.) relative or friend help you in parenting.

There is a very strong energy requirements of these babies, it's part of their food and drink are usually a highly developed immune system and are very healthy when mothers are devoted to them. These babies know what they need and request it! Need to be much in arms headgear, pampered, sleeping with their parents or with his mother, and parents often move over time to another bed to sleep all more comfortable.

need to be much in her arms, touched, coddled, they sleep with their parents or their mother.

We have always been generational changes, and wonderful when we are in a breeding group, where mothers and fathers share the experiences, as the evidence of all match! It is very necessary

found in these groups to realize the trend of the new baby, and realize that they are well and we have to adapt to what they need. Follow your intuition


often
when raising my children I was with older people who could suggest. They said, "do not have it both arms because they spoiled !!!"," do not sleep with them because they take them out of bed more "!!!, are tyrants, dictators, etc ... thank

be an eternal rebellious and have followed my instinct, I thank my children have had a lot in her arms, giving them much tit, to more than 2 years, sleeping with them to large, if any servant in nature, have dedicated my life to raising and have chosen as college, career and professional life with them, growing and learning together. I see that they are now very independent people, self-taught, insurance, valuable tools to live life! (El Bolson, 12.13.1910, e-mail. Mariamallin@elbolson.com)

Thank you Mary for sharing such a beautiful experience of life!

As we are becoming more and more people witness the great changes that are manifesting more strongly in future generations and we invite an urgent way to delve with hope, anticipation and a deep love in recognition of new strategies and ways of life that allow us to accompany and guide more assertive.

Re-tie Your Moccasins

Sometimes I think the hardware manufacturers tease us

When connecting an external hard disk to our brand new desktop or laptop: Apple gets to sell the bike FireWire 800 connector is "Nosecuantos" faster than USB2. Reached by other manufacturers and we sell the bike with the USB 3.0 connector. Of course find a FireWire 800 hard drive or USB 3.0 is to spend more budget for a USB 2.0 drive.

Yet there is a cheaper and faster solution, in terms of price should actually be cheaper than the box where van USB2.0 external drives. It is simply E-SATA, which is neither more nor less than a SATA connector has been changed a bit so it does not deteriorate after plugging and unplugging a few times. As power level is only one SATA connector, it is cheaper because there is no need to convert the SATA hard drive using the external connector (USB2, or FireWire 800 USB3). And it's faster, regardless of bandwidth that SATA has over other technologies, because if the connector between the adapter and the SATA disk is hardly the adapter will give more velocity. The only way to get the theoretical bandwidth of a USB 3.0 hard drive is a SATA 3.0 (SATA 6 GB) and officially but eSATA is up to 3GB, manufacturers like ASUS eSATA connectors ensure your work with 6 GB. The same applies to future improvements Firewire: no one is misled, regardless of the difficulty of making hard drives take advantage of a bandwidth greater than 3GB (especially in the case of 2.5, which spin at lower RPM) , will plug SATA or SCSI, no FireWire or USB directly.

One problem with the old E-SATA connectors is that unlike USB or Firewire not include power to feed a disc of 2.5. That changed long ago, now most of the E-SATA ports are both USB 2.0 ports and include current ( eSATAp ). On computers where it is not possible and E-SATA port is the former, it is not big problem because there are cables that take power from another USB port.

As E-SATA connectors can go on the same USB 2.0 port with eSATAp solution, no problem of space and if a manufacturer like Apple is not included, simply because he does not feel like it (in the case Apple is bleeding who also have a patent related to e-sata since 2007). Anecdotally, my Dell laptop that has two years includes one but I did not realize until weeks after buying it because Dell did not say anything surprising in the specifications and spent a few days until I noticed that next to a USB connector as well as USB logo was written "e-sata. To think how cheap it would go to a vendor as a USB Apple replace a eSATAp, ie a port that can operate alternately as e-SATA or USB powered, instead of forcing users to buy cards expresscard, a solution only available for powerbook, desktop users have no choice but to give them by yourself.

As further evidence of how cheap it is to use E-SATA connectors, a link from DealExtreme, where for just over EUR 7, we have both an adapter to convert an internal SATA port E-SATA power (contrary to what the description says, there is also a USB port), and a cable to a disk Hard 2.5, which at the other end is a E-SATA cable (which requires a E-SATA port powered):
usb-esata-to-sata-converter-adapter-for-2-5-hdd-39 621 . Notice that I have not tried it ;-).

In the shop there more versatile solutions, such as wires that are E-SATA power but can also have a USB port, boxes that support both USB 2.0 and E-SATA or having a port adapters eSATAp ..

And yes, I know that both USB and Firewire support cables longer than E-SATA and Firewire allows advanced features like riding a cheap cluster because a disk can simultaneously connect to multiple computers, but most people E-SATA connector would cheaper to them.

best of haute couture p / v 2011

Usieto Ana told me, quite rightly, that she used to write reviews of bridges because they do not see enough prepared. "I know what I like and what not, but I am able to go much further," he said. I give the reason.

I'd be able to write critical bridges such as those made Jesús María Fernández Montes-Yo Dona Eugenia or the Torriente to El Pais, Paris go from one side to another parade parade person and appreciate the hard work that leads to sew a couture gown. Maybe someday ...

the moment, and without pretense, I show three couture collections for spring summer 2011 that I really liked: Chanel, Christian Dior and Elie Saab . Anyway, I have to say, in my humble opinion, the level has been quite high.
My favorite collection, no doubt, has been to Elie Saab. As usual, the Lebanese designer has introduced a line of clothing designed to shine on the red carpet. Most of them are long, long, and they highlight the lace and embroidery. As for colors, we nude, blue, red, green and black.





parade For Dior, John Galliano was inspired in French illustrator René Gruau , which has given a painterly touch to your collection. On a red bridge, we saw models with lady-style suits, pencil skirts, high-volume, tulle and red tones, vanilla, roses, blue or green.





To Chanel, Karl Lagerfeld has created a collection delicate, precious for my taste. Dusty shades, glitter, ballet dancers airs ... and jeans!





What couture collection you like the most?

Happy weekend!

Can I Play Pokemon On The Wii

Why Kindle (or why not) (and II)

why I commented to my goal of reading more had opted for an electronic book reader and what advantages over a tablet saw. There remained to explain why the Kindle bet against other players.

The strength of the Kindle is that it is a good hardware (especially the screen) for a lower price than any other device with ink electronics. I guess most people you have left with this, especially considering that until his rivals not update also boasts a Kindle electronic ink with better contrast and response time.

Okay, do not rush to buy one yet. There are also points of contention that must be evaluated calmly before deciding on the Kindle. Amazon has made a reader for his book store and has both a DRM ebook format different from the other (the standard is EPUB eBook, while Kindle uses a pair of proprietary formats.)

an anecdotal level, incompatible with the DRM it is up to www.mobipocket.com another store Amazon e-book that has some books and dictionaries are not available on amazon.com. The "rarity" of this incompatibility is that Amazon after buying mobipocket file format used to develop the Kindle, but in the case of DRM has been deliberately making minimal changes incompatible with no other purpose.

Amazon Books purchased with DRM can only be read on the Kindle and Amazon's software (which is to Android, Windows, MacOSX and IOS, but be aware that the software is more limited and for example not allows searches in a dictionary). In any case, all these books will be lost if you migrate to another device ink e than the Kindle. Technically that is formatted mobipocket AZW or reuse may be using a program that will remove the DRM, but it would be illegal (both the fact of having a tool that removes the DRM license for violating the use of books).

This does not mean that you can only read Kindle books purchased from Amazon, anyone can convert a mobipocket book, one of the formats of the Kindle, for example using Calibre, which is free software, or a free service from Amazon . Indeed, ironically, while Amazon's conversion service does not support EPUB files, free tool that Amazon has created for the authors to convert their books Kindle format and sell them in your store, what it does is to import files into HTML or making a surprise! EPUB format.

Once converted the book, which recognizes the Kindle is as simple as using the USB port: you can ride like a pen drive with 3GB, there is a folder for books or use your own caliber. It is also possible to download a website using the wireless.

But books can only be converted with no DRM: most books are sold DRM. This is a problem for those who want to buy books in English: Amazon's catalog is very poor in our language, but English publishers and bookstores like FNAC, Casa del Libro or just sell books Corte Inglés Adobe DRM (and Amazon does not support more DRM than yours).

The issue of DRM has a lot of "chicha" and would comment on this post along with other items. But I hesitate to say that for me the whole story of DRM was a reason for that against the Kindle, though it sounds absurd.

The reason is rather an anarchist. The DRM, as well as being totally ineffective, is a problem and when you see more clearly that it is a problem before they burst. Instead everything that contributes to soften some of the problems of DRM will keep alive the dying. One of the practical problems of DRM is the tower of Babel between DRMs (B & N Amazon, Apple, they all use incompatible DRM, which means that a person if you change your reader loses his books). However, at present this would appear to change, because most players support at least Adobe DRM. As Kindle does not support this DRM "Esperanto", the more people have the Kindle, will be more evident the problems of DRM and the Tower of Babel.

is perfectly feasible to sell books without DRM (like going over to the MP3) and O'Reilly made some sellers as they do now. For sellers have the advantage of selling books for the Kindle without using the Amazon store and lose between 30 and 65% of the price and also sell power to other devices without having to pay for each sale at Adobe. For the buyer to purchase without DRM is to know that can change the device and keep the books, without further formality than anything else to do a format conversion.

Amazon allows the seller to choose between using DRM or not (although it seems that does not give the same freedom with mobi, but the buyer should also know when a book has DRM or format TOPAZ (a few books from Amazon, can be found, using this format is harder to convert). Also Amazon should drop the nonsense of "license" the books does not matter whether a physical or electronic copy, the buyer should have the same rights, which are basically doing what he pleases with it least make copies and distribute.

Another point to look for Amazon's privacy: the user can control exactly what information is transferred to Amazon. And the promise that in no case be transferred anything relating to content not from the Amazon store (eg a book purchased from O'Reilly and transferred by USB).

Abate

can you not make your mouth water to see this?


It complements the Fold, a young online accessories firm which looks (this is what I want) a promising future. And is that Ana designs Vals -the architect of the brand, have been climbing in the ranking of the most sought after by fashionistas, the combine originality, freshness and sophistication - is there anything more chic than wearing a ring shaped of macaron? -.


Stylist profession, this Madrid decided to dig deep into the world of design-ins helped by her sister Martha. And so emerged Fold and all those accessories and tasteful gourmet just click on their images.


Although he had several months following the firm's work, it was not until September when I decided to buy something . Why? Fifteen my sister's birthday small. As you know I've been to Erasmus could not give the gift personally, so I thought why not send it directly online and receive at home? And so began my relationship to Fold .


After a while looked and looked again over designs Abate "sweet" , I decided on these outstanding grapefruit and this cupcake pendant.


As you can imagine, my sister loved him. But it was not there ... because Anna had to give me the details of these earrings melon. Are not they cute?


also ordering is easy and fast . Just visit their website , choose the accessories and buy button. The payment method is shown by default PayPal. I tried ... but could not be ... I'm still a little dunce for this to buy online ... So I requested that I send him cash on delivery and arrived without any problems.





Thanks again for everything, Ann!

What do you think your designs?

Happy Wednesday!

How A Dunk Tank Works

Sinde law and these political fools

momentarily interrupt the series on the Kindle to show my anger by lower PP and CiU pants. ZP can be happy, because now people are angry also with the alternative government and not just his government. For the PSOE the play of the law Sinde has gone badly: her popularity was already on the ground, so this would not affect them much, but now there is one fan handing over was crap and CiU and PP who have power switch them by themselves. Mira

PP and CiU had it easy to stay out of this mud: things are made with the reform of intellectual property law that already is not working and making shortcuts that jeopardize the legal certainty and also good for nothing. The PNV was more clever in its argument in rejecting the Congress. The law that emerged may be harder or not it is with the theme of the downloads, but it has to be well founded and not backroom got to be something to please the lobbies.

Positively, great act of dignity of Alex de la Iglesia with his intention to resign and I agree with him was inappropriate to make a stunt and torpedo the gala Goya (which incidentally under management has now be a gala that there are people you see.) Having a sense of opportunity and the grace and knowledge without being loud protest is something that abounds little among his peers. Elegance and dominion was not something I expected from someone with the thug's filmography Alex de la Iglesia, but the fact is that in his career as director of the Film Academy this was not an isolated incident, deserves praise his work and attitude correct and conciliatory.

The case is to close sites will not solve the problem. If these sites do something illegal, which will stop doing the other not be closing, but to punish those responsible. And that is done with the laws and justice system. It's like taking a law to cut the phone to a charge of threatening calls to be doing, rather than an indictment, or there is slander or not. The industry talks about the millions of advertising revenues is that true or a hoax? Because if you really entering million advertising know anything about this in Finance right?

try to make up the law saying that now requires a judge. Lords of PP and CiU, the question is not what has improved from one version to another, but what the law changes regarding the current situation. Others have already highlighted some dangerous changes and possible collisions with the Constitution. I just reported on two things are probably not serious but enough to piss me off me as a taxpayer concerned about the smooth running of the Administration of Justice:
  • body is created under the control of government is mediating, when they should be complainants who are responsible directly to go to the judges. Why is this agency to pay public money to amedentrar, especially the provider? Why industry Entertainment need an intermediary, for his claims, as have lawyers, and ordinary citizens instead of any matter with the law do not have these intermediaries and have to pay us a lawyer? Is this not discriminatory, disproportionate and absurd?
  • is assigned to the National Court and are given very short deadlines. Why are other issues with the law, for example, someone who does not pay and need the money to turn your mortgage, let alone for more serious matters of criminal justice (detention of someone who does not know whether he is guilty or the alleged offender on the street while waiting) is not imposed by law just short deadlines and a trial court directly direct? If it is about money and agility, no discrimination on the one thing I do not think it's more of a priority. If for guarantees for the defense of the accused, should be the same here.

Why the Kindle (I)

I
I leave, another post in my blog ... It must be the cleansing effect of reading more :-) Today I

the issue of Kindle. When I bought the Kindle, I was thinking a bit before if not better option a tablet: it can also be used to read and also for other things sive. If someone raises the same, some ideas:
  • Want primarily an electronic book reader or want primarily a device for browsing, viewing photos, movies ...? if the book is secondary, if you're going to spend only a ratillo to read, a tablet can be your best choice. Make no mistake: if you want to force you to read and less Internet, possibly with the tablet you take humpback ;-). Here, I quote a snippet from my friend Luis Daniel Gonzalez in an article for the agency Aceprensa:

    A discussion of e-readers is whether, in the future, the better an apparatus or a multifunctional device for everything. I do not think there is a net response but if I go by what I know, I think he says he likes a device for watching movies and listening to songs and read books, done essentially the first two things and rarely the third. Say nothing if the device can read magazines, go to YouTube, check my email, enter social networking, entertainment video games, etc. And give me convulsions of laughter that arises that a device with all the possibilities, as the recent iPad, you can take to class with books loaded ... In short, who is a reader wants to read, and knows that reading takes time and needs calm: that seems to be the Amazon Kindle bet on the basis of statements of its executives, who see an advantage in its limitations.


  • There are people you can read hours LCD screen without problems, good for them, but make sure that's the case. Yes, I can spend a lot of hours in front of the screen without my eyes sting, but still, after hours of work and I spend several days looking at other things gift, pleasure, I prefer the electronic ink. Until I read with electronic ink do not know what you're missing.
  • tablet
  • What are you going to buy? because one size iPad is not the most comfortable to read novels (although better than the Kindle 3G/WiFi for PDFs that are not readily convertible into ebook format, comics and art books, for example, although to read a little while, you may not compensate for a tablet and you go to account go to your laptop, netbook or desktop). As for smaller tablets, tend to have 16:9 aspect ratio instead of 4:3 (which is much better for videos, to taste at the time of sailing and running applications, but worse for books and much worse for photos). And if you're determined and inches aspect ratio is not clear to you that want a tablet, ergo do not need it:-D
  • I'm not very fond of reading outdoors, but if you you are, forget about the tablet . The fatal LCDs are read in bright light. A case a bit silly but I've experienced today: if you take advantage of reading in street a few minutes while waiting for someone and it's cold, you'll appreciate to turn pages with gloves ;-).
  • The battery in the reader ebooks is unmatched, hard lot, but in all honesty for me this was not a determining factor and I think for many people either. For someone to make long trips, it can be.
  • reader ebooks
  • only good for one thing, but does so incredibly well. Press the button on the pileup and exit the book to the page you will come to you without doing anything else, it takes about a second.
also weighs in my case there are already house an ancient tablet-pc and it really attract me much though, none of the current tablets fills my expectations. That gives to another post (and this blog seems "The Neverending Story" ;-)).

anyone not want to sell ebooks readers not knowing where he hits. Have clear that they are for novels or text content are (are not the original pages but the text fits the screen size and font of choice): a PDF without turning is a nightmare to read, because it looks too small and zoom is not the same as with a tablet or PC. Also do not expect to find in electronic form as in the bookstore and in some cases it may be necessary to convert formats and it is not always optimal.

The following article of the series: once decided tablet e-book, why I went for the Kindle if it is the least committed to the standard? And another reminder for boaters: the Kindle is more complicated to buy current books in English with other readers.

Free Four Seasons Sheet Music

the controversy of the earpiece My gift of kings

Well, I decided that I will heed my president, and obviously I do not mean this or this , but someone who deserves a little more consideration ;-). So I'll write this year a little more on the blog ... The next entry of truth which I return to the Kindle, but today it's another thing.

This week has been highly critical of the issue of the use of languages \u200b\u200bother than Castilian English in the Senate, so has the expense. In fact, if only we look at economic terms, what we should consider is to eliminate the Senate, because with his current role is useless.

a nationalist said the move "only" accounted for 1% of the Senate, maybe it's time to plant will save 100% ;-). Bicameral systems were born to represent the people on one side (lower chamber) and other privileged classes (upper house), theoretically more educated and prepared. In England it is very visible with the camera of Commons and the House of Lords (the latter very reformed and have little power, but more that our senate, one year to delay the processing of laws). The former justification, based on combining democracy is government by the people, with aristocracy, which is the government of the best, needless to say makes no sense today. In fact, in Spain our constitution of 1812 (Cadiz) innovated by removing the upper house, which, however, was reintroduced in subsequent constitutions, with the exception of the Second Republic. U.S. bicameral system is completely different, because while represantes camera is based on the population (Originally a represents by every 30,000 inhabitants) in the Senate there are two senators per state and periods are different, giving rise to different balance of power. More importantly, in the U.S. Senate not a camera you only need to endorse what was approved in the House of represantes (by the way, is wrong to call "congress" to represantes camera, the "Congress" is the union of the two chambers represantes) but which has a power comparable to the lower house and there are unique features of each camera. As usual, recommended the wikipedia for more information.

Turning to the earpiece. The inadequacy of the measure is not only an economic issue but of principles. It is not uncommon to find people who already make the mistake of categorizing languages \u200b\u200bas Euskera, Galician and Catalan as co-official "status and this is the kind of measures that deepens in error. Article 3 of our Constitution is crystal clear: the state's official language is Castilian (which states that all have an obligation to know and the right to use it: the constitution of the Second Republic was on the same line and also spoke that the obligation to know Castilian could not be extended to other languages \u200b\u200bexcept special laws). The other co-official languages \u200b\u200bare English (together with Castilian) in their respective regions. As much to be committed or CiU ERC, in Cuenca the only official language is Castilian English, while in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bas reflected in the demographic reality on the other hand, are both official languages, Castilian and Catalan.

So, given that the Senate is an institution of the State (which has a few representatives elected directly by state government does not change that) makes no sense to confuse people. In the Parliament of Catalonia has to speak Catalan and Castilian, because both are co-official languages \u200b\u200bof Catalonia and neither is the language of Catalonia to the exclusion of the other. In the Senate the only official language is Castilian English because it is the only language state.

Game nationalists in Catalonia is the only official language is Catalan in the same way that it is Castilian regions such as Madrid, Castile and Andalusia and hence its claim to be the same level as the Castilian plane equality. So ignore the rights of its own citizens to choose between using the Catalan and Castilian as they please.

I do not want to be unfair to the rights of the Catalan-speaking or ignore common sense: a Catalan officials who are in public care for example does seem to me fair to require them to learn Catalan. Because while all citizens of Catalonia when another was referred to it in Catalan or Castilian has every right in the world to answer in the language you prefer, an official and public servant who is should respond in the same language as you have asked. Anyway here goes also common sense: Catalan is a language that anyone living in Catalonia will learn unless otherwise be committed within a period not excessive, so it makes sense to require no input but as a precondition for strengthening the square after a training course.

Leotards For Women In Chicago



Well, yesterday I finally got my Christmas present: an electronic book reader, Kindle 3G.

I've made up my mind read more, hence the waste as not only is my Christmas present but it will be a birthday ;-). Years ago I read a lot but I've been neglecting this good habit, especially the chapter on fiction, last year I've almost read more books of historical entertainment content. So, my purpose is to read more at the expense of devoting less time to movies and computer entertainment. And see if behavior change helps put me to board the ear before the early start is horrible when you go to bed so late.

also want to improve my poor English devote part of my time reading books in this accursed language, of people who do not know the advantages of having only five vowel sounds and everything to rule as written ;-). Carry out this purpose with the book "physical" is sometimes a latazo the dictionary or having to deal with two bulky books (yes, an alternative is the dictionary also have the book in English). Not forgetting that it is also inconvenient to have to buy books in English on the Internet and wait until you arrive, without having also certain to read a few pages if your low level language will allow you to enjoy them minimally.

But I must say that this Christmas I read in English and previous experience kindle parts of books of the series of Harry Potter and the Chronicles of Narnia on paper and although cumbersome, the experience has been positive (though less than in English, I enjoyed reading). Why I chose these books, besides being easily available on Amazon UK free shipping at a reasonable price?
  1. Because I love, engage, have fun wit points. Basic if you have to reread several times and also strengthen the audiobook listening: Do not even think a book that is a tostón even a jewel of literature (on the other hand, Harry Potter and The Chronicles of Narnia are the very best of children's literature, and brought to devote time to a text that is with something of quality.)
  2. Because I had them in English, and I are more than familiar: I've read more than once in English and seen the movies. It's very interesting to read the chapter in English and English, you learn a lot and I admire how good are the translations. Also read in English (and then try to listen) is much more affordable with a book you'd read: It is frustrating to read a book in English and it costs you follow the thread, but if you know him lose less time looking for words infrequently used because the idea it is.
  3. For books originally written for children do not usually have affected vocabulary. Your continued use of Collins ruins any reading.
  4. Because they are the books I love to read to my son and the sons of my friends, so it is a purchase that will "repay." One who was educated in the Castilian austerity always think before buying something you will use to give and if performance is going to take, when you bought the copy they read other people are subtracting the balance to be amortized
  5. ;-)
pity that the book addresses the satisfaction of "repay" loan books will lose a lot of (the possibility of loan Kindle or B & N, which is limited by the publisher of the book, is quite poor). Are disadvantages of the electronic book courtesy of DRM. And speaking of DRM and the abuse of so-called "intellectual property", though admire how well he does Amazon, is a bit sad to see a company that was born and has been selling great books treat them as if be software and not something with a tangible component, talking about "license" the right to read the book in front of the historic right to be possessed "physical" copy of which has been purchased, you can lend, sell or bequeath.

And what I value my new Kindle? because I'm very happy with the purchase: e-ink really has nothing to do with any computer screen and although the first impression is that the book is very small, very comfortable to read (yes, yes, more than reading a physical book, who did not think so try lying on its side read the last volume of Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings and compare the experience :-)). Assessing the suitability

to learn reading in English, has the advantage of the dictionary and the option to convert text to speech (yes, they should improve the software, sounds too tinny compared to the free software is for Linux or service, including MacOSX). There are many books on the Internet (yes, there are copies of "unauthorized" but also public domain) and when purchased separately just to read them without waiting to buy you arrive, you have the option of reading a few pages and assess whether your English as you will enjoy or not before checking out.

A more detailed analysis and why I have decided on the Kindle, for another day ;-).
