Desde un humilde pueblo con Laguna de la Costa Mirandina en Venezuela le extendemos UN calido pero sabroso saludo a los italkoescucha que me escuchan desde cualquier parte del globo terraqueo.

En Venezuela no celebramos Los Viernes 13 como lo celebran en Estados Unidos, pero tenemos muchas historias interesantes que compartir tambien para Este dia.

"Si El Domingo cae quincena, desde El viernes SE celebra" o "Fin de Semana Cayo quincena y Tengo real pa' rumbear en Chirimena" son Los lemas de Los lugareños con ganas de comenzar la fiesta.

Hoy saldrá "El bañador"/ "La bañadora" o "Los Bañadores"??? Lo malo de salir y no amanecer en El Lugar es El Camino de Vuelta, por la madrugada.

Mucha Gente SE ha desaparecido sin causa ni razon alguna, no aparece ni El cuerpo, ni rastro ni pista, muchos creen que fue caiman, otros dicen que la recluta (alistamiento militar), pero muchos estan convencidos de que son Los encantos de la Laguna de Tacarigua.

Y es que en Venezuela CADA pueblo tiene una historia popular bastante similar catalogado como #MitosYLeyendas Venezolanas.

En la Laguna de Tacarigua o Tacarigua de la Laguna dicen que salen "espantos" o "encantos".

Te asustan y espantan dependiendo de TU Energia o TU aura o sencillamente tu augurio ya que si Ellos quieren Ellos te ayudan con Buena pezca a cambio de Luz de velas (veladoras) y oraciones a las animas benditas que estan en El pulgatorio, todos Los lunes a partir de Las 7 de la Noche.

UN pueblito con muchas carencias pero con Mucha fe y una Energia espiritual infinita.

Asi que Atento y presta todas las atenciones y que no te sorprendan los chapuzones, gritos y las voces de ultratumba en la obscuridad...

...¡Feliz Viernes 13!. 

#elenatienelallave pero @marielenmerceds #telasuelta

Viernes 13 desde Venezuela, Gracias Dios, Gracias "Chanchamire", Gracias Gracias TACARIGUA GRACIAS

Walnuts Could Help Students with Stress, Says Study

University isn't all sleeping, parties, and video games — many students find it a stressful time, with exams and the beginning of adult life.

But a recent study has suggested that there's a food that could help with some of that stress — walnuts.

Walnuts are known to be a healthy snack. They contain healthy fats and proteins, which are good for the body and the mind.

They may not be the most exciting food for young adults to snack on in a world of pizza and burgers, but they could have a positive effect both on academic stress and on the health of the body.

That's according to researchers from the University of South Australia, who had 80 students take part in their study.

One group of students was asked to eat about half a cup of walnuts every day for 16 weeks. They could eat them as a snack or add them to meals at any time of the day.

The other participants were told not to eat nuts for those 16 weeks.

The researchers found that academic stress was having a negative effect on student's mental health, on the amount of protein in their bodies, and — in female participants — on the diversity of bacteria in their guts.

But these things all improved among those who had been eating walnuts.

Larisa Bobrovskaya, one of the study's authors, said not only are walnuts good for students, they're an easy thing to add to lots of different meals.

However, she also said just having something extra to eat might have made the students feel better, so more research is needed.

[前回より]  男は私が渡したペットボトルの水をゆっくり飲み始めた。それから、大きく深呼吸をした。


その男はゆっくりていねいに私に質問した。

男　「日本語上手だね〜、どこ出身ですか？」

私　「イタリア出身です。」

男はとても驚いているようだ。

男　「えっ、イタリア人！？、どこ？」

私　「シシリアです。」

男　「まじで〜！　行ったことあるよ、少し住んでいた。」

男は50才くらいだろう。初対面なので、ていねいな話し方だったが、私がイタリア出身の事と私より彼が年上なので、ていねいな話し方とくだけた話し方を混ぜている。

男　「昔にイタリア料理の勉強で1ヶ月いたんだ。なつかしいなー、、　日本は観光で？」

私　「今回は2回目です。」

男　「そうなんだ〜、いいね〜！」

[From last time] The man began to slowly drink from the plastic bottle of water I had given him. Then he took a deep breath.


The man asked me a question slowly and carefully.

The man said, "Your Japanese is very good.

I said, "I am from Italy.

The man seemed very surprised.

The guy "What, Italian?  Where?

Me - "Sicilia.

Guy - "Seriously!　I've been there, lived there for a while."

The guy must have been about 50 years old. Since we had never met before, he was very polite, but since I was from Italy and he was older than me, he mixed polite and casual speech.

The guy "I spent a month studying Italian cooking a long time ago. I miss it. Are you in Japan as a tourist?

Me "This is my second time."

Guy - "Oh yeah, that's great!"

I nodded with a smile without speaking.

Guy *"By the way, do you see me?
