THE NEW WAY

In Bogota, in the last years, everybody talk about the metro, always the Majors make a lot of promises, one of them is to make the Metro, this thing is very dificult, because this generate descusions, this year Enrique Peñalosa is the Bogota major, and he say about the metro "i will build it, on my period the metro is going to bt real".

The metro will connect the diferents zones of Bogota, the south with the north and the east and west, is going to be really great, and it will be a solution to the problem of the traffic in Bogota, the metro need a great inversion like the ampliation of the Panama canal

The metro tickets will not have a elevated cost, but not they want the metro doesnt affect the Transmilenio cost and trhat service economy, the people are excited but some of them don't believe about the construction of the Metro, they think this thing doesnt exist.

Peñalosa explain the way of the Metro will be on the street, that will be elevated, and in the stations are located some apartamennts and shops and this will be great because this is for the popple, the people who need a better transport service, the people who make sacrfices for their familys.

 THE BRONX 

"Anyone who does not  smoke is suspect. I do not hear, I do not see, I do not speak, that was the law of silence that prevailed in the Bronx, It was written ont the walls, also in the old Cartridge and even in San Victorino, With the complicity of all citizens. So it has been like that since decades. 

With the construction of roads and Columbus Avenue (13th Street) and the emergence of more industries. San Victorino became a funnel where the "piperos" came together, smuggling, and they began to form the first cambuches to process alcohol, traffic gold and weapons. 

There came and from there was distributed. Who does not remember the cry: Bottle paper? All that was collected was brought to the district San Victorino, where the glass he recycled and was used to bottle adulterated liquor. Especially whiskey, whose import it was regulated by high taxes. It was done in the cartridge, and bus parking smuggling center at a time. 

The opinion about the is that luckily the Bronx has been closed, with all the problems in this place. With all this, also there is evidence that in the streets and quarters the number of thieves, homeless, drug dealers and addicts.

HOMOPHOBIA

IS THERE A LOT OF HOMOPHOBIC PEOPLE IN COLOMBIA?

The homophobia exists since we have knowledgement, or since some religions (Ex: Cristianism) conquer most part of the world, in some of those cases the clerics, and most of the people that follow this belief, always had a racism (homophobia) to the gays, they believe that the gays are sinners, it is for them an abomination, because they think that god creates the man with the woman, and not the man with the man, and neither the woman with the woman, because the bible says that is an abomination that a man have sex with other man, and same with two girls.

But nowadays, the world has changed a lot, the last century some things changed, ex; the woman begins to take a paper in the world, too the childhood, most of the countries of Africa become independent, and since that period, the gays begin to make part of the society, as them are. Nowadays are like 14 countries that accept the gay marriage, and the most possible think is that all or most of the countries accept this.

In the article "(http://www.eltiempo.com/politica/partidos-politicos/entrevista-a-gina-parody-y-cecilia-alvarez/16624792)" that talk about the homophobia in Colombia, Gina Parodi (GP) and Cecilia (her wife) count about their life and how they tell this love history or her "get out of the closet" to her parents (and there were very religious), when she (GP) count this to her parents they take her to the church, the priest ask to her,"What to you have?", she said "I love a woman". The priest doenst say anithing. So because of this, the parents in the beginnig suport them, but with the time, the press find out of that situation, and begin to ask her in a committee, that if she was lesbian, she say the truth, and say that she doesn't never hide again, because she wanted to defend the gay rights, and say "when a society rejects a boy that is gay, he begin of a process of hatred, and scare, insecurity and reject, that ends in a suicide, the suicide rate is very high, and Colombia Lacks of tolerance".

this video is to show her different points of view.

In conclusion, the world evolutionates and the most possible thing is that, in a future, never will be homophoic.

Street art in Bogota 

The liberty who exist in Bogota to make graffiti’s is so big, because in other countries the police make you a fine for make graffities in the city, more specific in a public space. One of the most big and important place of the city about the graffities is the downtown, because in that part of the city is where mostly of the tourist arrive, and is the place where most of the street artist go to decorate the city.

This kind of art have some restrictions with the stile and technique and we can evidence that with some of the most famous artist of Bogota like “Toxicomano” “Lesivo” “Stink Fish” “Bastardilla” “Ledania” and “DJLU”.

¿What is a graffiti?

A graffiti is a kind of art who express the feelings and unconformity about the problems of the city in what they live. The most significant reason to be called graffitis is because most of the draws are made on the street in some big walls and obviously the draws are very big. This kind of art are mostly realized with aerosol and sometimes wall paints.

The person who nickname is "el mudo" delinquent identified by the Metropolitan Police of Bogota, he is made spend for a deaf and dumb person to there be gained the confidence of his victims and, I enter of places, restaurants and cafeterias, to steal belongings. 

The bandit moves for the suroccidente of the capital. His modus operandi stayed in evidence in a video recorded by a chamber of vigilance of a cafeteria, in the Handsome neighborhood (Bridge Aranda), which shows how it enters to the place and issues signs and gestures to give to understand that he needs something. I seize of shift it payes attention and tries him to understand the requests, while the thief enters up to the counter, indicates different products and in a carelessness of the victim it takes a purse, which it covers with a folder that goes in the hands. 

 One sees clearly that the signs that the individual does are not clear not of the habitual language of the deaf and dumb people. We ask him to the citizenship to denounce the cases, since already we have identified to the subject ", reported the Police, which expects to meet on the capture of the fraud. After taking the booty, ' The Mute one ' it expresses that already it does not want to buy anything, and takes advantage of the arrival of more clients to go out of the place without leaving suspicions.

More than 1,400,000 people participated in admission test of the Universidad Nacional of Colombia

Last sunday september 18th thousands of people around the country presented a test during four hours. In this exam was evaluated subjects like math, chemistry, reading, general culture.

The system to select the people that aprove is with a score from one to one thousand and goes since 580 that is the minimum for the music program, until 790 for Mechatronics Engineering.

Then the university create and public a list with all the results since the maximum score until the minimum score and make four groups to select the careers. So the people in the first group have the opporunity to choose any career in the university. And the next groups can only choose the careers still available and the same with the other groups.

So now we know there are diferent status of difficulty to be a student of Universidad Nacional of Colombia. We think there are a really few oportunities because is one of the only two public universities in Bogotá and so much people that doesn't have the money to pay a private university.
