Imprimiendo comida

La NASA anuncio un proyecto que intentará diseñar, construir y probar una impresora tridimensional que produce comida y que pueda funcionar en el espacio. Del mismo modo en que la impresora 3-D crea actualmente productos plásticos, estas impresoras tomarían los nutrientes básicos en polvo y, al depositarlos en capas, obtendrían productos comestibles. Este sistema proveerá alimentos con nutrición y sabores personalizados, con cero desperdicio, y podría ayudar a solucionar el problema de escasez de alimentos en el mundo.

Printing food

NASA announced a project that will intend to design, build and test a three dimensional food printer that can work in space. The 3-D printer creates solid objects by depositing droplets of material one layer at a time. This system will provide food with personalized nutrition, flavor and taste, with zero waste, and could help to solve the problem of food scarcity in the world.

Supertrigo

Científicos británicos han desarrollado un nuevo tipo de trigo que podría incrementar la producción. Ellos han combinado un ancestro del trigo con una variedad más moderna para elaborar una nueva cepa. En las pruebas iniciales, se ha producido una cosecha mejor, más grande y fuerte que las actuales variedades de trigo. La nueva variedad de trigo no está genéticamente modificada.

Thanks to our  friend for sharing this poem dedicated to all the mothers.

Portrait of a woman

There is a woman that has something of God because of the immensity of her love, and much of Angel because of her constant caring.

A woman who being young, has the reflection of an old person, and while aging, works with the vigor of youth

A woman, if ignorant, discovers the secrets of life more accurately than a wise man, and if educated, suits the simplicity of children.

A woman who being poor, is satisfied with those she loves, and being rich, would gladly give her treasures not to suffer the wound of ingratitude.

A woman who being vigorous, shakes with a crying child, and being weak, sometimes is coated with the bravery of a lion.

A woman who is not praised as she should be while living, because beside her all pains are forgotten, but after death would give everything we have to see her again for a moment, to receive a single hug from her, to hear a single accent from her lips.

From that woman do not ask me her name, unless you want me to soak in tears ... I saw that woman on the way. She's my mother!

When your children grow up read this page to them, and they will cover your forehead with kisses. Tell them that a humble traveler left here, for you and for them, a portrait of his mother.

Thank you Carlos for sharing the video above. Here is the story in English:

One day Paul met with her friend Laura for coffee and began to tell her about his troubles: work, money, his relationship with his partner, his vocation ... Everything seemed to be wrong in his life.
So Laura took from his bag a 500 euro bill and said, "You want this?". Paul, confused, replied: "Of course, who would not want 500 euro?". At the time she took the bill, crumpled it in a little ball, showed it to Paul and asked again: "Do you still want it?". "Yes, they are still 500 euro. If you want to give it to me, of course I want it" replied Paul. Laura unfolded the bill, threw it to the ground and rubbed her foot over it. With the bill all dirty and marked up, she said, "Do you still want it?".
"Look, I do not understand where you're going, but until you break it, the bill retains its value," said Paul. Then, Laura concluded: "Although something does not go as you want, though life steps on or wrinkles you, you're still as valuable as ever been. What you should ask is how valuable you are rather than how beaten you're at a particular time. " Laura put the crumpled bill on the table and with a smile said: "Take, keep it  to be mindful of this when you feel bad, but you owe me a bill for 500 euro to use it with the next friend in need".
Paul looked at the bill, smiled, put it in his pocket and then he felt his energy renewed.
