    Lou Reed: el cantante mejor del mundo Lou Reed, cantante principal del grupo Velvet Underground, cronista veterano de la parte de la vida más loca, más apasionada y más desesperada y uno de los compositores más influyentes y distinguidos de su generación, ha fallecido a los 70 años. Había padecido de insuficiencia hepática y recibió un transplante antes en este mismo año. El agente literario de Reed, Andrew Wylie, dijo que el músico se murió a la mañana de domingo en Southampton, Nueva York, de una complicaciones relacionadas con el transplante. Su agente de músico basado en Inglaterra, Andy Woolliscroft, confirmó las noticias a el Guardian antes en la noche de domingo, diciendo: "Sí, temo que es verdad. Me afecta mucho." John Cale, su viego amigo y uno de los fundadores de Velvet Underground, dijo: "El mundo ha perdido un compositor y poeta fino ... He perdido mi amigo del patio de recreo." Los homenajes desde músicos y escritores se aparecieron muy rápidamente en los redes sociales. David Bowie dijo en su página de Facebook: "Era un maestro." Iggy Pop lo llamó "noticias terribles." Kim Gordon de Sonic Youth escribió: "Me da pena oír hablar del fallecimiento de Lou Reed, que ¡es un golpe enorme!" El cocinero y autor Anthony Bourdain citó la canción 'Sweet Jane' de Velvet Underground: "'Vino y rosas del cielo ... parecen susurrarme ... cuando sonrías' ... DEP Lou Reed." Lloyd Cole escribió: "Sin Lou no hay Bowie como lo conoce. ¿Yo? Habría convertido en un profesor de matemáticas." Ryan Adams solamente dijo: "Lou Reed." Nile Rodgers del grupo funk Chic twitteó: "Lou Reed, DEP, hizo el espectáculo de Jools Holland consigo el año pasado y lo metimos la pata. No sabía que estaba enfermo." El escritor Salman Rushdie optó por conmemorar el cantante en un mensaje lleno de referencias a sus canciones: "Mi amigo Lou Reed llegó al final de su canción. Muy triste. Pero, Lou, oye, tu siempre cas a dar un paseo al lado indomado. Siempre un día perfecto."

    The phrase "to make it" has several meanings, but in this context, the girl is trying to say "Oh, you managed to come after all!".

    The first - "Come to the cafeteria and drink a coffee." would be appropriate. You are moving towards a direction, so 'to' is correct. 'At' or 'In' would only mean location eg. "I am at the library / I am in school." However, "I go to the library, and I go to school." In your example, "Come into the cafeteria and drink a coffee." is also correct.

    I love all his movies!! And most importantly, I love the fact that Joe Hisaishi has created the soundtrack for his most famous works.

    I probably wouldn't be too happy if I were alone and someone referred to me as a 'guy'. However, I have been guilty in the past of saying things like, "Guys! Hurry up and let's go!" my group of girl friends, and no one has ever got mad at me, so I think that it's only when there is a single female would it be impolite. :-)

    Hello! Let me answer your questions to the best of my ability. 1) 'Ethical event' - When something is ethical, it means that something is morally correct. Killing humans is unethical, for example, because it is not morally correct. - In this context, making molecular biology open to the masses is something that is principled, or "correct" in values. 2) "Free and open inquiry" - To inquire means to ask about something, to find out more about something. - Free and open have very subtle shades of meaning. This means that it is difficult to explain the differences between them. I will try though! To be free means that you can do whatever you want, you are not under anybody's control. A free society is one where you are allowed to say what you want, do what you want and go where ever you want. When something is open, it is readily available to people. An open society isn't necessarily free, but an open society is a transparent one. By this, an open society is one where you can see and access important documents, and there are no secrets in government, business and so on. This is, of course, a .

    Right, let's answer your questions in detail. 1) "holding themselves above the transitory concerns of politics and even wars." - Transitory means that something changes a lot. - The author is trying to say that matters of politics and wars are something not permanent and constantly changing - To conclude, when the scientists 'hold themselves above the transitory concerns of politics and even wars.', the author is trying to say that the scientists' work or the scientists themselves should be more important than ever-changing (in this regard, you can even extrapolate this meaning as "trivial" or "not important") matters of politics and even war. Yes, themselves are the scientists! 2) "Seeing themselves as working" - In this context, this means that the scientists think that they work for the benefit of mankind. - 'working' in this sentence refers to the scientists' actual activities and research, and their contribution to mankind. Hope that helped a little! Let me know if there is something in my explanation you didn't understand, and I will re-explain :)

    My brother is 21 years old. He is a very shy boy, especially when he is in front of a girl. But I know that he is a good boy (since) he likes cooking and doing housework. It is a pity that he does not like to learn. He was working for 2 years and he is an ambitious person. My brother is very kind to me, he is never angry at me and always remembers my birthday. To my surprise, he does not have a girlfriend yet. I might consider introducting a girl to him.

    Good job! You got the basic grammar right, I just made the sentences a bit prettier :-)

    I am learning Russian because I am in love with it, simple as that. I recently lived in St. Petersburg for 2 months and learnt so much Russian there that it's hard to let myself leave. But I had to leave for visa reasons, and now I am learning Russian every day just to remember the wonderful time I spent in Russia.

    To "used to" do something means that you would regularly do something in the past, but not necessarily do it now. eg: "I used to go out and party every weekend, but now I have to sit down and study." "I used to chew my nails when I was younger, but mum would slap my wrists whenever I did." To be used to means to be accustomed to something. "I am used to writing with my right hand, I couldn't possibly change to my left hand now!" "Tom, you are too used to being spoiled by your parents. It's time you go out and earn your own money." To get used to is the process of becoming accustomed to something, "I got used to my stepfather now that he's moved in with my mother." "I am still getting used to this job at the bank. I know nothing about finance!"
