English 3, Post 5, 'A photo and its story'

 



I don't know who took this photo, but whoever did it recorded an iconic moment in rock (not everyone can afford to burn a stratocaster). You can see in the photo Jimi Hendrix burning his guitar at the end of the show, in a time where bands like "The Who" had popularized the practice of destroying their instruments.

It was an idea that came up before the show, where the band and their assistants wondered what they would do to get the attention of the press. One gave the idea, and they quickly went to get gasoline for the show. A risky presentation that nevertheless was successful, as it became news for the press and left an iconic image for the talented guitarist. 

Regardless of that, Jimi Hendrix is ​​known for being an icon in rock innovation in the 60s, presenting a music and a way of playing that had not been seen at the time, giving way to a new way of playing the instrument and inspiring to musicians to the present.

I like this photo because it immortalizes a time where new ideas would have happened and where hippie culture was at its highest point.

English 3, Post 8 (FINAL), 'Tell us about a subject you enjoy studying'

More than my favorite, the subject that teach me the most was "chemical laboratory techniques" taken in the first semester. It consisted of knowing how a laboratory works and there i learned to carry out my first experiments. For me it was the first time that i entered a laboratory and i was surprised how little i knew of this world. I really enjoyed with my classmates comparing results and seeing almost magical things that happened there. Everything surprised me.  However, i also had several mistakes and the teachers got quite angry at first. But little by little i was picking up the rhythm, and started to get more interested in the subject. I learned more than anything to be more orderly and pay more attention to details. Since any measurement error could result in a bad experiment. At this moment i think that maybe i should have paid more attention to basic indications that i needed in later laboratories. But i remember those times as joyful moments in my life.  A...

English 3, Post 7, "Tell us about an expert/person in your field that you admire."

In the area of ​​food engineering, i really feel that i don't know much to admire someone. But considering that for the next semester i can be in the career of sound engineering, i prefer to talk about this topic if i may.  This time im going to talk about Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville, a French printer born in 1817 and the inventor of the first device capable of recording sound, the phonoautograph, dating from the year 1857. A device capable of transcribing sound to a visible medium. Basically by means of a system that had a horn that collected the waves and through a trace graph the sound. The only problem is that the sound could not be played again. And the interesting thing is that the inventor was not really interested in reproducing the sound again. He just wanted to analyze the traces left by the sound. Maybe he did not realize what he had in his hands and how this would initiate a change in the future of communications. A few years later, Thomas Edis...

English 3, Post 4, "A meal or Food you really like"

 Well, i have never thought much about my favorite foods, but i must say that when i was little i really liked sweet flavors. Cakes, pastries and cookies were my greatest pleasure. My mother always prepared these delicacies and i enjoyed them a lot.  However, when i grew up, the salty flavors became more important to me, maybe because i felt they took away my hunger more consistently than cookies, especially in college, where the long days made me feel hungrier than usual. More than a favorite food, i like a specific season because of the foods that are cooked in it, and it happens on national holidays. I love roasts, empanadas, choripanes, mote with huesillos and Chilean salad and the festive atmosphere surrounding these meals. I know they are not the healthiest preparations for health, but hey! September is only once a year :D
