How would you describe a tree?
A tree is a tall plant with a trunk and branches made of wood. It can live for many years. The four main parts of a tree are the roots, the trunk, the branches, and the leaves.
The roots of a tree are usually under the ground. One case for which this is not true are the roots of the mangrove tree. A single tree has many roots. The roots carry food and water from the ground through the trunk and branches to the leaves of the tree. They can also breathe in air. Sometimes, roots are specialized into aerial roots, which can also provide support, as is the case with the Banyan tree.
The trunk is the main body of the tree. The trunk is covered with bark which protects it from damage. Branches grow from the trunk. They spread out so that the leaves can get more sunlight.
The leaves of a tree are green most of the time, but they can come in many colours, shapes and sizes. The leaves take in sunlight and use water and food from the roots to make the tree grow, and to reproduce.
Thomas Hitzlsperger: 'I finally figured out that I preferred living with a man'
From The Guardian, Wednesday 8 January 2014
Former Premier League footballer and German international talks to Raphael Honigstein about how he wanted to tell the world he was gay while he was still playing in Germany for Wolfsburg, but was advised against it
Thomas Hitzlsperger had managed to stay away from his computer for a long time. In the morning he had become the highest-profile footballer to announce he is gay, and in the hours afterwards he had not checked the public reaction. When I speak to him I tell him that support has been flooding in from fans, fellow footballers, well-wishers – and yes, even Nick Clegg and Ed Miliband.

Somos luz - We are light. Documental con subtítulos en inglés
Documental en español con subtítulos en inglés sobre la acción artística que BoaMistura realizó en El Chorrilo, Panamá, en marzo de 2013.
Boa Mistura is an urban art group formed at the end of 2001 in Madrid, Spain. The term "Boa Mistura", from the portuguese for "good mixture", refers to the diversity of perspectives of each member. Distinct visions which complement each other, and combine to create something unique and coherent.
The collective is composed by the Architect Javier Serrano "Pahg", the Civil Engineer Rubén Martín "rDick", Pablo Purón "Purone", graduated in Advertising and Public Relations, and two Fine Art graduated: Pablo Ferreiro "Arkoh" and Juan Jaume "Derko".
The group works mainly on the public space, and have developed projects in South Africa, Norway, Berlin, Sao Paulo or Río de Janeiro. Boa Mistura have taken part in exhibitions in art galleries such as the "Museo Reina Sofía", "Casa Encendida" and the "Museo DA2". They have collaborated with foundations like ONCE, Red Cross, Oxfam and Antonio Gala, and given lectures at universities such as Madrid, Seville, Cuenca or Alcalá de Henares.

Charla con subtítulos del fotógrafo Iwan Baan
El fotógrafo Iwan Baan nos muestra cómo la gente construye hogares en lugares insospechados, guiándonos por los apartamentos familiares de la Torre de David, un rascacielos de 45 pisos inacabado y abandonado en el centro de Caracas, por una ciudad sobre el agua en Nigeria, y por un pueblo subterráneo en China. Sus magníficas imágenes celebran la capacidad de la humanidad para sobrevivir y construir una casa en cualquier lugar.

Advanced Reading: ¡Asilo para Snowden! / Asylum for Snowden!
El titular de Der Spiegel: “¡Asilo para Snowden!”, indica por fortuna el creciente apoyo de la opinión pública a una exigencia tan justa. Quienes contemplan las cosas sin prejuicios y se sublevan contra el espionaje del Gran Hermano previsto por Orwell tanto en el caso de las dictaduras y regímenes autoritarios como en el de las tecnocracias de Occidente, deben hacerse oír y hacer suya la consigna del semanario alemán.
The Asylum for Snowden! headline in Der Spiegel fortunately indicates a groundswell in public opinion in favor of so just a demand. Those who look at things without prejudice, and who are revolted by the spying of Big Brother prophesied by Orwell on the part both of dictatorships and of authoritarian regimes like the technocracies of the West, must now speak up and make the German weekly’s demand their own.
