First class of grammar review

In this post I will describe a couple of things we learned from grammar in English the last class, with a book that Catherine shared with us. In class we have done some exercises with the book: English for aircraft. We started with part 1 of the book that explains the order of the words, since in English the keyword you want to describe is at the end of the sentence. For example: air used to cool hot air is: cooling air. We have also learned that the position of the object that we are going to describe goes to the beginning of the sentence. For example: inner marker light.  Another topic that we have learned during classes with the English book are words that indicate position such as: in, on, in to, along... And how to use these words correctly like "Insert the engine into the casing" or "the cabin lights run along the ceiling". All these words, I already knew them before but it could be that I wasn't as clear as using them. It may be that my mistake wh...

Gender discrimination

With this poster that my colleagues and I have made we wanted to analyze: first of all the number of women who have studied in Globalia formation, the studies that we are doing. We have also analyzed where this great imbalance between men and women could come from, and that in the last seven years only six women have studied this vocational course. Another issue that we have analyzed is the difference in salary that exists between the two genders. Finally, we have found possible solutions and acts that are carried out to promote equality between men and women at work.  The idea of ​​making this poster came up to see a couple of films, it was based on the real stories, the themes of the topics they talk about, the inequality between people of different skin color, or people of different gender. Racial discrimination is an issue that we find in many films, especially in North American, which is where this type of discrimination most exists for many years. The history of North ...

The ultimate toolbox

Since I was child I always liked to disassemble anything. I consider myself a skillful person with the tools. It has never been difficult for me to assemble an ikea furniture. My first job was at 15 with a motorcycle that my parents gave me, and I dind't have a driving license, I decided to take it apart to fix it. In all the jobs that I have done I have always lacked tools. For this reason we have designed a toolbox that puts at your disposal any tool you may need and some that you think you will never use, but you will end up using it. For this reason we have designed a toolbox that puts at your disposal any tool you may need and some that you think you will never use, but you will end up using it.

Price: 10,95$ A ratchet wrench that you do not need sockets to use, fits any hex head screw. Price: 18,87$ A screwdriver that already has all the tips integrated ...

Practices, a point to improve

Education has to be updated, because schools are giving the same education system for more than 100 years. The classes focus on a discourse of the teacher in front of a blackboard that can be conventional or digital, and the students at the end of the class or at the end of the subject, perform some exercises or exams on the subject that they have to memorize and that information will not take long time to disappear from their heads. It is very important that the classes are agile, with discussions between all the students and the teacher, to get the student to believe that they are the center of attention. Students learn more with images, specific cases , proceedings; than with a simple explanation of a teacher and a reading of a book. In addition, in the case that practices must be carried out, these should be a first contact totally real for the student to get used to the reality of this new work. The practices are very important, because everything in the theory is very simple, per...

Muromets: the first big plane

The Ilyá muromets or Sikorsky S-22, was a plane created by Igor Sikorsky as a luxury plane that was equipped with armchairs, beds and bathrooms. The first idea of ​​its creators was to be a passenger plane until the start of the first world war, where it was thought that it could be the first plane to load a large number of bombs and machine guns that would allow to be launched over the enemy field from a great height. It was an airplane with four engines located on the wings. The four engines allowed to increase the thrust which increase lift and lift more weight. Nowadays it can be a very simple idea, but at that time all airplanes had a single engine in the front. In addition, the four engines were placed as close to the fuselage of the plane to prevent, in case of failure of any engine, the uncontrol of the aircraft. Finally it was thought that if the size of the horizontal stabilizer was increased and two more stabilizers were added on the sides of the tail, they will great...

Racing drones

A Drone is a flying device controlled remotely by a person or a program to develop many types of functions. There are many types of drones but my favorites are the racing drones. These devices are controlled by people who use a control with two joysticks and glasses where you can see in real time what is in front of the drone. Be careful if you are a person with vertigo or fear of speed. The device is normally built by four high performance electric motors that provide support and addressability to the device; a battery that gives electrical energy; a camera that allows you to control the drone as if you were inside and some circuits that control the motors and send the video signal to the glasses. There are a variety of forms of these devices: with more engines, with steerable propellers or even amphibious water-air. They are devices that don't allow a great time of flight, but can reach speeds of up to 130 kilometers per hour. Their flight range doesn't reach a kilometer aw...
