ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DE: El Último de su Especie.


Adam era el último humano. En una estación espacial solitaria, era el único vestigio de una especie extinta. Una señal antigua lo llevó a un planeta habitado por alienígenas que vivían en armonía con la tecnología. Allí, encontró una comunidad que lo acogió, brindándole un sentido de pertenencia que nunca antes había experimentado.

Los alienígenas, seres pacíficos y curiosos, se fascinaron con las historias de Adam sobre la Tierra. A su vez, Adam aprendió mucho de ellos sobre su mundo, su historia y su filosofía. Descubrió que, a pesar de sus diferencias físicas y culturales, compartían valores universales como la búsqueda del conocimiento y la esperanza en el futuro.

Con el tiempo, Adam comenzó a sentirse menos solo. La comunidad alienígena lo había ayudado a sanar las heridas emocionales causadas por la pérdida de su especie. A través de su interacción con ellos, había desarrollado una nueva perspectiva sobre la vida y el universo. Se dio cuenta de que, aunque era diferente,era parte de algo más grande.

How To Introduce Yourself In A Job Interview And Win The Attention Of The Hiring Manager?

Often times it's hard for us to open up to others (even ourselves), therefore there is a simple technique you can use that I give in this podcast. It has 3 steps and it will be described in detail. 

Here are some steps you can use to help you to apply the method I am describing:

1. Write about all your qualities that are required for the job.
2. Mention your personal attributes, but do so without sounding arrogant by using phrases such as “I believe that…”, “I think that…” or “I consider myself to be a…”
3. Your self introduction must be accurate and honest.

Last but not least - 4. Keep it short and simple. Don’t try to show off your knowledge of vocabulary or grammar. The interviewer is interested in whether you can do the job, not what you know about English :)

These simple steps can potentially allow you to impress the interviewer and can give you an advantage over other candidates that haven't though it thoroughly.

Southern California is experiencing its most devastating winter fires in more than four decades.

Fueled by powerful Santa Ana winds, fierce wildfires around the Los Angeles area have sent residents fleeing from their burning homes.

Santa Anas are warm, dry northeast winds that blow from the interior of Southern California toward the coast, moving in the opposite direction of the normal winds that carry moist air from the Pacific.

Thousands of firefighters have been battling multiple blazes, from the Pacific Coast to Pasadena, just north of Los Angeles, with new fires breaking out in the Hollywood Hills on the evening of January 8.

One of the fires is already the most destructive in Los Angeles history.

By early morning on January 9, more than 1,900 structures had been destroyed and over 130,000 people were under evacuation orders, with five people reported dead.

The fires have already consumed an area of about 110 square kilometers — nearly the size of the entire city of San Francisco.

Fires don't usually blaze at this time of year. But Santa Anas are happening later and later in the year, and this year's winds are much faster than usual — helping the flames spread faster once they ignite.

California had two extremely wet winters that caused lots of plants to grow, followed by a sudden drought that dried them out — which experts say has provided the perfect tinder for the flames.

AccuWeather estimated damage from the latest fires could reach $57 billion, with the weather company's Jonathan Porter saying "it may become the worst wildfire in modern California history."

Among those who have lost their homes are a number of celebrities, including actor Billy Crystal, who lost his home in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood that he had lived in for 45 years.

Another celebrity who lost his home, The Princess Bride star Cary Elwes, wrote on Instagram: "Sadly we did lose our home but we are grateful to have survived this truly devastating fire."
