Each student group was responsible for creating a video or in class presentation about a cultural element of an assigned country. In the presentation, students should briefly explain the history of topic and area, need to know information, and if possible, a small demonstration.
Primitive Technology: Freshwater Prawn Trap
I built a prawn trap from lawyer cane, sticks and vine. Then I caught some prawns and ate them.
Prawn (and fish) traps are simple traps designed to catch aquatic life due to their shape. It consists of a simple basket with a funnel shaped entrance. Prawns easily find their way into the trap as they are funneled in, but have difficulty finding the way out.
I wove the main body of the trap from lawyer cane then made the funnel from sticks with vines woven between them. The funnel was then inserted in the top of the basket and was complete.
I put the trap in the water under some tree roots without any bait. About 10 minutes later caught the first prawn which I stored in a pot of water. I caught another one and made a fire.
I humanely killed the prawn using the splitting method which destroys the central nervous system (boiling alive is more painful). Then I put them back in the pot with water. I collected some yams that I planted years ago from wild stock and put them in too.
I took 5 hot rocks from the fire and put them in the pot boiling the contents. The prawns turned red after cooking. They were peeled and eaten. The yams were also peeled and eaten.
This method of catching prawns is easy with the only skill needed being basketry. In practice, a long stretch of creek might have several traps collecting food each day without any effort on the part of the fisherman. Bait is not necessary to catch prawns as they will be naturally be drawn to the fish trap out of curiosity. But scraps from previous prawns may be used to bring in new ones (they are cannibalistic) or other fish like eels. The prawn trap is easy to build and can be reused many times.
Edit: I originally called this animal a shrimp when technically it is a freshwater prawn. A prawns segments overlap the ones after it whereas a shrimps second segment overlaps the first and third segment. Shrimp have a distinct bend in the tail. It is definitely not a crayfish however which is basically a freshwater lobster.

Documental PINOCHET // Documentary Pinochet //Пиночет Документальные

Estimados amigos y adversarios: Antes de opinar tan simplonamente les recomiendo leer mas libros referentes al quiebre de 1973 (contemplar la visión beatificadora de la UP con Historiadores opositores y viceversa con el Gobierno Militar).
No base su construcción histórica en documentales llenos de criticas (hechas en el extranjero) hecho por cierta ciudadana estadounidense,que tiene diversos problemas por sus simplismos teóricos referente al capitalismo y su actuar. Existen numerosos documentales (Independiente de este que defiende la Obra del Gobierno Militar) que muestran una visión amplia del periodo (Ej. Secretos de la Historia o Nuestro Siglo) hechos a principios del año 2000.
A los tontos útiles de izquierda: Eviten teorizaciones ampulosas (y de conspiraciones) para intentar explicar los fracasos y todas las cagadas hechas en nombre del proletariado, durante la Unidad Popular y que le costaron a millones de Chilenos, transitar al quiebre institucional de 1973 (tomando posición en uno y otro bando irreconciliable). Donde curiosamente los verdaderos responsables de la destrucción del sistema institucional, literalmente arrancaron como ratas, en vez de estar defendiendo al gobierno del pueblo en la calle... El peor error de algunas personas de izquierda es creer en la existencias de teorías de conspiración, construcciones literarias heroicas amañadas en historia, beatificaciones a santos seculares y la construcción de una mala memoria histórica, eligiendo solamente lo que me conviene mostrar (Se ejemplifica en un silogismo muy simple: zurdos buenos, derechistas malos) sin entender el fundamento del problema. Chile hacia 1970 era un país pobre con múltiples problemas de desarrollo económico y existían 3 proyectos globales de sociedad que eran incompatibles entre sí.
El documental Pinochet, es de mi preferencia porque rescata lo positivo del Gob. Militar y lo expresa claro, cosa que hoy quiere ser olvidada.
Insultos, ofensas y ridiculizaciones, hoy a 42 años del 11 de Septiembre es una falta de respeto e inteligencia para todos los muertos (de derecha o izquierda)

Como un deber de difusión, y para recuperar parte de la tan manipulada manoseada y tergiversada memoria histórica se sube aquí este documental. Para que puedan ver en buena resolución cientos de hechos que llevaron al PRONUNCIAMIENTO DE 1973 y al establecimiento del GOBIERNO DE LAS FUERZAS ARMADAS Y CARABINEROS.

ACUERDO DE CHILLÁN, DEL PARTIDO SOCIALISTA DE CHILE.
(Resolución adoptada por la unanimidad de sus integrantes, en el Congreso del Partido Socialista de Chile, celebrado en la ciudad de Chillán, los días 24, 25 y 26 de noviembre de 1967)
PRIMERO : El Partido Socialista, como organización marxista-leninista, plantea la toma del poder como objetivo estratégico a cumplir por esta generación, para instaurar un Estado Revolucionario que libere a Chile de la dependencia y del retraso económico y cultural, e inicie la construcción del Socialismo
SEGUNDO : La violencia revolucionaria es inevitable y legítima. Resulta necesariamente del carácter represivo y armado del estado de clase. Constituye la única vía que conduce a la toma del poder político y económico, y a su ulterior defensa y fortalecimiento. Sólo destruyendo el aparato burocrático y militar del estado burgués, puede consolidarse la revolución socialista.
TERCERO : Las formas pacíficas o legales de lucha (reivindicativas, ideológicas, electorales, etc) no conducen por si mismas al poder. El Partido Socialista las considera como instrumentos limitados de acción, incorporados al proceso político que nos lleva a la lucha armada. Consecuentemente, las alianzas que el partido establezca, sólo se justifican en la medida en que contribuyan a la realización de los objetivos estratégicos ya precisados.
Tal como pueden ver, los subversivos, antidemócratas y golpistas, fueron los que precisamente hoy, se enjuagan y hacen gárgaras con las palabras democracia y DD.HH. El único problema que tuvieron para poder alcanzar sus objetivos, es que las FF.AA. se adelantaron, y más aun, la gran mayoría ciudadana de este país, pidió encarecidamente su intervención.
¡SI SE VALIDA E INCITA A LA VIOLENCIA, ES MUY ESPERABLE, UNA RESPUESTA TAMBIÉN VIOLENTA...!!!

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

SUMMARY
=======
Patagonia (Spanish pronunciation: [pataˈɣonja]) is a sparsely populated region at the southern end of South America, shared by Argentina and Chile. The region comprises the southern section of the Andes mountains and the deserts, pampas and grasslands to the east. Patagonia is one of the few regions with coasts on three oceans, with the Pacific Ocean to the west, the Atlantic Ocean to the east, and the Southern Ocean to the south.
The Colorado and Barrancas rivers, which run from the Andes to the Atlantic, are commonly considered the northern limit of Argentine Patagonia. The archipelago of Tierra del Fuego is sometimes included as part of Patagonia. Most geographers and historians locate the northern limit of Chilean Patagonia at Huincul Fault, in Araucanía Region.
