My autobiography

My name is David Suárez Quitana, I was born in Septhember the 24th of 1994 in Riaño, Langreo. Since I was born I live in Lada, Langreo. I don't have any brother or sisters but my cousin Henar is like my sister.
One big event in my life was when I learnt how to ride bike. I like going out with my friend to play football or cards. I think that I'm good remembering things and keeping silence, but if could change something about my life I would prefere live in New Zeland.
In the future I hope to study a career and become a good industrial engineer.

Learn how to cook ''fabada''

First we need to soak the beans one day before, the beans will get bigger. At the same time that we are soaking we need to put the meat (chorizo, blood sausage and bacon) to soak in war water. At the next day, and three hours before the lunch we put the meat with the beans in the same water, we add onions, parsley and garlics. When it starts to boil we take out the grass and the impuritys in form of foam.
We ''frighten the beans'', it means put cold water in boil points. We put the fire in the minimum, so it can boils, but very slow. This during three hours.
At the end we taste the salt.

Wales


Wales (Cymru in Welsh) is a country that is part of the United Kingdom, bordered by England to its east, and the Atlantic Ocean and Irish Sea to its west. Wales have a population of 2.96 million people, there are two oficial languages, the English and the Welsh (arround a 20% of the population speak Welsh).
The Welsh flag consists of a red dragon passant on a green and white field. It's a beautiful flag
The capital of Wales is Cardiff, other major cities are Newport and Swansea. The Wales national day is March the 1st, the day of St. David. But there are other important celebrations in Wales, like the Eisteddfod, an annual celebration about the Welsh culture.
The national sport is the rugby, but in Wales football and golf are also famous sports.
Some of the most common foods in Wales are the seaweeds, the rabbit, and leeks.
I like the landscape of Wales, a lot of green, and I prefer see castles over the fields than cities. There is a city in wales called Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, this Welsh town actually exists and its name translates as "The church of St. Mary in the hollow of white hazel trees near the rapid whirlpool by St. Tysilio's of the red cave". And it has it's own web page Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.com is the longest single word .com domain name in the world.

The pulley.

I think that the pulley is the best invention of the history, the pulley and the wheel are esential to do every building, and without buildings we're not humans.

The first mention of the pulley was in 100 a.C. , when Plutarch (46/50 a.C.- 120 a.C.) ( in Parallel lives wrote that one day Archimedes (287 b.C.-212 b.C.) said to the king Hieron of Syracuse that he can move the Earth without effort, and he moves a ship of the king's army with pulleys, and obviously, without effort.

The pulley is composed of a wheel on a shaft with a groove, and a rope runs over the wheel and inside the groove. Pulleys are used to change the direction of a force, and also to reduce the effort done to move a weight, when in a pulley sistem you put a pulley, the effort is the result of divide the weigth by the number of pulleys, for example, if you put 1 pulley, you will do the same effort as the weight, but in other direction, but if you put 2 pulley, the effort will be 1/2 of the weight, and you can put any number of pulleys. With arround 1000 pulleys, you can carry a car with one hand!

But I think that the pulley wasn't invented by Archimedes, the Egypcians maybe used it 3000 years before to do the pyramids, carry 5t stone blocks isn't very easy.

For this and other things I think that the pulley is the vest invention of the humans.
