    Panaderia - review Five out of five stars. Cinco de cinco estrellas. Tonight we got to eat supper early, so we went for our nightly walk after supper instead of before. This made a perfect opportunity to get dessert! Anoche tuvimos la oportunidad comer temprano. Por eso, fuimos para nuestra camino rutíno después la cena en lugar de antes. Fue la oportunidad perfecto para postres! This panaderia has ample seating, great lighting, a mirror along one wall, and delicious food. Este panadería tiene sillas suficiente, luz bueno, un espejo en un pared, y comida deliciosa. When I put the baby onto a chair with the tray of food on the table in front of her, she smacked the table, wrinkled her nose at me, and proceeded to climb onto the table and put her fat fingers into the frosting. Cuando puse el bebé dentro una silla con una bandeja de comida directamente en el frente de ella, she pegó la mesa, dobló su nariz, y siguió gatear encima de la mesa y puso sus dedos gordos dentro azucar glaceado. We all shared and the toddler learned quickly to say "May I please have some now?" Immediate gratification = huge leaps in language learning. This plus a milkshake cost the equivalent of $5. I am content. Este plus una bebida del helado cuesto parecidos a $5 USD. Estoy contenta. Huge, clean displays with all my favorite pastries. Traditional with a modern flair. Grandes, limpias ventanas con todos de mis postres favoritos. Tradicional con un stilo moderna.

    On February 15th, 2013 a fireball crashed near a Russian city called Chelyabinsk, leaving nearly 1,500 injured and a lot great deal of damage. Three years afterwards, it is still unknown where it came from. Although more than 200 scientific studies have been published on this subject, none of them has come up with a satisfactory solution to this problemquestion. It seems that thea meteorite exploded when it was 20 kilometres over the ground and liberatedfreed an amount of energy that was 30 times as much as that of the Hiroshima atomic bomb. Many meteorite fragments were found after the explosion, including a 650 kilogram one, which landed on a lake. According to some experts, happenings like this may occur once every 10,000 years. What all the scientists agree on is the impossibility of predicting where and when the next fireball will fall down.


    Final sentence is vague. The important part is that it is IMPOSSIBLE to predict the next one. Rephrase so that word is easier to pick out.

    Elejir una escuela de español We wanted to learn Spanish. We knew that language schools would provide structure for us to do so. They would also help us navigate traveling with an 8-month-old and 2.5-year-old. Habiamos querer aprender Español. Supemos que las escuelas de idiomas daría la organiziación para nosotros hacerlo. También, ellos ayudaría viajar con un bebe de ocho meses y niñito de dos y media años. Language schools typically coordinate the following: - housing - Spanish classes - social events - networking with similar folks - babysitting (if you have kids) Escuelas de idiomas usualmente coordina el siguiente: la casa clases de español eventos sociales oportunidades para conocer personas similares cuidado de niños (si los tienen) Priority One: Schools needed to have experience coordinating child care. Therefore, we searched for schools that said on their websites that they offered babysitting or classes for children. Prioridad Uno: Escuelas necesitan tener experiencia coordinar cuidado de niños. Por eso, buscamos escuelas lo que dicieron en sus sitios que ellos se ofrecen cuidado de niños o clases para niños. Priority Two: Avoid disease. We looked at location and risk of mosquitoes. We were terrified of mosquito-borne illnesses such as dengue and chikingunya. Priority Three: Location. We don’t like to be too hot, so we avoided the Nicoya Peninsula. We wanted to be close to the most amazing natural wonders. We didn’t think too much about danger because the dangerous areas seemed to be hot or far away from amazing natural wonders. Prioridad Tres: Locación. No nos gusta tener calor, y por eso evitamos el Península de Nicoya. Quisemos estar cerda de las maravillas naturales. No pensamos mucho del peligros porque las areas peligrosas parecen estar caliente o lejos de maravillas naturales. Based on our spreadsheet, then, we ended up at AdventureEducation Center-Turrialba. They have three campuses. We could transfer to a different campus later if we liked their school but not the location. They had helped families in the past coordinate their babysitting for children. The location wasn’t close to anything very exciting, but it would provide a good safe home base to start our trip. If we weren’t happy there, the deposit we had agreed to pay only covered the first week and we could switch locations or schools altogether after that first week if need be.

    La Importancia de Dormir I had read about how travel and relocation can leave one exhausted. It can feel like you've done nothing. Planes, trains, and automobiles have done all of the work. However, the act of coordinating your travel details in the moment, especially across language and cultural differences, is still tiring. He leido de que viajar y moverse puedan cansarse. Pueda sentirse como usted no ha hecho nada. Aviones, trenes, y autos han hecho todo el trabajo. Sin embargo, la acción de coordinar las detalles del viaje en eso momento, especialmente a través de las diferencias del idioma o la cultura, es muy agotador. When we arrived here in Centaura, we found ourselves exhausted. The lack of sleep during our 24 hours of travel coupled with the overwhelming differences in climate, language, and road conditions--not to mention the ongoing care of our children amidst all this--left us very winded, emotionally and mentally. We slept. The kids slept. Everyone slept and slept and slept. Cuando llegamos aquí en Centaura, nos encontramos agotados. La ausencia de duerme durante nuestra viaje de 24 horas, juntos con las diferencias grandes de clima, idioma, y calles--también con cuidando los niños en todo de este--nos robó la capacidad de respirarnos. Las emociones y pensamientos. Por eso, nos dormimos. Los niños durmieron. Quiera persona durmió y durmió y durmió. Thankfully, we have found a beautiful place to do so. Gracias a dios, hemos encontrado un lugar bello para lo hace.

    The Celts

    Historians know very LITTLE about Celts' history. This civilization, whose different tribes came from different places, is thought to have settled in Central Europe during the Iron Age. They hardly ever used handwritten language, since they mainly communicated orally. The Celt civilization was made up of many tribes, each of them different from the other. However, they spoke the same language and had a very similar religion. They were warriors. Little by little THEY were invading many countries in Europe such as Britannia and Iberia, in other words Great Britain and The Spanish Mainland. Although they were savage warriors, they lacked discipline, which led them to be beaten by the Romans. The warriors fought naked, wearing only a kind of pendant. Besides this, they painted their bodIES in blue, using a special ink which they OBTAINED from a plant called glasto. They had their own ethicAL codes while fighting. For example, they considered IT unacceptable to be attacked by more than one soldier at a time. After winning a battle ,the Celts used to celebrate by having a feast, which lasted for several days. At those feasts musicians and poets performed, usually praising the bravest soldiers.

    Also, some of these tribes are known to cremate their dead and keep their ashes in ceramic RECEPTACLES. They used to play a game called fidchell, which was very similar to chess. It is also known that they were obsessed with their physical appearance; overweight people were looked down on.

It was good to have some people come be on our island with us. Obtuvimos un foto todo juntos al aeropuerto. Nos falta familia y amigos. Fue bueno de tener alguna familia venir en la isla con nosotros. We took them on a tour of some neat spots. This spot is the deepest ocean water next to a shore in the entire world. Don't fall in! Les monstramos unos lugares bonitos. Este lugar es lo más profunda agua del mar al lado de la costa en todo del mundo. ¡No se caiga!

    I miss the library. Me falta la biblioteca. I miss the library. Me falta la biblioteca. There is a library here, but several of its services get the following reply, "We don't have that right now." Hay una biblioteca aquí, pero muchos de sus servicios reciben el siguido: "No lo tenemos ahora." For example: access to the third floor's revered Caribbean ecology section. Interlibrary loan. Por ejemplo: acceso al nivel trecero para la colección estimada de ecología del Caribbean. Prestamo interbibliotecario. I want to read some new books without buying them. Quiero leer libros nuevos sin comprarlos. But I will have to wait 21 more months until I return to the land of functioning libraries. It's a shame. Very sad for the ongoing residents of the islands, that their library system cannot get them the variety of books they may want. Pero necesitaré esperar 21 meses más hasta regresaré a la tierra de bibliotecas funcionadas. Que lástima. Muy triste para los residentes permanentes de las islas, que su sistema bibliotecaria no puede le obtener la variedad de libros lo que quiserieran.

    En una cessna. Parte Uno. (de cuatro) We took a Cessna from San Juan, Puerto Rico to St. Croix. When we saw the word Cessna on the tickets, we joked about taking a sea plane. When we saw the little plane that would take us across the ocean from one small island to an even smaller island, I immediately popped two Dramamines. Volaron en una Cessna de San Juan Puerto Rico a St. Croix. Cuando lo vimos la palabra "Cessna" en los tiquetes, hicimos chistes de volando en un avión del mar. Cuando lo vimos el avión pequeño que nos llevó arriba del mar de una isla pequeña a una aún más pequeña, inmediatamente, tome dos Dramamines.

    una ciclista mala, continuada. numero 3. It works out ok. I stop at the driveway, pull up perpendicular to the road, watch for cars. I assume the cars do not see me and do not expect me to pull out into the street. There are few bike commuters here on St. Croix, and those that I do see are pedaling quite slowly, often with a handle in one hand. So I am a defensive biker. El funciona más o menos. Dejaba a la entrada de coches, estacionaba perpendicular a la calle, y buscaba coches. Asumo que los coches aquí no me ven y no me esperan de entrar la calle. Hay pocos pasajeros por bicicleta aquí sobre St. Croix, y ellos lo que veo están pedaleo lentamente, con frecuencia con un mango de alcohol en una mano. Por eso, soy ciclista defensiva. Once the coast is clear, I pull out into the street, pedal with traffic, on the left, as fast my little legs will let me, and then breathe a sigh of relief when I pull back up onto the sidewalk again. I know how brainless I am at 7:15am without coffee and I don't now how many of my fellow road warriors have likewise missed their coffee that morning. Cuando la via está clara, empiezo de entrar la calle, pedo con trafico, en la izquierda, tan rapida como mis piernas puedan, y entonces respiro un suspiro de alivio cuando estoy segura en la vereda otra vez. Yo sé como estoy en la mañana, sin café, sin pensamiento, a las 7:15. Yo no sé cuantos de mis colegas están en un situación parecido, sin café. Well, something interesting happened about two weeks ago. I'd been biking to work for almost a month at this point, and I noticed that one of my sharp-cornered sidewalks was busted up. Was the VI government paying for a ramp to be put in? Was the federal court noticing that one of its employees' wives was biking past there every day, and they put in a good word? Was this improvement int he works for months before I arrived? I don't know. But I am excited. Pues, algo interesante pasó hace dos semanas. He ido por bicicleta hace casí un mes, y lo ví que un de las esquinas estuvo quebrado en piezas grandes. ¿Pagó el gobierno de las islas vírgenes para la instalación de una rampa? ¿Notaron el Corte Federal que un de las esposas de sus empleados pasaba allí por bicicleta cada día, y ellos hicieron un recomendación? ¿Sea mejorado ya en el plan antes de mi llegado? Yo no sé. Pero me alegre.

    My final project degree.

    Hi guys! Today I´m going to talk about the degree that I obtained recently. I was a student since 2009 and now I am an industrial engineer. When someone studies engineering, he/she has to do a final project to obtain the certification. This was what I did for the last eight (write out numbers under ten) months. In my case, the final project consisted of a computer vision system avaliable to detect fruits in their trees. Specifically, the system was designed to detect bunches of grapes in vineyards.

    This project is a part of another much more complex project. The final goal is to automatize a forest process to improve production.The process consists of getting the bunches of grapes into a paper bag. If you do it, you will obtain much more kilograms of grapes. People usually do this in Spain. My final project consisted of designing the computer vision system of a machine that could automatize this process. So my goal was to detect the bunches of grapes to get them into the paper bag. In addition, this project would function during the months of June and July so the weather is really hot and it is a exhausting job.

    In this project, I used a stereo par camera to take photos in several fields of grapes. These photos were processed later to develop the system for detecting grapes. It was hard work because I had to take more than 500 photos from several fields, several illumination conditions, and the kind of parameters that the system depended on. I also used a computer for analyzing and computing the photos. In addition, the main tool that I used was OpenCV library. This is a sofware that has a lot of classes and methods that let you work with computer vision such as detectors, matching, face detect, etc. I would like to encourage people to use this library if you would like to develop as a photographer. I think it´s a really useful tool to get into a computer vision world.

    For today, that´s good. I want write more things about this topic tomorrow. ;)

    Be good ;)
