watering service company conference

its function is to collect water in areas of Colombia (Bogotá) purify water and carry it to places such as homes and others.



the process to puirify the water is simple, take put all the big pieces of garbage and then filter it, after that add a little of chlorine and let it wait, after this process of pirification water goes to a treatment plant and after that finally they send it to the homes and other places directly.



before the civilization began, bogota was a wetland there lived a lot of species like the spectacled bear, white tailed deer, a lot of birds and insects and also the frogs because of the water.



the pet or logo: it is a frog because for the indigenous tribes, the frog was a very representative animal for the water.






one of the reasons why the watering service company was created, was because the city was frar from the bogota river and they had to walk with very heavy pots. when they came back they realized that they needed more water so they were very tired to go again to the river. many peolple died because of drinking water that was full of bacteria. so when the watering service company was created the hope of life was higer because the water was clean now and the people did not have to walk somuch and be tired.

it nis important to wash the reserve tank at least twice a year to do it you need:
  1. chlorine
  2. mask
  3. gloves
  4. special googles
  5. big plastic bag
  6. ten litters of water

make sure not to leave the water register open because it would affect the people living in your house.

My Own Myth

Maggie and Taylor
Once upon a time, there was a girl called Maggie, she was the goddess of the weather, only that she didn't know it. She was very young when she was in a garden near her house and her parents were so ansious to tell her that she was the goddess of the weather, but Maggie was so depressed that they decided to tell her when she were older. Maggie was trying to descover why when she was happy, there was a lot of sun and were no clouds, but when she was sad, it rained and it was cold. She couldn't discover it so she asked her mom who was the goddess of the rivers and the oceans. When she went into her mother's room and she was very surprised because she had never seen her mom making beautiful waterfalls through her window. Maggie asked her what was going on and her mom told her that she was the goddess of the weather, not a simple mortal. For that time, Maggie's dad was dead because an elephant crushed him very hard. That elephant was drunk because of Rudy, the god of the bad habits gave him alcohol instead of water. Maggie was very sad because of this.
Maggie was very happy because she loved to be a goddess and she could make the weather change. But that day, Maggie's mother told her to control herself because any change in her attitude could run the risk of the whole world. Maggie said it was ok and she got ready for school the next day and she promissed not to tell anybody about her weather powers. The next day she met new friends at school and everybody was around her because she was a new student. Maggie was interested about a boy named Din, he was very atractive and he liked Maggie too. A month later Maggie and Din were together. As Maggie was happy, all the days were sunny only with a little rain when she missed him, but all days were good.
One day, Maggie was with Din at the cinema. They were watching a terror movie and Maggie was very scared so she was hugging Din. Din instead was paying attention to the girl who was next to him, not Maggie another one. That girl studied in the school next to Din's school. After the movie, Maggie said she was going to go to the bathroom and she and Din were going to meet at noon in a restaurant. When Maggie left, Din looked for the other girl he saw at the cinema. She was named Taylor. At last he found her at a clothes store. When she went out Din talked with her and pretended he did not have a girlfriend, and Taylor believed him. Then, they kissed and they went to Din's house. Din had completely forgotten that he was going to meet Maggie in a restaurant, but Taylor asked him if they could go to a restaurant and he said yes. When they arrived to the restaurant Maggie was there, but Din didn't notice it. Din did not know that Maggie and Taylor were friends. When Taylor saw Maggie, she said to Din that she wanted to be with her. He said OK but he did not go. The two girls met and they were talking very happy. Both said to each other that they had a boyfriend named Din. They realized that they had too much things in common and they were best friends. Then Taylor said that her boyfriend was there, and Maggie too. They called him to ask him what was going on but he ran away.
The next day Maggie and Taylor weere very sad and then they met in front of Din's house. They didn't trust Din. But they trusted each other and as they were best friends, Taylor told Maggie that she was the goddess of the plants and Maggie told her she was the goddess of the weather. When Din went out of the house some plants trapped Din's foot. Maggie made a tornado appear and it went with Din flying to Maggie's house. Taylor's house was next to Maggie's. As they were goddesses their houses were magic and they imagined a jail under the two houses. Din was a prisioner there because of causing infidelity. Infidelity was a very bad crime in thise times.
Maggie didn't know Taylor didn't have a mother and a twin, but when se born sonething terrible happened and Taylor desppeared and nobody found her. Taylor and Maggie were very similar and they were just like Maggie's mother too. They went to the doctor and they made some blood tests and they were exactly equal. Taylor was Maggie's twin. they couldn't believe that! They were so happy that they decided to release din. he was looking for work and he wabted to be a servant. They hired him and they lived very happy together forever.

Hidden things in Lincoln's life


Abraham Lincoln had done many curious things, but only some of them are written down on this blog.
Lincoln's first love was Ann Rutledge, he met her when he moved to New Salem. After that she died from fever. Earlier in 1833 he met Mary Owens, the sister of his friend Elizabeth when she was visiting him, Lincoln agreed to a match proposal done by Elizabeth between him and her sister, only if Mary returned. Mary did return on November 1836, and Lincoln courted her for a time, however they both had second thoughts about their relationship. On August of the same year, he wrote Mary a letter from Springfield, it said that he had moved that April to begin his law practice suggesting he wouldn't blame her if she ended the relationship. She never replied and the relationship ended. Then Licoln met Mary Todd and they married each other.

Lincoln didn't wear abeard at the suggestion of an 11 year-old girl.
Nancy Hanks Lincoln died from milk sickness, thats why Lincoln is intolerant to the lactose.
