EVERYBODY IN THE WORLD SHOULD HAVE ACCESS TO A LIBRARY.

 

Libraries are essential, now more than ever. Despite what you may hear about the death of print books and the lack of interest in libraries, there are actually more public libraries in the U.S. than there are Starbucks.

 

On the one hand, libraries are an oasis for avid readers, whether for pleasure or for need. More than just storage spaces for books, libraries are important community hubs that serve as centers of learning and professional development, including books, internet access and educational and professional training programs. By providing free access to news, historical, and educational resources, libraries help keep the public informed with facts, rather than confuse them with fiction. Generally, some texts and other resources are simply not available in an electronic format. This is often the case with limited-edition print journals or texts from centuries ago. An individual wishing to look at these resources must visit a traditional library to do so. Books preserve the story and, more importantly, the truth.

On the other hand, they only provide as many books as they can store within the physical space available to them. Likewise, Brick and Mortar stores are not always easy to access. If you cannot travel to the physical location of your favourite bookshop, there are no options to acquire the books you desire. In addition, offline stores are restricted by time.

 

If you want my honest opinion, I reckon there are many people who love to read a physical book and would never change it for anything.

Well-informed people have an opinion. Consequently, it is much less easy to manipulate them because they are thoughtful and inquisitive people.

A SPECIAL MOUSE

What do we call a treasure? Well, I've asked this question many times throughout my life and to this day I can really assure you that it's something that gives you great enthusiasm just by seeing it that you don't need to have it around to know what is something special for you.

The story of this Little Mouse is something very curious since I have had it for 18 years ago. My parents gave me this gift when I was a child, so I don't have many memories of the mouse, but when I see this little mouse with the cheese, it brings me many feelings of peace and tranquility and above all love, and this is because my parents gave it to me however it makes this simple children's toy a treasure worth millions to me.

Originally the toy came in a cradle but I no longer remember where the rest went But what I do still have these days and that I will never stop visiting is my little mouse and the cheese When I see it I feel many things that I already talked about and that as much as the years go by and I continue to grow, I will never stop feeling the same

"it's a little mouse with a piece of cheese but it's something great"

The rise in fertilizer prices

Comparing the cost of fertilizer in the past year with the current year, this price increased by 150% per ton of fertilizer, which is extremely harmful to the economy not only to producers but to all people involved in agriculture activities and thus also in the consumer. The producers are very concerned about the rise in the price of chemical fertilizers, these, have the main function of increasing their production, this increase in prices is a problem due to this is the only way for living and support their family for these people.

One explanation for the increase in prices may be because the largest producer country of the raw materials with which fertilizers are prepared, which is China, has refused to export the raw materials it produces, due to this reason,  fertilizer has become scarce worldwide.

However, there is another way to produce basic grains such as corn through agriculture in many crops, it is called green agriculture or organic agriculture. This way of producing is based on the elimination of the use of chemicals for food production, which directly helps the health of consumers, however a disadvantage of this type of agriculture is the costs of making it works, consequently, the highest price of the products from it, these products called organic products have a high cost and do not have a high demand in the market.

In conclusion, the pandemic and war conflicts are getting bigger, therefore we are very likely to run out of inputs to fertilize chemically, so the current shortage should be seen as a great opportunity to start from scratch and fix the damage we have caused to our environment and much more importantly the damage to our health.

Keep some things from your past

 Instead of having a unique treasure, I have a box it has a sentimental value because inside of it you can find many things that I consider treasure from many people who are no longer in my life and of people who are still in it. The box is made of pinewood and with different white decorations around it. Since I was in high school I started to collect letters, necklaces and drawings. Which were a gift from friends at that time. 

I don’t know why I started to collect these little and important things I guess that I can’t trash something which was a gift from a person who was and still is important in my life. When I get old the box be handed down to my children and they can collect all the important things for them. In my opinion, I really think is important to keep some things from your past. Because it brings you back thoughts about the person you used to be and how you still growing and learning about life. And that is the most important treasure for me: see how you change with the pass of time and how you get mature as a person. 

MY TREASURE

 When my children were growing up, I used to read Chopra's books. They always relaxed me and I found time to read them for at least 20 or 30 minutes a day. I felt like I was given a lot of existential answers that I was wondering about. I always told my children; “my books are sacred, no one breaks them, no one scratches them.”At the moment, my son and daughters play with me saying the phrases that I repeated about those books. My father loved to read magazines, books… and my brothers, sisters and I learned the habit of reading from him. When I am reading, I feel like I´m emulating my father. Chopra´s books have been with me for nearly 30 years, they are part of my life. For me, Chopra's books will never "go out of style".

Unicorns painting

There is a painting at my mom's house which I consider a treasured family possession, this is because it has been with us for many years, is not like over antique but, my mom told that she bought it when my old sister Sandra was a child and nowadays my sister is forty-seven years old.

We have been living in Veracruz, where the painted was acquired, and when we moved to Yucatan, we bring it with us as a valuable painting, the real thing is that it is no expensive object but it has a sentimental value for me. The painting is about an attractive woman sitting by a lake and behind her, there are three stunning gray unicorns in three different stages of growing up. It is a relaxing experience for me to see that paint.

I remember my mom saying that the girl was my old sister Sandra, and the last three unicorns were my brother Angel, mi middle sister Victoria and the last one, I mean me. I consider an incredible idea to be a unicorn, which is a magical creature. Currently, the colors of the painting are disappearing, I should make it repaired because I will always treasure it and I hope to inherit it to the next generations of my family.

"Your Name"

(The set-up is relatively simple: Mitsuha (Mone Kamishiraishi) is a high school-age girl who lives in the fictional Itomori, a gorgeous, quaint village in the Hida region of Japan; Taki (Ryunosuke Kamiki) is a slightly older boy living in Tokyo. They are both average kids with their own social circles, but they have no actual connection, and lead very different lives, at least partially defined by their equally gorgeous settings of city vs. country.)

Mitsuha is the daughter of the mayor of a small town located in Japan, Kyoto, She is a simple girl who studies high school and has a little sister, lives with her grandmother, in this town a rite is very common which they do every year, but she is not interested in that since she dreams of studying in tokyo and leaving her small town aside. On the other hand, Taki is a high school boy who lives in Tokyo, he works part time at a restaurant where he meets a girl he finds attractive, but he is a bit shy and has no intention of telling her.

One day Mitsuha and Taki have a very strange "dream" in which they become the opposite gender, specifically each other. The interesting thing about this film is that Mitsuha and Taki are strangers living separate lives until one day suddenly they started switching places. Mitsuha wakes up in her Taki's body, and he in hers.  This phenomenon happens randomly, and they must adjust their lives around each other. In some way or another, it works. They build a connection by notes leaving for one another until they wish to finally meet. But something stronger than distance may keep them apart.

This type of film is a Romance/touching and a bit of suspense since it makes you excited and wants a relationship like that, Taki's personality is a bit disinterested at first he really doesn't care much about relationships as he is a bit shy and not open minded but through the movie the character develops he has a good overall development; But honestly, the personality that I liked the most and my favorite character was without hesitation mitsuha since she is a girl who at first thought that living in a town was a bad thing and that she did not like that kind of life very much and that makes her a person who wants to improve who does not want to stay in one place like many people usually do and that is what I liked the most about her, in terms of her development she was a work of art

Skilfully directed by Makoto Shinkai, the film comes with a beautiful masterpiece about time, the thread of fate, and the hearts of two young souls. The script is sensitively gripping, touching, and hilarious and the production is amazingly stunning. as Taki, Ryunosuke Kamiki is appealing in his performance and love of Mitsuha. 

However, for me, it's the character of Mitsuha, convincingly acted by Mone Kamishiraishi, who is the most touching of all. In conclusion, for me, Your name was a very interesting and highly recommended film which I'd thoroughly recommend
