Sherlock Holmes Stories
This is the first time that I read about Sherlock Homes, after one or two of these stories I understand that it have to be a big mistake because the majority of those stories are amazing. The stories were wrote by Watson the best friend of Holmes and he describes the adventures in an excellent way that you can imagine every detail.
As I Said the majority of the stories that we read for tis fisrt part, I like but I have to metion only two, the best and the worst for me.
I am going to start with the one that I didn´t like, well I like it but I didn´t find it as interesting than the other, is one called "The Man with the Twisted Lip". This story is about a beggar that used to be a reporter for a newspaper but when he found that he can get more mony as a beggar he changed her proffession, but he used a disguise to cover his appereance, one they his wife thought he had been murdered in an opium house, but the true was that he was working there, the police confused him and take to jail. It was surprising how Holmes obtain the really story, but it was not as fantastic than others, the story was so weak.
The story that I really enjoy is one called "the final problem", it´s very interesting because the mistery and the danger appears since the beggining, because Sherlock Holmes was afraid and the story was really different because he was in danger, a very intelligent criminal was her enemy and Holmes had to scape but at the same time he had a personal crisis because he thought that if he can´t stop to this criminal his life hadn´t sense. The way that Watson describe the datails and the way that Holmes scape were really good, but the best part was the end when Watson told us that Holmes died, a big disaster, since in the next story ("The Empty House") you discover that he didn´t die he only was sike and the ones that really dioed was the criminal.
I really recomended those stories because the stories were full of adventures, mistery surprise and an excellent description way taht give you good entreteiment for a while.

Sexism in the City
As one of only a handful of women in her office, the girl on the podcast says she was known as 'airbags', a reference to her breasts. She joins Jenni to discusses the challenge of tackling sexism in The City, along with Sarah Bond, who works for city firm KPMG, and Andrea Nicholls, an employment lawyer.
The conversation was concentrated in the way of industry workers and how woman life is depending on the kind of job they have or the envioroment in the work place or the relation between employes clients and coworkers.
One of the speakers said that it was kind of hard to get out from her job or the industry,because in certantly point she have enjoy the time she last on it, but on her opinion there must be a balance between work and family and keep it that way is not easy so she prefers to get out of that area; as in the programm is mentioned it is a comun posibility,unless you are someone young because is easier to focus on succes than in family and although man thinks that woman are less ambitious. This comment is a big mistake, thinking in that way it just that there are other circunstances involved in woman`s jobs.
The relation that females employees have with their clients is too different than the relation that man have, of course because clients´ behavior plays and important role.
The reporters proposed an example where a client invits a famAle worker to have some drinks into a nigth club and they think that in some cases this situation could be undignity as the reporter mention by the pass of the amount of alcohol they consume the famale employee`s risks increase so is recomendable to drink less that male clients;it show the difference between a men work apointment and a woman ones,but siriusly talking some of flearting can help for close a big and important proyect or gat a big account, so women has a tool than men doesn`t have.
In conclution is a very good option to afront this problem and it`s recomended for female workers to speak out about any disturb on her own,also it`s very accuard to have a touft place of work so try to make a more comfortable place of it for woman who work.

Hubblesite
The site that you recommended us is amazing, it contents a lot of interesting information about the space, to me, the most interesting part is one that talks about black holes.Before I visited this site I almost have an idea about these "places" on the space, but there´re some interesting points that I like to share:The first time that someone discuss about a black hole was in the 18th century!!!There´s a special way to identificate a black hole, because they donýt emmit any lightAstronomers can calcuate the mass of a hole, measuringthe speed at wich stars move in the vicinity of the hole.One of the nearest black hole is on the Andromedas Galaxy and is heavier than the sun!If we could send an explorer into a black hole, he could never communicate back to us.
Another amazing thing on this site is the way you can visit Andromeda and of course the black hole, it´s a complete journey.At the same time you can have a great look of the planets, stars an in generla of the space, Andromeda is not the only black hole that youcan see in this site.
I recommended it, too!!

Fish Oils and Supplements
This episode of health make reference to the claims of the public about the "miracles" of the oil fish and the "magic" properties ot it. The report talks about an experiment that have been made in a school because they want to prove that the oil fish and supplements improve the behavior and the brain power. On this experiment the doctors gave to the children fish tablets and explain that the principal ingredient that help to improve the learn activities is "Omega 3".
In my personal opinion I think that there isn´t a magic food, it´s only that according to our daily food we receive differents nutriments that help to especific parts of our body.
In Copnclusion the reporter said that even some of the students that were on the experiment improve their analize on reading when they started with the fish tablets, but with the poor results that they have nowadays they can´t said that it funtion in all the bodies.

You and Yours - Health
BBC Radio 4
During the last years the alcoholism became a danger for younger people that doesn´t know the effects of drinking in excess. That´s why, on the last weeks on France a certain group of people began to request for health information on the bottles of wine as we can find on the package of cigarettes.
As a recomendation on the new they said that drinking is not exactly a dangerous habit until a person drink in excess that´s the main reason for the campaigners to ask about the warnings, because only a little part of the community knows about the danger and the risk, for example to the pregnant women. On the other hand the wine producers reacted showing to the public the wine´s benefits and argueing with the diference between alcohol and cigarettes.
In conclusion, the changes in the solds can be important if the people and the doctors doesm´t have good information about the alcohol but everytime a good warning can save some lifes and at the end everybody is free to decide what and how much is going to drink.

The dark history of the food cheats
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/podcasts/yyhealth/
You and Yours - Health
BBC Radio 4
The new I listen is so interesting because is a presentation of a book that talks about food adulteration with a little view of the subject over the centuries.Nowadays is an important subject because sometimes we didn´t know if we can trust in our food, because we can catch an stomach illness or something worst.
But wich is the problem?
According to the book´s writter swindlers have tampered with our food throughout history. From the leaded wine of ancient Rome, to the food piracy of the 21st century. A clear evidence is a book of food adulteration that appeared on 1820. Food has been padded, poisoned, spiked, coloured, substituted, and faked, science and pollution could be the principal player in this story.They mentioned as an example coffee and sweets, because there´s a lot of worried parents that think that poisson sweets affected children behavior. It could be possible and the “guilty” is from the colors that the producers use to elaborate it, in the coffee they give the example of the milk with contaminate water.
The advice of the new and of these two examples teach us that we have to read the information of the package to know what we are eating, to protect ourselves. Because despite all the rules we can find cheaters in every market.
