H.P. Lovecraft


Howard Phillips Lovecraft was born in Providence, United States on August 20, 1980, was an American author of novels and tales of horror and science fiction. He is considered a great innovator of the scary story, which brought its own mythology which was "the Cthulhu Mythos." Lovecraft also cultivated poetry, essay and epistolary literature.

Lovecraft's stories constituted a classic materialist cosmic terror, a current that departs from the traditional supernatural horror themes such as Satanism and ghosts, among others, incorporating elements of science fiction and alien races, time travel, existence of other dimensions. Lovecraft also cultivated poetry, essay and epistolary literature is a literary activity that involves writing letters. Generally considered of general interest, and therefore publishable letters that the author deems appropriate post or without fulfilling this condition, however serve to better understand the life and works of an artist or an event or historical period .

My Best Vacation Time


My best vacation time was a year ago, between November 2012 and January 2013, I went to the house of my grandmother, who lives in a town called Morales to 1 hour of Popayan, I will always play my vacation back in but these were somewhat different, I like going there because I relax and feel good, no nature on all sides and I like to lose myself in the pastures that stretch around the casa.En the time, celebrating christmas, everything was very happy and we went for several parties, we were doing something that almost never, several celebrations and spent so cool. The days passed with very cold weather, but that I liked, and also were going to visit my uncles and cousins​​, as long as you leave, I would go anywhere and my grandmother's food was great.


Almost before the holidays ended, we decided to Coconuco, a place where there are hot springs and where we finished bathing and having fun a lot.

Was a great holiday and indeed, very slowly over time, so I could enjoy them.

GPS


It is a global navigation satellite to determine the world position of an object, a person or a vehicle with an accuracy up to centimeters, although usually are a few meters of accuracy. The system was developed, installed and currently operated by the Department of Defense of the United States.
The GPS works through a network of 24 satellites in orbit above the planet earth, 20,200 km, with synchronized paths to cover the entire surface of the Earth.
In 1957, the Soviet Union launched the Sputnik satellite into space I, which was monitored by observing the Doppler shift of the signal transmitted. Due to this fact, they began to believe that, similarly, the position of an observer may be established by studying the Doppler frequency of a signal transmitted by a satellite whose orbit was accurately determined.
The former Soviet Union built a similar system called GLONASS, now managed by the Russian Federation.
Currently the European Union is developing its own satellite positioning system called Galileo.
In turn, the Republic of China is implementing its own navigation system, called Beidou, which provide that has between 12 and 14 satellites between 2011 and 2015. 2020, and must have fully operational with 30 satellites. At the moment (April 2011), and have 8 in orbit.
I think that is the most great invention because thanks to it we can locate and know where we are, we also know the distance at which we arrive somewhere and we want to know which way we would go, it's like a smart compass. to people who are guided by GPS compasses gives them more easily when guided, and for people who have difficulty using these devices, the GPs shows no such difficulty and they can also serve those people.
