He has created pieces with Lego that can pick up and transport heavier elements than the same pieces. David Aguilar has a Youtube channel where he shows some of his creations, the channel is called "Hand solo", in addition to publicizing the pieces he has made, he has some videos where he seeks to leave a message of encouragement to people with disabilities and demonstrate that there are noimpossible and can be overcome.

EARTH'S EARLIST MOBILE ORGANISM LIVED 2.1 BILLION YEARS OLD.
FEBRUARY 17, 2019

Thanks to a scientific discovery it has been revealed that the mobility of an organism dates back more than two billion years ago. The fossils are know but not the creature that managed to move for the first time and is now know after millions of years, however, life began one thousand five hundresd million years, before the first motility of the mysterious organisms.]]> 2019-02-19 03:17:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicamina/erqj8lozwptq/wish/332528067 elianabernal https://padlet.com/jessicamina/erqj8lozwptq/wish/332656079 Besides, check your writing.

In the video they present Matthew Youlden, a polyglot and linguist who shares the steps to learn a language easily. Being bilingual is a reality, however, many believe that this is not the case and that something challenging is even overwhelming. 

For Matthew, learning languages ​​is really easy and explains why: the first thing to do is set aside the myths. You can learn a language at any time because there is no time limit where the human being stops learning.
According to studies, adults can learn a language more easily than a child, since we have already acquired the learning experience we recognize how to learn, we know what strategies are useful for us.
The Guardian in his study suggests that those who speak two or more languages ​​may be more prepared to deal with problems, because they are able to prioritize tasks with agility.
Matthew proposes some shortcuts that can be used to learn any language:
1. look for similarities between languages
2. not complicate
3. that the language to be learned is relevant.

Dedicating a daily space of 30 minutes to learning the language is more effective, it is not overwhelming and it increases the possibility of learning a language with better results. These spaces within the daily routine have to be complemented with passive learning: how to listen to a station in the language to learn, music, watch a movie, read, to associate what was learned and expand the vocabulary.

It also proposes "three golden rules" to learn a language:
1. to live the language: to speak it, to read it, to write it, to sing it ...
2. Make mistakes to learn from it
3. have fun in the process.]]> 2019-02-22 17:24:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicamina/erqj8lozwptq/wish/334238950 paola_010416 https://padlet.com/jessicamina/erqj8lozwptq/wish/334258330 *Usually when I learn something new, I look for ways to acquire it with strategies that have been effective in my processes, however, on some occasions I prefer to stay in my comfort zone, I am working on it to take on every opportunity to learn something as a challenge personal growth.

The study wanted to test how sugar affects aging, given that in men it is used differently than it is in women. Despite the discovery, scientists do not explain why sugar plays an important role in brain aging, however, they propose hormones as "protagistic" participants in the process. And finally, they present some tips to maintain a young brain, such as exercising daily or sleeping the minimum hours necessary according to age.
