Story Number One from our Mexican Ambassadors.....

Hello Mexico Friends!  We asked our ambassadors to share a stereotypical story about what they thought of Mexico...... 

How much of what they shared is actually true?

Carla smoothed her long skirt as she finished dancing at the street festival.  She returned home for lunch with her many siblings.  They had homemade burritos and Carla was on her way.  She went to a hat dance at the street festivals.  Everyone wore big sombreros and the men had big mustaches.  When the dance started, Mariachi music blasted out.  Everyone got partners and started dancing.  Carla received a free sombrero for dancing the best.  She walked the streets with her friends and ate a churro.  Carla returned home after a wonderful day!

Anthem Story. Mexico and Canadá

                                        "The Dreamt  Anthem"

Once upon a time there were two countries who were trying to decide how would it be their national anthem. Those countries were Mexico and Canada. They thought that it would be an amazing national symbol to have an anthem. Both were working together to create 1 different hymn for each country, but they could do just one hymn, they didn't decide who will take it. They tried everything to agree but it didn't work . Time after,  Mexico used that anthem for their Flag's day. Canada got mad so they attacked Mexico and a terrible fight began. 

Time after, during the war, a Mexican girl noticed what was happening between this two countries so she decided to go to Canada to find a solution for the problem. When she arrived, she saw a girl fighting with a politician at the airport so she interposed to see what was happening there. 

-What's happening here?- She asked.
-Canada and Mexico are in war and nobody do anything!-The girl said.
-We can't! The war would not stop until we decide which country would conserve the anthem.-The politician repeated.
-Come on! We should do something now!- The Mexican girl said.
-Go away girls! There's anything you can do to solve this!-The politician said while he left.

The two girls were alone and both were so angry.

-I can't believe it.- Said the girl.
-I know it's terrible! 
-And... How do you know about the war?-she asked.
-I'm from Mexico, I came here because I want this war to stop and I'm looking for something I can do about it. -Answered the girl.
-That's nice, I would like to do some thing too. May I join you?-Asked the girl.
-Of course you may! I can't fight alone!- Said the Mexican with happiness.
-What's your name?-Asked the girl.
-I'm Maya.- she answered. 
-I'm Shannon.-Said the girl.

Both girls talked and talked about this war. They really wanted to help. But...how can two young girls can stop a war? 

-Okay I have an idea.- Maya said.- There's only one 1 anthem, and there are 2 countries fighting for it, right?- She asked.
-Right...- answered Shannon.
-So what if there were 2 hymns?- Asked Maya.
-Well, the war will end because there's and anthem for each country.-answered Shannon.-You are a GENOUS!.
-Well, I am! So, what do you say? Do we create a new anthem?-asked Maya.
-OMG! This is amazing, finally we find a way to solve this problem.

At the beginning it wasn't easy for the girls to wrote an original national anthem, but they worked very hard until they could. Finally after long nights and terrible days, they did it! They wrote an amazing and beautiful anthem! Immediately they went with the government and told them what they achieved. The government was amazed with the work of two young girls. Finally they stayed with their own national anthem. 

Because of this two girls, the fight finished, and both countries could stay pacific and comfortable with their anthem.

We love Canada and Mexico

Canada is a beautiful place to stay,

It's a place to explore all day.

You can go to Mexico and eat a taco,

and go to the house of my friend Paco.

The guys in Canada are very friendly,

but cross the street without watching could be very deadly.

In Canada there are a lot of cultures,

and in Mexico there is infrastructure.

Come and visit us a little while,

and we'll make a party with a friend of mine.

The Grand Mexinada

The Grand Mexinada

Mexico & Canada, two big countries,

They don't mess with your aunties.

United by the U.N.,

They won't kill for anything.

Mexico has Petrol, Canada has diamond

Cause I am not a poet,

The luxury is with Hayamon.

When we enter a party, we will open the door,

And when they enter, we will roll on floor.

Canada is lovely, Mexico too,

So let me finish this poem with a woohoohoohoohoo!

"An Amazing Mash-Up"

Canada is a beautiful place, 

It is full of love and amazing friends.

Mexico is awesome too,

You can find delicious food.

When Canadian people come,

They will stay at our homes, 

So we can have a lot of fun!

Both are the best countries in the world, 

Together we create an amazing mash-up!

Fincionamientos del ojo humano

En general, los ojos funcionan como unas cámaras fotográficas sencillas. La lente del cristalino forma en la retina una imagen invertida de los objetos que enfoca y la retina se corresponde con la película sensible a la luz.

Existen muchos tipos de problemas oculares los cuales mencionaremos :

Halos

Visión borrosa (pérdida de la agudeza visual y la incapacidad para visualizar pequeños detalles)

Cataratas

una opacidad sobre el cristalino del ojo que conduce a tener una visión pobre en la noche, halos alrededor de las luces y sensibilidad al resplandor.

La solución para las Cataratas hoy en día es muy sencilla y eficaz, prácticamente se ha convertido en una intervención rutinaria para los cirujanos especializados en Oftalmólogía. No obstante, dado que mucha gente tiene miedo o desconfía de los médicos tienden a buscar remedios naturales.

El ojo humano

                                              "El ojo humano" 

El sentido de la vista en las personas tiene un funcionamiento complejo y necesita de dos elementos básicos: El ojo y el cerebro.

La luz es el tercer elemento más destacado en la visión. Sin ella somos incapaces de ver. Es la que penetra en nuestros ojos para que el cerebro forme la imagen.

Existen muchos tipos de problemas oculares y perturbaciones visuales entre las cuales se pueden mencionar: 

•Halos

•Visión borrosa (pérdida de la agudeza visual.)

•Puntos ciegos  o escotomas ("agujeros" oscuros en el campo visual) 

•Presbiopía (dificultad para enfocar objetos que están cerca.)

•Cataratas (una opacidad sobre el cristalino del ojo que conduce a tener una visión pobre en la noche.)

Las gafas son el método más cómodo y sencillo para corregir los problemas visuales. Entre los 6 y los 12 años se puede empezar a adaptar una lente de contacto a los niños que lo requieran. La cirugía refractiva no es recomendable para los niños porque a una edad temprana el ojo no ha alcanzado su grado óptimo de maduración.
