"So rather than risk saying the wrong thing, I said nothing"
-Patrick Rothfuss, The Wise Man's Fear.
This is a very wise quote because it's true that sometimes it's better think before talk and say nothing instead say something that can be inappropriate or prejudicial. It's something so simple but many people do the opposite. So it's a useful tip.
"Are you angry because I lied to you, or because you have not caught me lying to you?"
-Patrickk Rothfuss, The Name of The Wind
I really like this quote, because it's ingenious and that it says it's true. Always it's worse the effect that you weren't able to discover someone was lying than the fact he lied.
In the context of the book it's perfect and it gives to the character who said it a perspicacious and astute point.

Driving licence-What's the best age?
Hello, as you probably know, the law that decides the age you have to have for get the driving licence and drive a car is different depending of the state. There are ones in that the age is 18 and others in that the age is 16. What I think that have more sense?
Well, I think that's better wait until the 18 years because you are an adult, or at least you are supposed to. There are many of traffic accidents and there are a lot of 16 childish teenagers that can be dangerous for himself and for the others. I think it's a better moment because probably a person that haves 18 years has been driving a motorbike since his 16, so this person haves more experience and is ready to drive a car that is more dangerous.
But anyway maybe there can be persons who at their 14 years can drive a car in a intelligent and safety way and persons with a lot of experience who drive drunk and causes damage as well.

Podcast description
There is the link where you can find my podcast. Description of Southern California
Gap year in Southern California (Description)
Southern California is a very nice place to spend a gap year. It's a country with a rich and diverse geography. There are alpine mountains, foggy coastlines and hot deserts. There are the world's tallests, most massive and oldest trees.
The state is divided into Northen and Southern California, but the boundary between them is not well defined, but San Francisco is on the Northen California and Los Angeles in Southern California.
There are many beaches for surfing, bathing, and do more activities. The background along all the coast its so impressive and happens the same with the mountain.
California's climate varies widely, from Mediterranean to subartic, depending on latitude elevation and proximity to the coast. Coastatal and Southern parts of the state have a Mediterranean climate, it means there are rainy winters and dry summers. The influence of the ocean generally moderates temperature extremes, crating warmer winters and cooler summers, especially along the coastal areas.

World's largest rope swing
Hi, I saw a video on YouTube that was about a group of young people that constructed their own rope swing. It's just amazing and so exiting. The jumping must be terryfing but the swing it's so fun. After the video I saw another video in that they explainted more things about this epic rope swing.
They said it's a free fall of 130 meters and the shoot back up is abuot anothers 100 meters. Your swing not stop for at least 20 seconds. Tey had costructed it un 2 hours and after that they must look over to make sure that nobody dies, so they make a several tests and they also felt a whole bag full of rocks to make sure it was safety.
Well, finnaly they did it and they didn't have problems. It's a very nice thing to do and a very exiting experience but only if you have the correct equipment and experience.
There's the video

Sandboard in New Zealand
Hello, I saw a video from a hannel of yutube that I follow in that there were people doing what they called "sandboard".
It consists in go oto a very big sand dune with some objects to descend it so fast. I tyryed it sometimes when I was little but obviously it was not the same. Do it with a big sand dune has to be amazing and a fun experience. And they also do it in a very nice place as New Zealand. And it's also nice because if you fall in the descens it's not too dangerous, so you can enjoy it without to much worry. I sometime I go to some place wits great dunes i'll do it.
I like the sandboarding and the realization of the vido you can see straightaway.
Youtubers in the present generation
The generation of the 80's has been grew up with the firsts cartoons and when they get teenagers the watched tv series. But nowadays, although the tv has also an important influene on the generations there is another soure of entretainment coming from youtube. Every time there are more teenager and child that follow youtuber's channels. The youtuber is a person thet has decided to dedicate a part of his time doing things, recording them and share tem in youtube. The content that this called "youtubers" is mainly humor, reflections about anything of the life, pranks, gameplays(they play and do funny things wit a videogame and they record it), and sketches. There are a lot of this channels of youtube whose creators can earn a living from their videos. Some of those youtubers have millions of subscribers in their channels, the biggest channel in the world have more than 33 millions of subscribers. They get the money from publicity and advertising.
Personally I think that it's a good think because everyone with tallent, charisma or some special quallity can have an opportunity over the macroindustries of the tv and be independent. But I think that the better section is the ones that make humor or content, or skethes, because there are lot of useless videos that only take time of your life.
Spot the robot dog
SUMMARY:
A new robot dog called "Spot" has been created by Boston Dynamics. This new robot is able to navigate rough terrain and office cubicles alike. This robotic creation similar (in the form) to a dog, runs on an electric motor that powers a series of hydraulics, the motors responsible for ontrolling the movement of a mehanical system.
Spot can walk indoors, he can climb stairs and he can also run. It have a sensors that helps it navigate and walk.
OPINION:
I do not think the rason they had created this. I do not find any useful use of it, but it's impressive and nie. Maybe this is useful not for the robot tyhey had created but for improve our technological skills.

Man can see again
SYNOPSIS:
A blind man from Minnesota has been able to see for the firsty time in 10 years. The doctors provied him of bionic eye. This man is 68-year-old and he began losing his sight around twenty years ago because of a degenertive and incurable eye disease, so he loses his job in the 2005 because ha was not able to see enough, and every time his sight was worse. Now he is able to make out shapes in human forms. Mr Zderad was fitted with a seond sight implant which bypasses the damanged retina and sends light wave signal to the optic nerve and he has also an electronic chip embedded in his right eye which works in conjunction with the prosthetic decive set in pair of special glasses.
OPINION:
I think that's a great new beause it shows the advantadges of the new technology. But I do not think that this new technology will be able for everyone in a short period of time, it's only a solution for the richests mans. Although it's very unpleasant to have a bionic eye, because I think it can give you a lot of problems, as airports controlls, problems with the wather, or with the batttery, I think it's a great progress in the medicine ambit.
Words learned: bionic (electronic), degenerative (to get worse and worse), groundbreacking (new and grat), embed (to put something somewhere), in onjunction (together), prosthetic device (something which doctors give to replace an original body part).

OPINION:
It's a very delicated situation because I thinkj that the police officer didn't kill the boy because he wanted, but he did. So he has to fulfill the law and be arrested. But It doesn't has to happen because the pòlice has to watch over for the civil and not kill them. This means thst some policemans re not qualified enough for do well his job, because they are suposed to have a good control of the guns the use.
