The afternoon was so gloomy and dull, just as you feel when you have a broken heart... I was thinking of my favorite songs for these moments when you feel discouraged and I remembered one of my fav chick flicks(= pelis pochocleras)
Bridget Jones' diary and its opening song: ALL BY MYSELF.
Some years later the song was included in GLEE!!!
So, the challenge is this: CAN YOU ACTUALLY DIE FROM A BROKEN HEART???? A 10 for the first person who can answer this with his/her words, without copying and pasting!!!!
In case you want to hear the whole version of the song included in the episode 17 of season 2 of GLEE by the unique voice of Charice Pempengco, here you go
Hi people!!!!! How are you doing??
Let me remind you of the NEW groups for the practical work. It's girls versus boys this time!
GROUP 1:Gerbaudo- Fernandez Jorba- Fagoaga- Yusim- Castiglioni
GROUP 2: Lanfranchi- Lamanna- Espíndola-Burone- Vargas
GROUP 3: Williams- Amagliani- Ghio- Obiglio- Debortoli- De Aguirre
GROUP 4: Alegre- Girado- Sarcos- Uezen Bozzi- Crotto- Tshubarov- Montivero
Next Monday (May 25) we are dissecting the heart!!!!
So, first of all, let me clarify some rules for the lab:
Safety Rules in the Laboratory
1.During
experiments, listen carefully to instructions and follow them as exactly as you
can. In case of confusion or uncertainty, ask questions! Performing
unauthorized experiments will not be tolerated.
2.No
horseplay will be tolerated.
3.Never
eat in lab or drink out of glassware. Never taste or smell anything unless you
are given specific directions to do so.
4.Any
injury, major or minor (cut, burn, etc.), must
be reported to the teacher at once. Put cold water on burns first. Chemical
spills should be washed off immediately with water. Know the location of all
laboratory safety equipment. Chemicals in the eyes must be flushed immediately
with the eyewash. Hold the eye open, rotate the eyeball, and continue washing
for 10-15 minutes.
5.Do
not touch equipment without permission. All unauthorized experimentation is
strictly forbidden. This includes all chemicals, models, or apparatus. Complete
all pre-lab work. Don’t do any lab procedures until approved by instructor.
6.When
heating a test tube, always point the open end away from you and others. It
should be at a slant rather than straight up in most cases.
7.If
glass is broken, the teacher should be informed immediately. Students should
not handle broken glass; teachers will dispose of broken glass.
8.Dispose
of all materials as per instruction. Do not assume that all liquids go down the
sink!
9.Dissection
equipment can only be used on specimens. Any misuse of dissection tools will result
in disciplinary action.
10.Before
class will be dismissed, all equipment and sinks must be clean, and desktops
must be clean and dry.
If the above guidelines are not followed, you may not be
allowed to participate in the lab and may not receive credit for the activity.
Here you have a video on how to keep it safe in the lab:
I'm including the video on dissection for Group number 4 responsible for teaching us how to open a heart (ALL THE MEMBERS OF THE GROUP SHOULD KNOW EVERYTHING TO ANSWER QUESTIONS) VIDEO 1
VIDEO 2
VIDEO 3
We will need some material for our experience
* HEART (cow, pig or sheep) PLEASE, ENCARGUEN EL CORAZON AL CARNICERO CON ANTICIPACION PORQUE NO ES UN PRODUCTO QUE TENGAN TODO EL TIEMPO
You must bring it to school in a lunch box
* LATEX GLOVES ( Each group can buy a box of gloves to have them for later experiments)
* SCALPEL - Two per group (you can buy them at the drustores near the Faculty of Medicine.- Farmacia Rex, for example)
*WIPING TOWEL to clean the table after the experiment
* KNOWLEDGE about circulatory system
* YOUR OWN HEART filled with energy for a new experience
Well, this was at least the situation back in January 2015!!!
Measles was confirmed in 59 California residents.
Additionally, there were a handful of related cases in Utah, Washington,
Colorado, Oregon, and Mexico—bringing the 2015 total to 67, according to the California Department of Public Health.
The patients in California ranged in age between seven months and 70
years, and at least 28 of them were unvaccinated. But that wasn’t all by
choice: Six are infants who were too young to receive the shot. The
first dose of the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine
is typically given to children 12 months or older, with the second dose
administered before they start kindergarten around age five. Of the confirmed cases, 42 were linked to Disneyland or Disney California Adventure Park in Orange County.
Measles is a highly contagious viral disease that spreads rapidly
through the air from coughing and sneezing. The initial exposures
occurred in December, but additional confirmed cases visited the parks
while they were infectious in January. Less than two weeks ago, only nine cases were confirmed in this California-centered outbreak.
Because there are also cases where the patients haven’t visited
Disneyland—or any venues where travelers congregate, such as other
amusement parks and airports—the health department recommends that
measles be considered in any patient with clinically compatible symptoms
at this time. It usually starts with a fever that lasts a couple
of days, followed by coughing, runny nose, pink eye, and a rash that
appears on the face, hairline, behind the ears, and eventually the
entire body.
The U.S. experienced a record number of measles cases in 2014, with 644 cases in 27 states, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That’s the greatest number of cases since measles elimination was documented in the country in 2000.

Hi, people!!! Ideal rainy afternoon for a post! After our class on Thursday, I´ve been surfing the net to find some videos that can help you understand the relationship between surface area and volume. This is a key concept to understand absorption in every part of our bodies.
So, less talking and more doing!!!
In the first video, a Biology teacher explains why cells are so small
We saw this video in class aboutthe implications of the surface area to volume ratio (=proporción) in cells
This is an interesting video to review the mecanisms of transport of substances IN and OUT the cells
To review ENZYMES
If you need material to review DIGESTIVE SYSTEM, there you go!
