There is a city in Venezuela called Maracaibo.

CAMPUS URBE

The university has many good things as audio-visual resources, an auditorium for presentations and lectures, and outdoor spaces for recreation and sharing with others, the buildings are three floors each, each room with a capacity of up to 50 students, all with air conditioning and explanations slates which is very useful, as well as an extensive library, cafes and parking for those who have in their own cars.

Is quarterly which carries students are always busy with assignments, you can simultaneously record and view up to 8 materials, you also have 1 weeks for the assessments of such materials which may cause it to be quite stressful weeks, however my college life is fun and complete, we have theater group presenting their work every Thursday, also representing cultural groups weekly events to inform and entertain students. With nearly 30 thousand students, it is easy to meet people and have many friends, I really enjoy my life in college.

THE FAMILY IN VENEZUELA

Modernity has brought great benefits to the Venezuelan society, which benefits from technological advances, political and economic, but also suffers the consequences. By becoming more expensive life family group was reduced, leaving a memory of large families of seven or more siblings. Today there are more single children or children with one brother, many parents are divorced and the onset of motherhood is the later. The trend is to reduce the number of offspring and live longer.

The Silbon

It is, according to legend, the ghost of a young man who killed his parents, and so is condemned to wander as a lost soul forever with a bag full of bones of their ancestors.

It has a signature whistle that resembles musical notes do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, si, in that order until fa louder and then down to the note itself. It is said that when the whistle is heard no danger near, as the Eurasian is far away but if you hear it because it's close.

It is also said to hear his whistle is an omen of death itself. Another tradition states that occurs in the Eurasian houses at night to count the bones that leads into the bag. If nobody listens, no danger.

Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe died on 5 August 1962 at the age of 36 in Los Angeles. Police department chief of Los Angeles, Jack Clemmons received a call from Dr.Greenson, Monroe's psychiatrist, at 4:55 pm., and it was he who told him that she died at home. The Clemmons was the first officer on the scene. The first autopsy found he died from an overdose of barbiturates.

The police report described the incident as a "probable suicide", but for lack of evidence the investigators left open the possibility that he had been murdered. Other theories also suggested that John and Robert Kennedy had something to do with Monroe's death, he even says it was a mafia crime.

Ghosts of the House of Capitulation or Morales’s House

This historic site is one of those places that the people of Maracaibo Maracaibo know of its existence but few, and I dare say that never have visited. It was built in the eighteenth century and its value is that it was the site where the last Spanish Captain General in Venezuela capitulated after the Naval Battle of Lake Maracaibo (hence the name "House of the Capitulation).

Relatives of those who currently own in the form of bailment (The Academy of History and the Bolivarian Society) claim that in certain times of day and especially at night, wandering ghosts calling for his soul. They say that these apparitions are slaves and servants, mistreated and even killed in construction during the colonial era. Perhaps if the story was official, the house would have some appeal and that it is scarce: the visits.

My experience in the high school..

Since 2005 i study at "Los Samanes" , i had great teachers, they teached me a lot, i was a regular student, i made many friends , we used to hang out after we finish our homework , the most significant memory i have was the wisdow that my psicologist teacher, Beatriz de Montero left me, she taught me to see life from a more optimistic and positive point of view, it was a time i will never forget.

Haiti Disaster

The 2010 Haiti earthquake was a catastrophic magnitude 7.0 Mw earthquake. Its epicentre was near Léogâne, approximately 25 km (16 miles) west of Port-au-Prince, the capital of Haiti. The earthquake occurred at 16:53 local time (21:53 UTC) on Tuesday, 12 January 2010,[5][6] at a depth of 13 km (8.1 miles). By 24 January the United States Geological Survey recorded at least 52 aftershocks measuring 4.5 or greater. The International Red Cross estimated that about three million people were affected by the quake; the Haitian Interior Minister, Paul Antoine Bien-Aimé, anticipated on 15 January that the disaster would eventually claim between 100,000 and 200,000 lives. The Haitian authorities confirmed that the death toll exceeded 150,000 people as of 25 January.

The earthquake caused major damage to Port-au-Prince, Jacmel and other settlements in the region. Many notable landmark buildings were significantly damaged or destroyed, including the Presidential Palace, the National Assembly building, the Port-au-Prince Cathedral, and the main jail. Among those killed were Archbishop of Port-au-Prince Monsignor Joseph Serge Miot, and opposition leader Micha Gaillard. The headquarters of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH), located in the capital, collapsed, killing many, including the Mission's Chief, Hédi Annabi.

Many countries responded to appeals for humanitarian aid, pledging funds and dispatching rescue and medical teams, engineers and support personnel.

Communication systems, air, land, and sea transport facilities, hospitals, and electrical networks had been damaged by the earthquake, which hampered rescue and aid efforts; confusion over who was in charge, air traffic congestion, and problems with prioritisation of flights further complicated early relief work. Port-au-Prince's morgues were quickly overwhelmed; tens of thousands of bodies had to be buried in mass graves. As rescues tailed off, supplies, medical care and sanitation became priorities. Delays in aid distribution led to angry appeals from aid workers and survivors, and some looting and sporadic violence was observed.

On 22 January the United Nations noted that the emergency phase of the relief operation was drawing to a close, and on the following day the Haitian government officially called off the search for survivors.
