The Swan

The swan makes you happy,

Swan makes you love.


With those colors I would hug him,

with those eyes look like me.


The swan is an animal to take care,

do not have to abuse,

if you do not have to love.


Traduccido:


El Cisne

El cisne te hace feliz,
el cisne te hace amar.

Con esos colores me gustaría abrazarlo,
con esos ojos me gustaría mirarlo.

El cisne es un animal para cuidarlo,
no se tiene que maltratar,
si no se tiene que amar.

LOVE POEM

ETERNAL LOVE

May cloud the sun eternally

May be dried in an instant the sea;

May break the earth's axis

As a weak crystal.

Everything will happen! Death may

Cover me with funeral crepe;

But in me will never fade

The flame of your love.

Traduccido:

- AMOR ETERNO

Podrá nublarse el sol eternamente;

Podrá secarse en un instante el mar;

Podrá romperse el eje de la tierra

Como un débil cristal.

¡todo sucederá! Podrá la muerte

Cubrirme con su fúnebre crespón;

Pero jamás en mí podrá apagarse

La llama de tu amor.

----Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer----

The Great Barrier Reef

The Great Barrier Reef (Great Barrier Reef in English) is the largest coral reef in the world. comprising more than 2,900 reefs individualsi 900 islands in a strip of more than 3,000 kilometers over an area of approximately 348,000 square kilometers. The reef is located in the Coral Sea, off the coast of Queensland in northeastern Australia. The Great Barrier Reef supports a wide diversity of life, and was selected as a World Heritage Site in 1981. Among the reefs there are over 1,500 species of fish and shellfish. CNN has been classified as one of the seven wonders of the world, and the Queensland National Trust has considered a state icon of Queensland. The Great Wall is the foundation of a great diversity of life, including many vulnerable or endangered species, some of which may be endemic to the reef system. Thirty species of whales, dolphins and porpoises have been inventoried in the Great Barrier Reef, including minke whales, dolphins Sousa, and the Humpback Whale. There are also large populations of dugong live. Six species of sea turtle come to the reef to breed -; the Green turtle, Leatherback Turtle, Carey turtle, loggerhead turtle, flatback turtle, the turtle and the Gulf. The green sea turtles in the Great Barrier Reef have two clear genetic populations, one in the north of the reef and the other south. [32] Fifteen species of vegetation seabed attracts dugongs and turtles, [30] and provides a habitat for fish. [33] The most common species are Halophila and Halodule. The Great Barrier Reef stretches from Torres Strait (between Bramble Cay, the northernmost island, and the south coast of Papua New Guinea) north of the unnamed passage that is between Lady Elliot Island (the its southernmost island) and Fraser Island to the south. Lady Elliot Island is located 1915 km southeast of Bramble Cay. [11] Australia is moving northwards at a speed of 7 cm per year since the Cenozoic. [12] Eastern Australia experienced a period of tectonic elevation, making the move laderiva mainland Queensland 400 km inland. At this time, Queensland experienced volcanic eruptions with significant flows of basalt. [13] Some of these outcrops of granite have become major islands. [14] After the formation of the Coral Sea lagoon, the coral reefs began to grow inside her, until about 25 million years. The North Queensland was still temperate waters, but south of the tropics was too cold for the development of coral.

The Great Borrier Reef

Sharks (superorder Selachimorpha) are a type of fish with a full cartilaginous skeleton and a highly streamlined body. The earliest known sharks date from more than 420 million years ago, before the time of the dinosaurs.^[1]

Since that time, sharks have diversified into 440 species, ranging in size from the small dwarf lanternshark, Etmopterus perryi, a deep sea species of only 17 centimetres (7 in) in length, to the whale shark, Rhincodon typus, the largest fish, which reaches approximately 12 metres (39 ft) and which feeds only on plankton, squid, and small fish through filter feeding. Sharks are found in all seas and are common down to depths of 2,000 metres (6,600 ft). They generally do not live in freshwater, with a few exceptions such as the bull shark and the river shark which can live both in seawater and freshwater.^[2] They respire with the use of five to seven gill slits. Sharks have a covering of dermal denticles that protect their skin from damage and parasites and improve fluid dynamics so the shark can move faster. They have several sets of replaceable teeth.^[3]Well-known species such as the great white and the hammerhead are apex predators at the top of the underwater food chain. Their extraordinary skills as predators fascinate and frighten humans, even as their survival is under serious threat from fishing and other human activities.Shark skeletons are very different from those of bony fish and terrestrial vertebrates. Sharks and other cartilaginous fish (skates and rays) have skeletons made from cartilage and connective tissue. Cartilage is flexible and durable, yet has about half the density of bone. This reduces the skeleton’s weight, saving energy.

Like other fish, sharks extract oxygen from seawater as it passes over their gills. Unlike other fish, shark gill slits are not covered, but lie in a row behind the head. A modified slit called a spiracle lies just behind the eye; the spiracle assists water intake during respiration and plays a major role in bottom dwelling sharks. Spiracles are reduced or missing in active pelagic sharks.^[11] While the shark is moving, water passes through the mouth and over the gills in a process known as "ram ventilation". While at rest, most sharks pump water over their gills to ensure a constant supply of oxygenated water. A small number of species have lost the ability to pump water through their gills and must swim without rest. These species are obligate ram ventilators and would presumably asphyxiate if unable to move. Obligate ram ventilation is also true of some pelagic bony fish species.

Reproduction

Sharks practice internal fertilization. The posterior part of a male shark's pelvic fins are modified into a pair of intromittent organs called claspers, analogous to a mammalian penis, of which one is used to deliver sperm into the female.^[33]

Mating has rarely been observed in sharks. The smaller catsharks often mate with the male curling around the female. In less flexible species the two sharks swim parallel to each other while the male inserts a clasper into the female's oviduct. Females in many of the larger species have bite marks that appear to be a result of a male grasping them to maintain position during mating. The bite marks may also come from courtship behavior: the male may bite the female to show his interest. In some species, females have evolved thicker skin to withstand these bites.^[33]

Unlike most bony fishes, sharks are K-selected reproducers, meaning that they produce a small number of well-developed young as opposed to a large number of poorly-developed young. Fecundity in sharks ranges from 2 to over 100 young per reproductive cycle. Sharks display three ways to bear their young, varying by species, oviparity, viviparity and ovoviviparity.

DIVING WITH SHARKS Beyond the myth of the world of sharks, with its activity Diving with sharks L’Aquàrium de Barcelona wishes to present these animals from a more scientific viewpoint that might interest divers, and give a message for people to understand sharks.

NEW ZELAND = WHALE RIDER

Whale Rider is a 2002 drama film directed by Niki Caro, based on the novel of the same name by Witi Ihimaera. The world première was on September 9, 2002, at the Toronto International Film Festival.

The movie's plot follows the story of Paikea Apirana ("Pai") at the age of 12 who is the only living child in the line of the tribe's chiefly succession because of the death of her twin brother and mother during childbirth. By tradition, the leader should be the first-born son — a direct patrilineal descendant of Paikea, the Whale Rider — he who rode atop a whale from Hawaiki. However, Pai is female and technically cannot inherit the leadership.

Pai's grandfather Koro Apirana, or Old Paka as his wife Nanny Flowers calls him (according to the book, this is an affectionate version of "old bugger"), the leader of the tribe, is initially angry at losing his grandson and being left with a "worthless" female. While he does later form an affectionate bond with his granddaughter, carrying her to school every day on his bicycle, he also resents her and blames her for many of the troubles facing the tribe. At one point Paikea decides to leave with her father because her grandfather is mistreating her. However she finds that she cannot bear to leave the sea as the whale seems to be calling her back, tells her father to turn the car back and returns home. Pai's father refuses to assume traditional leadership; instead he moves to Germany to pursue a career as an artist. Pai herself is interested in the leadership, learning traditional songs and dances, but is given little encouragement by her grandfather. Pai feels that she can become the leader, although there's no precedent for a woman to do so, and is determined to succeed.

Koro decides to form a cultural school for the village boys, hoping to find a new leader. He teaches the boys to use a taiaha (fighting stick). This is traditionally reserved for males. However, Nanny tells Pai that her second son, Pai's uncle, had won a taiaha tournament in his youth while he was still slim, so Pai secretly learns from him. She also secretly follows Koro's lessons. One of the students, Hemi, is also sympathetic towards her, but Koro is enraged when he finds out, particularly when she wins her taiaha fight against Hemi. Koro's relationship with Pai erodes further when none of the boys succeed at the traditional task of recovering the rei puta (whale tooth) that he threw into the ocean — this mission would prove one of them worthy of becoming leader.

Pai, in an attempt to bridge the rift that has formed, invites Koro to be her guest of honour at a concert of Māori chants that her school is putting on. Unknown to all, she had won an inter-school speech contest with a touching dedication to Koro and the traditions of the village. However, Koro was late, and as he was walking to the school, he notices that numerous right whales are beached near Pai's home. The entire village attempts to coax and drag them back into the water, but all efforts prove unsuccessful; even a tractor doesn't help because the rope breaks. Koro sees it as a sign of his failure and despairs further. He admonishes Pai against touching the largest whale because "she has done enough damage" with her presumption. Also, the largest whale traditionally belongs to the legendary Paikea. But when Koro walks away, she climbs onto the back of the largest whale and coaxes it to re-enter the ocean. The whale leads the entire pod back into the sea; Paikea nearly drowns in the process. When she goes out to sea, Nanny Flowers (Koro's wife and Pai's grandmother) shows Koro the whale tooth which Pai had previously recovered. When Pai is found and brought to the hospital, Koro declares her the leader and asks her forgiveness. The film ends with the village, including Pai's father, uncle, and grandparents, celebrating her status as leader, as the finished waka is hauled into the sea for its maiden voyage.

While the plot of the book is basically the same, it pays less attention specifically to Pai/Koro though, and mainly focuses from a perspective of narration by Rawiri; in the film, Pai herself is the narrator. It clearly expresses the deep resentment felt by her grandfather, and Pai's longing to gain his respect as the rift opens between them.
