Egyptian mythology

Egyptian mythology or religion in ancient Egypt, comprises a set of beliefs supportedby the people of Kemet from the predynastic to the imposition of Christianity, when its practices were banned at the time of Justinian I in 535.
Its development and influence lasted more than three thousand years, varying over time logically, therefore, an article or a book, you can only summarize the multitude of organizations and issues of this complex system of beliefs. The variety of Egyptian iconography is very different from Greek or Roman, Egyptian mythology in many deities are represented by the human body and head of another animal.








Opinion:  
Egyptian Mythology was one of the Relgion with a hidden history in Egypt in Africadecierto. Where the kings inthe animal heads repesent says strength like reading.But just a disaster for the wars and conquests.

Norse mythology

Nordic or Scandinavian mythology comprises the religion, beliefs and legends of the Scandinavian peoples, including those who settled in Iceland, where the written sources for Norse mythology were assembled. Version is the best preserved of the ancient Germanic mythology, common to all Germanic peoples, which also includesthe closely related Anglo-Saxon mythology. Germanic mythology, in turn, has evolved from an Indo-European mythology earlier.
Norse mythology was a collection of beliefs and stories shared by NorthernGermanic tribes. It is important to note that this mythology was not shared by the Nordic peoples ethnic Uranus (Finns, Estonians and Lapps) and Baltic (Latvian), who held their own. It was not a revealed religion, as there was no truth delivered bythe divine to mortals (though stories of ordinary people have to learn the stories ofthe gods of a visit or them), and had a holy book. This mythology was orally transmitted in the form of a long, regular poetry. This transmission continued duringthe Viking Age, and our knowledge about it is mainly based on the Eddas and othermedieval texts written during or after Christianization.
In Scandinavian folklore, these beliefs were short-lived, and in some rural areassome traditions have been maintained until today. Others have recently beenrevived or reinvented as Germanic paganism neo. Mythology has also remained an inspiration in literature as well as stage productions and movies.


opinion:
One of the myths that has more action. What characterized this religion as the reading says, is that they had a sacred book or not, it was all oral and were morepractical.

Greek Mythology

The age of gods

"Myths of origin" or "creation myths" represent an attempt to understand the universe in human terms and explain the origin of the world. The most widelyaccepted at the time, but a philosophical account of the beginning of things, is the collection by Hesiod in his Theogony. It begins with Chaos, a deep void. From thisemerged Gaea (Earth) and some other primary divine beings: Eros (Love), the Abyss (Tartarus), and the Erebus. Without male assistance, Gaia gave birth toUranus (Heaven), who then fertilized. From this union came first the Titans:Oceanus, Coeus, cryo, Hyperion, Iapetus, Tea, Rhea, Themis, Mnemosyne, Phoebe, Tethys, and Cronus. After this, Gaia and Uranus decreed that no morewould be born Titans, so that followed the one-eyed Cyclopes and the Hundred-handers or Centimanos. Cronus ("the youngest, twisted mind, the most terrible of the children [of Gaia]") castrated his father and became the ruler of the gods with his sister-wife Rhea as spouse and the other Titans as their court.


Chaos god of universe


Gea god of the earth



Eros  god of love 


Cronus ate his children


Opinion: In itself, this is an introduction to the greatest beings representing basic and important things to Greek mythology.

A review of the progress of Steve Jobs

Steven Paul Jobs

Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has an lost an amazing human being. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have build, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple. http://www.apple.com/stevejobs/
Opinion
This is what he said Apple's main page 
where they announced that he was dead and leaves a lot to say. We can see that this man made many advances in this world who helped him get better and that is an inspiration to many people.



This Apple 1 to that iPhone took more than 31 years of further progress.

Extreme sports

Extreme sports are those sports or leisure activities and sports that involve somecomponent of a real or apparent hazard or extreme difficult conditions in whichthey practice.
Under this concept brings together many existing sports that involve a certain amount of physical demand and above all, mental. They include the most demanding sports in the hiking (ice climbing, rock climbing, etc..), And othernewly created as (bungee, snowboarding, parkour etc.). A sport, not considered extreme, can be defined as well if done under special conditions or unusualcircumstances in the. For example, rock climbing a few inches of soil (boulder) is not considered "extreme sport", but if done on a vertical rock wall several hundredmeters, then it is applied to the term.
Can be considered as a person practices an "extreme sport" when it does first.For example, the decline of a class IV river is pretty extreme for those who neverbefore had risen to a raft and you will feel it as far above their abilities.

RUL: http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deportes_extremos













Opinion
            I have practiced very few extreme sports, but one thing I love about this sportthan others. In an extreme sport you feel like you're doing something puts his life at risk even if a lot of protection or the insurance, but it feels more emotion q if one were making a common sport. The difference for me is that a sport is more common to see who is better in this sport, and one end carries his body up as much as you can do.
