My hobbies

Hi my friends! Today I´m going to talk you about my hobbies. Well I have a lot of hobbies... there are a million of things that I like to do. For example I like to sing, to dance, and my favorite hobbie is play the piano. When I was a little girl always I was singing or dancing! my mom tells me that my favorite song was "the puppy dance" and I dressed me with a mini skirt and danced for all my family... with only three years old!!. With respect to sing.. I love to sing!!I sing since 4 years old approximately, but only when I was 10 years old I know of my true talent. In secundary I joined to choir of my school.I with my choir participated in a lot of contests like "Crecer cantando" and "Festival de coros Andres Bello" We always were clasificates but we never won... I was in choir until 2008, and I was very sad when I had to left it. I left it when I finished secundary. Well I told you that my favorite hobbie was play the piano. I started to play piano at 14 years old. For play piano is necessary have agile fingers and coordination for use both hands. These three hobbies have help me to developed my personality in relation to my humanistic and artistic areas, I have met new people.. developing my sociability. The dance and sing make me get in touch with other people, for example in dance I can have a partner or a group for dance... but when I play piano I work individually or sometimes I play with my sister. She plays piano too.
I hope always can practice my hobbies... but actually I have little time.. because the university deals me my free times.

Well dear friends.... kisses and take care :)
Bye!!!

Scientists harvest stem cells from placentas for future treatments

link: http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2009/jun/23/stem-cells-placenta-cord-blood

The last years scientists have been working in an important health advance. It consists in use placentas after birth because it have cells that can be used for try a lot of complicated diseases like: thalassaemia, leukaemia and sickle cell disease.

Frans Kuypers (of the Children's Hospital and Research Centre) and his team found that placenta contained up to five times as many as cord blood.

There are a lot of types of stem cell and the most versatiles come from embryos .. but there is a big ethical problem in use embryo´s stem cells because some believe that is a crimen ( because they´re killing a life.). However adults have stem cells too...for example in bone marrow...but this cells there aren´t pluripotent like embryos cell... there are multipotent. ( pluripotent cell gives origin at all type of cell.. and multipotent cell gives origin at cells of the same lineage).

Also Kuypers showed that placent had the same characteristics of cord blood, however in placents cells are more primitive, meaning they are more versatile.. A good new is that every time more parents take the decition of freeze the cord blood of their newborn children with the hope that it might one day prove useful for treatments.

A sporting life

hi friends!!...I want to tell you about the importance of sport. I never has been a atletic girl, but I recognize that for have a healthy life, body needs practice any deportive activity...because when you practice a sport ..you are relaxing your body and mind. It would be perfect that every people will practice sports, but only a few are reasone. Practicing differents sport, you can improve your healthy, improve your metabolism, reduce the probability of heart´disease like infarcts, reduce problems of cholesterol, prevent obesity, and the most important relax no only your body, also your mind, forgetting the problems for a moment.
The impact that may sport have on a country's health is fantastic!...If every people in the future will practice a minimun physical activity, one day for week, for example dance, Jogging, walk ( no take locomotion)... healthy problems reduce incredibly in the world, but this is very difficult for now....

I would encourage to do more sport for children because is in childhood when the people acquires habits... if I teach to a child to dofunny gymnastics everydays, he learn that this is the correct, and also like something entertaining.

I don´t know if in the future we will have better sports people, because this depends of the motivation of each person. clearly the love for the sport can have a genetic factor, but mainly the passion for a deport or a physical activity borns of the own motivation.

Try to practice sport!!! Do it for you and for the others..!!!!
