How find my neighborhood in Medellin?

It is very easy finding my neighborhood in Medellin; you only need to be in the center of the city after find my neighborhood called Prado Centro. The building where I live  is in Prado Centro, it is on the corner of the Carabobo Avenue and the Moore Street, it is in front of the Church of Jesus of Nazareth, it is near of the SIU [Sede de investigación Universitaria] as you can see in the map.

 

 

Some nearby places of my neighborhood are Deseos Park; to eight blocks from my building, The University of Antioquia  is six blocks from my building and North Park, Botanical garden Park and Explora Park  are  ten blocks from my building. The University Hospital is two blocks from my building and Medicine Faculty U of A it is only to one block from my building. Behind to my building there are many mortuaries, a High School and a bakery. My building it is called San Juan del Corral, next to my building there is a restaurant called Mario’s chickens. Also next to other side of my building there is a shop of florist and near a neighborhood store. Finally the train station called Prado is  four blocks from my building.

 

A SHORT STORY OF A STROLL

I traveled on my motorcycle with my mother when unfortunately the tire got flattened, we went in a jungle for one hour out of the town. Fortunately, my mother knows some farmers that lived in the zone near where we were, we walked for 1 km and found a house, immediately my mother call a friend who worked beside the house. He came to where we were, greeted and asked. What do you need? We answered that we needed some tools and patches to repair the tire. Then, he quickly sought in a drawer and lend out our tools and patches. With these tools and patches it was easy to repair the spoilt tire. After a few minutes the tire was repaired and we were very grateful with the man, we said goodbye and we continued our travel quickly because we needed  to arrive  to our house before the sundown because our motorcycle didn´t have lights.

My life when I lived in Santiago Putumayo

I lived in Santiago Putumayo for 20 years. I grew in this town and enjoyed all my childhood in farms, in my town and played many games with others children. I loved the dishes of many foods of my land for example I liked a dish of cuy, a dish of mote and a dish of creoles roster, mmmm each one of these dishes were very delicious. When I was 8 I learned milking the cows and enjoyed very much working with livestock. When I was 7 I learned to drive bicycle, when I was 11 I learned to drive a motorcycle and when I was 12 I learned to drive my father's truck. I enjoyed very much drove because I liked seeing the geography of my country. When I was 7 I began to study in the school and when I was 17 I finished my studies in my high school.

I’ve cooked a meal for my parents but never cooked a meal for a lot people. Sometimes I worked in farms of our neighbors and many times I worked with my parents in our lands. I’ve helped to my grandparents when they were sick but never had I helped another person’s because I didn’t have the opportunity.

Many times I enjoyed of the Canaval of my comunity Inga.

History of a theft in a trip

Yesterday a woman was in a trip with her son and while they traveled in a point of their way she saw that many buses stopped and it was near midnight.  Suddenly all travelers knew that they were in a hold-up, immediately this woman called the police and waited that the police arrives soon. Unfortunately the thieves approached the bus where the woman traveled and they forced travelers to abandon all their belongings. These thieves robbed this woman a cell phone, a photographic camera and all her money that she had, but fortunately her son had in a bag a computer and money, but these wicked men didn’t rob to child. The thieves got off  quickly of the bus and all passengers were much afraid because these thieves had guns and knives. When the police arrived to the crime scene the environment was quietly and  the policemen didn’t find the thieves. Then the police ordered to all drivers to continue their way. All these things happened yesterday and fortunately nobody were hurt.

Induction Motor

 

 

The Induction motor was invented by Nikola Tesla who was a great inventor in the centuries XIX and XX. The induction motor is also known as asynchronous motor these are A.C. motors, these types of motors generate electrical energy  or can work with  currents oscillating A.C. depending of the objective of  its use   while the D.C. motors consist on generators that  establish  currents continuous, meaning that the currents has the same direction every time  but can change its magnitude or has continuous magnitude for some time, all these things depends of the source and these type of motors can  also employed in generation of currents D.C. or many other applications with currents D.C. REMARK. A D.C. motor  is different to a A.C motor. When we say alternating currents A.C, this means the change of direction of the currents i.e. these currents has a direction in some instant of time and another direction in other instant of time. This behavior is illustrated in the next graphic.

 

These AC motors are used in industrial drives because they are rugged, reliable and economical.

 

The induction generator or asynchronous generator is a particular induction motor to produce power from mechanic energy transformed on electrical energy, these are used in the generation of electrical energy. Thanks of these types of motors Nikola Tesla thought on generating alternating  currents and used these currents in the electric energy transmit. All these things happened in 1893 in a public exhibition in Chicago, with this exhibition Nikola Tesla demonstrated the higher power of the alternating currents because before the cost of energy transmit were very expensive because  were used continuous currents D.C. and the wires were very widths. With the alternating currents Tesla only needed thin wires and the efficiency on transmit energy electrical was higher and cheaper than the cost by transmit electrical energy with continuous currents D.C. Today this system of transmit power A.C. it is used in all the world for the reasons that are  explained in this text.  Additionally the induction motor today is used in many works as in the kitchens with the use of the blenders and mixers and many others appliances and tools in the industry. 

 

Nikola Tesla (1856-1943)

 

The people in the scientist world say that Tesla invented in all your life more of 300 patents and many of these were discover after the dead of Tesla. Today many of these patents everybody knows its existence.

My Uncle Ramiro and my Mother Maria

I admire my uncle Ramiro as much as my mother. My mother lives in Santiago Putumayo and my uncle lives in San Francisco Putumayo and Ramiro is Maria’s brother. They are great farmers and the people of Santiago Putumayo say that my mother is the best farmer in my town Santiago Putumayo and the people of San Francisco say that my uncle Ramiro is the best farmer in these town. Ramiro is taller and younger than Maria. They are thinner than I am and they work very hard in their fields and they are better at livestock than I am. My uncle always say: "My sister is the most careful person I know", this is true because my mom pays much attention to everything in her work, she is careful with livestock and wait that all be well.

 

When I was a farmer find some works of fields more difficult than others and my mother together with me worked very hard. After I sold my land and decided studying. I always remember my mother and my uncle Ramiro because they taught many things about the life and about work.  It is for this reason that I admire them.

Public University versus Private University

Sculpture in the University of Antioquia

 

In Colombia there are two system of high education that are public and private. As everybody knows, the public education is finance for the state starting with schools until universities. In the case of the universities on Colombia obtain the best positions Public Universities for example the National University of Colombia (in Bogota city) on the first place with a score of 126.75 after the University of Antioquia (in Medellin city) with a score of 67.57, University of Valle (in Cali city) with a score of 45.23 and the National University of Colombia (in Medellin city) with a score of 39.31 obtain the second, third and fourth place respectively;  i.e. that the most innovate city of the world that is Medellin has two the best universities of Colombia. On the other hand the best private universities of Colombia are Pontificia Javeriana University (in Bogota) with a score of 44.65 and University of the Andes (In Bogota) with a score of 42.08 are the main Universities of Colombia for the high education.

Now I comment some things that are very important, advantages and disadvantages.

1) For those who want to study on the one private university, he must have much money because the private education on Colombia is more expensive than public education starting with the schools, high school until Universities.

2). With one view of the records, I can to say that the best Universities of Colombia are Public Universities starting with National University of Colombia (in our capital city of Bogota) after our University of Antioquia (In the most innovate city that is Medellin) and University of Valle (in the beauty city of Cali).

Library University of Antioquia.

 

3) The poor people only have two options that are: or study on the public University with a credit of Icetex or study on a private University also with a credit of Icetex. The difference is that the credit of Icetex for study on a public university is cheaper than a credit for study on a private University since on a Public university only need money for stay, already that the costs of registration are very cheaper while if you to be study on a private university is need pay stay more the expensive cost of the registration at these universities.

4). There are many universities in Colombia but if you seek will be in the best university of Colombia I recommend that study in one of this universities Public that listen in this text. It is necessary to be very smart.

5) For my experience I tell that the environment in the public university is one of the friendliest environments that I stayed because the people are friendly, modest, responsible, disciplined and optimistic. I don’t know how the environments on a private University as, but my experience of study in a public university I tell to you that is one the best experiences in my life.

Students in the library University of Antioquia

This is all I wished to tell to you.

The city of eternal spring versus the surprise city

In Colombia we can find many cities for to know, cities with diversities of mores. In this occasion I want to talk about the city where I live and the city where I lived many things when I was a Child. The two cities are the eternity spring city that is Medellin where I live now and the surprise city that is Pasto very near my town Santiago Putumayo. Now I’m study Mathematics at the Universidad de Antioquia in Medellin and know many places in this city, some very interesting and others no much. Also I remember many experiences when I was a child that lived on the city of Pasto. Now I am going to compare these two cities according to my ideas and thougth, looks advantages and disadvantages.

1)      In this year (2013) Medellin obtain a prize how the most innovate city of the world, Medellin competed with others important cities of the world by obtain this prize and fortunately Medellin was winner.  This proved that Medellin is the best city in Colombia and also the best city in the world obviously.

2)      But Medellin has some things that are not beautiful, for example, some streets are always dirtier while in others places of Medellin the streets are cleanest. This problem affects the image of the city because one can think that all the streets of Medellin are cleaner but problems as the indigence affects the image of Medellin. Pasto is a city in the south of Colombia; I remember that when I was a child Pasto had some problems with the image of the city but the governmental entities with the pass of years have transformed the image of a dirty city to a cleaner city. I think that Medellin needs pay attention to these problems.

3)      Medellin is bigger than Pasto, I think that is very difficult to have all things in order but this city has more technological parks than Pasto because Explora park, Botanical Garden, north Park, lights park are parks that representing science, nature, technology and investigation, because in each one of these parks one can find near a library. For example explora Park is a Park of the science, technology with other things.

4)      Medellin has buildings that are more modern than some buildings in Pasto. For example Medellin has modern library parks while in Pasto there not many  library parks.

5)      Pasto is cheaper than Medellin because many products are produced in the near towns to Pasto for example my town produced milk, corn, tomato, beans and potatoes that to be sold in Pasto and others cities of Colombia. As Pasto is near to Ecuador many products are exported and imported, this favors the offers on many class of products.

6)      As the population in Pasto is much smaller than the population of Medellin, Pasto has more offers of products while Medellin has to import many products of the farms because these things represented more demand.  For this cause Medellin is more expensive than Pasto.

These are some things that I had in mind to comment, but I  love to Medellin and Pasto because these cities represents much for me.

Thanks.

Metropolitan Cathedral of Medellin

 

This is the Metropolitan Cathedral of Medellin, its construction began on January 15^th in 1875. When works began the construction presented many problems because the architect didn’t know sufficient  to develop this construction. How to Because of this the construction of the cathedral was suspended because it was not prudent to continue with the execution of the works. This is called the first phase.

 

After in the called second phase another person reformulated the project then the structural works finalized on May 24^th in 1917 but the construction aren’t finish because lacked details ornamentals.

 

Finally in 1952 thanks to Pablo Tobon Uribe this monumental building was completed with a great illumination that was designed by the house Rambusch Dec. (New York), factory founded in 1892.

Hello All,
 

My name is Jesus Jimmy Pejendino Burbano, I am 25 years old and I’m from Santiago Putumayo Colombia. I am a Mathematics student at the University of Antioquia in Medellin Antioquia. I must say that my lifestyle has been committed in its entirety to Mathematics; however, in the process I have discovered that I needed to learn English because it is essential for my career. In my past I didn’t pay much attention to this language; but now, I wan to be equipped and have the skills to manipulate the language and I know that with faith and love the results will be gratifying. In my free time I like to watch science documentaries, which exemplify the greatness of many scientists that I admire and were distinguished for their great contributions in mathematics, physics and chemistry between other sciences. I like listening to gospel music in gratitude to God for all his blessings on my life; I firmly believe in HIM and I have entrusted my entire life project in his hands. My hobby is reading stories (especially sciences) and when I am on vacation a like to spend the time with my father and enjoy the beautiful geography of my country. My favorite sports are cycling, athletics and work around the live stock.

These are some of my favorite movies and documentaries

 

The First Miracle

 

 

Fermat's Last Theorem

 

 

The Story of Electricity
