Another reason we talk about the weather is because it is always changing. It can be sunny when we wake up but pouring down rain by lunch time. People who study the weather are called meteorologists. One of the most important things meteorologists study is weather fronts. A weather...

Though not everything is planned; we have a degree of control; we have backup options; and we can see some event or destination on the horizon. We have dreams, aspirations, and expectations for fulfillment. If something goes wrong, we probably have a support system in place. Many people throughout the world live without these certainties and margins of error. Those living below...

To die in a fire is one of the most terrible deaths. Who would want to die with the skin and muscles in ebullition "swallowing smoke, swallowing misery, swallowing one's own consciousness"? This happened to thirty six people the last day of January 1980 in the Spaniard Embassy in Guatemala City. If we had seen the episode, without a doubt, we would have frequent nightmares similar to the ones that hunt those who survived the years of the politics...
