...Cambio de ruta de Luís Sepúlveda (Chile, 1997) Resumen: En el año 1980 el ferrocarril Antofagasta-Oruro deja la estación chilena y empieza su largo viaje hasta Bolivia. El convoy está compuesto por un vagón postal, otro de mercancías y dos de pasajeros. Hay muy pocos viajeros y el tren lleva a dos maquinistas y un revisor. El viaje a través de la pampa salitrera es muy aburrido, de tal manera que dormir constituye la mejor actividad del viaje. El tren está cerca del volcán San Pedro, cuando súbitamente el maquinista ve aparecer un banco de niebla muy espesa. Es tan espesa que no se ve absolutamente nada y por eso el tren tiene que esperar. La radio tampoco funciona y después de una larga espera deciden hablar con los pasajeros. Finalmente los maquinistas y un boxeador exploran las vías y se dan cuenta de que están sobre un puente. Ahora tienen mucho miedo y están inquietos, porque normalmente no hay ningún puente en todo el trayecto. Cuando vuelven al tren, el estudiante saca una radio transistora de su bolsa. El locutor habla del trágico descarrilamiento del ferrocarril Antofagasta-Oruro comunicando que la pasada noche el tren saltó de las vías y cayó en un precipicio sin dejar ningún superviviente. Personajes: Los maquinistas: Los dos maquinistas conducen el tren. Al principio están tranquilos y no hay ningún problema, porque es un viaje de rutina. Cuando ven la niebla espesa son cuidadosos y detienen el tren.También son valientes, porque exploran las vías, pero...

...Luis Javier García Sanz más conocido como Luis García (n. Badalona (provincia de Barcelona), España; 24 de junio de 1978), futbolista español. Juega de centrocampista y actualmente juega en el Club Universidad Nacional de la Liga MX. Trayectoria Luis García se formó en las categorías inferiores del Fútbol Club Barcelona, club por el que fichó siendo infantil. Llegó del Sant Gabriel, un club de fútbol de San Adrián de Besós que contaba con una de las escuelas de fútbol más competitivas del país. Pasó por todos los equipos de la cantera del club. Real Valladolid (1999-2000) La siguiente temporada es cedido al Club Deportivo Tenerife, coincidiendo con el entrenador Rafael Benítez, donde se convierte en uno de los grandes artífices del ascenso del club insular por encima del Atlético de Madrid a la Primera División de España. Fue el máximo goleador de los chicharreros con 16 tantos, formando una dupla de ataque junto a Mista. En la temporada 2002/03 el FC Barcelona lo traspasó al Atlético de Madrid, aunque con una cláusula de recompra por parte del club catalán. Con el Atlético jugó 30 partidos de liga marcando nueve goles y jugando como falso extremo izquierda, se reveló como uno de los mejores jugadores españoles de la temporada. El FC Barcelona, que no había contado con él anteriormente, pagó entonces seis millones de euros por él y lo recompró, para posibles operaciones, ya que se había revalorizado. La temporada 2003/04 la jugó por fin en el primer equipo del...

...Español 3800 Profesor Monroe Jorge Luis Borges Como poeta y escritor, Jorge Luis Borges, es un orgullo hispano. Nacido y criado en Argentina, Borges creció rodeado de familiares educados. En su hogar, se hablo ambos idiomas, el inglés y el español. Desde poca edad, su adicción fue la lectura. El empezó a leer Shakespeare desde los Doce años, y utilizo la biblioteca de su padre como su manantial de conocimiento. Al empezar su carrera, Borges se dirigió hacia el ultraísmo. Al no ser seguidor de poetas que utilizan la rima, los trabajos de Borges contienen una emoción sensata y real lo cual en mi opinión es lo que en realidad importa. Sus cuentos y poesías contienen el mismo tono de madurez, pero en sus poesías Borges es un poco más sangriento y directo lo cual sustituye la rima en sus trabajos literarios. En sus poesías, Borges sabe demostrar el amor de una manera profunda, sin entrar en palabras fáciles y expresiones comunes. En el poema, “Antelación del Amor”, la imaginación del alma forma una escena inmensamente especial, puesto que en el interior de sus versos descansa la magia del amor. Con mirar la intimidad reflejada, no hay nada más maravilloso que ver dormir junto a ti el ser que amas, aun con la certeza de que pronto puede irse. Borges no es un hombre de muchas palabras, pero cuando las utiliza su mensaje es poderoso. Los poemas de Borges no son para ignorantes, quien los lee sabe qué es un enfrento. El vocabulario de este hombre es rico, tiene su propia...

...Luis Buñuel has once again created a surrealist piece to quickly grab the viewer's attention. The Phantom of Liberty is like a continuous triathlon without a finish line, but does not leave the audience exhausted after a number of events. Each story is effortlessly tied to the next like a different course in a triathlon, and is logical because as said by Roger Ebert, “[Buñuel’s] editing makes everything seem to follow with inevitable logic,” (Ebert). Buñuel was attempting to make the viewer believe the stories interlaced with each other by prompting other characters to appear on screen and connect the character’s lives together. The preconditioned idea humans created to believe in a resolution at the end of film is disregarded after an abundance...

...PART III GRAPH THEORY 224 13 Food Webs Author: College. Robert A. McGuigan, Department of Mathematics, Westfield State Prerequisites: The prerequisites for this chapter are basic concepts of graph theory. See Sections 9.1 and 9.2 of Discrete Mathematics and Its Applications. Introduction A food web is a directed graph modeling the predator-prey relationship in an ecological community. We will use this directed graph to study the question of the minimum number of parameters needed to describe ecological competition. For this purpose we will consider how graphs can be represented as intersection graphs of families of sets. We will also investigate the axiomatic description of measures of status in food webs. Competition In an ecological system, the various species of plants and animals occupy niches defined by the availability of resources. The resources might be defined in terms of factors such as temperature, moisture, degree of acidity, amounts of nutrients, 225 226 Applications of Discrete Mathematics and so on. These factors are subject to constraints such as temperature lying in a certain range, pH lying within certain limits, etc. The combination of all these constraints for a species then defines a region in n-dimensional Euclidean space, where n is the number of factors. We can call this region the ecological niche of the species in question. For example, suppose we restrict ourselves to three factors, such as temperature...

Luis had a passion for teaching ever since he was in high school teaching crafts to 10 year old kids. “He decided to go into teaching nine years ago, between his sophomore and junior years in high school”(Integ, pg 64). Luis was raised in the largest city of the state, where he has deep roots with friends and family. For half a year he had felt like a slave as a paralegal in a large law firm, and another half year as a junior executive has only made him realize his desire to become a teacher.

However, Sunset National Bank, a place where he applied, is offering him a job over 15 other candidates, “Sunset National Bank has chosen him over 15 other candidates for the trainee position because of his excellent academic background, fine references from his previous jobs, and outstanding interview” (Integ pg, 64) .

...waste of 47 minutes that won’t be given back, but the actuality is most poets write in hopes that the individual will interpret their own meaning using their imagination. That’s what makes poetry so fun! Jean Cocteau made it clear, at the beginning of the film, his display of the filming equipment in the background is a clear indication that he was attempting to express himself on screen. Jean was the first poet to do this. One scene that stood out was the young boy at the end lying down in blood, yet was completely ignored. As in all of his scenes it showed the despair and depression throughout the movie. I can only imagine this was a time the French were also experiencing those same emotions with their country. Der Andalusische Hund by Luis Bunuel This movie took a lot of research to understand what some of the scenes meant. Research on it was quite hard because majority of it was not in English. Here’s what I did find though. The two scenes with the ants in the palms, meant he was “itching to kill” the woman. Where I am lost is what does the scene mean when he has her cornered, yet he turns away to pull the piano, dead donkey and ten commandments towards her? I can only guess that the ten commandments was in reference to “thy shall not kill?” In any case this movie was very disturbing. From the eye being split by a razor in the beginning to the man almost looking like zombie while he is groping her. This short film was more suspenseful and left a lot of unexplained questions...

When the media came out and broadcasted the news, all of that was reported was havoc and chaos leaving the whole world wondering and assuming the worse for 17 days.

The rescue took almost a full day to accomplish once communication was established. Moreover, with the quick training and coordination of Luis Urzua is which helped the miners survived. Luis Urzua was the last member to come out of the hole. Chili has unstable mines, because of their frequent earthquakes. Therefore, with the impressive techniques and resources, Codelco, which is as state owned mining company, started drilling exploratory holes, eight to be exact. On the seventeenth day, one of the exploratory holes, where drilling was in process, they found a note attached to a drill bit.

...Introduction & Thesis Statement We have seen according to the International Shark Attack File “the number of unprovoked shark attacks has grown steadily since 1900, despite an overall decline in shark populations”. (Amin, 2012, p. 189) We walk through our negotiations to make it legal to hunt sharks and eliminate a threat to humans. A threat that is increasing as our world population’s increase. Shark attacks have affected, business, tourism, our safety, and could impact our health. Allowing us to fish for sharks, can eliminate a threat, we have lived with for hundreds of years. Body Today we meet to introduce Bill No. 6-142 into the senate. This will be recorded as our Fourth Regular Session. This bill has been created as an amendment to “Title 27 of the Palau National Code to prohibit foreign fishing vessels from fishing within a 50 nautical mile radius to the east of the reef entrance to Malakal Harbor; to prohibit foreign fishing vessels from taking reef fish, turtles, rays, sharks,” (Techera, 2012, p. 6) If this bill is passed we will be putting unnecessary lives at the risk. We have discussed the arguments we need to punish “any person who is found by the Supreme Court in a civil proceeding to have committed an act prohibited by section 181 of this title shall be liable to the national government for a civil penalty which shall not exceed $500,000 for each violation.” (Techera, 2012, p. 6) These fishermen would be protecting the lives of numerous individuals...

...of October 2, 1968. Ten days before the Olympic Games, a group of 10,000 students decided to protest against the government’s oppression. Unfortunately the government sent the army to control the event and opened fire on the group of students and killed hundreds of them. All those innocent lives killed ten days before the opening ceremony of the 1968 Summer Olympic Games made a lot of noise in Mexico but also in the whole world. At that time, the Mexican propaganda controlled the media and let the citizens know that the group of students was hostile to the army, which explained the actions of the president and therefor the soldiers. The official paperwork was only available to the public in 2000. These documents got Gustavo Diaz Ordaz and Luis Echeverria, the Mexican president and his interior minister at that time in a lot of trouble, not only after the massacre but also after the publication of the government’s documents. The book I chose is Massacre in Mexico (“La Noche de Tlatelolco”) written by Elena Poniatowska. The book takes place in Mexico City during the year of 1968. During this period, Mexico has many political repressions. At this time it is also a year of searching and aspirations by students and the labor sector as well. This book is a collection of testimonies about the student massacre that occurred on October 2nd, 1968. It relates the thoughts and the feeling of the people in favor of the student movement but also the point of view of couple of people against...

...Land Without Bread by Luis Bunuel There are numerous ethnographic surrealist films that have an intriguing relationship to aesthetics and politics. A film that exemplifies this relationship is “Las Hurdes: Tierra Sin Pan” (Land Without Bread). This film is only 27-minutes and is directed by the infamous Luis Bunuel in 1933. Bunuel was a Spanish filmmaker of the 1920’s to the 1970’s. He is often attributed to being one of the major contributors to the surrealist movement of the 1920’s. “Ethnographic surrealism is a utopian construct, a statement at once about past and future possibilities for cultural analysis.”(Clifford, 119) ‘Land Without Bread’ has a clear connection between politics and aesthetics. It uses many techniques, specifically the narrator and soundtrack, in order to enhance the ostensible political meaning of the film as well as link it to the ethnographic surrealist movement. Many ethnographic surrealist artists turned their attention to the problem of representing otherness. “Bunuel identified what he saw as a Surrealist tendency to “use” bourgeois society’s ‘other’s’ to negate the cultural status quo while never giving these others their due”(Lastra, 55). Land Without Bread is considered one of the earliest forms of ethnographic surrealism. Fatimah Rony describes Ethnographic cinema as “above all a cinema of the body: the focus is on the anatomy and gestures of the indigenous person, and on the body of the land they inhabit”(Rony, 111). While many film scholars...
