BULGARIAN YOGURT Bulgarian yogurt is a fermented milk product. In common with all dairy yogurt, Bulgarian yogurt is produced through the bacterial fermentation of milk, using a live culture of Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus. Fermentation ends when the yogurt has cooled. The longer the yogurt is allowed to stay warm, the more pronounced the sour flavor becomes. Bulgarian yogurt is similar to other yogurt produced in the Balkans, but it has a distinctive flavor. This is due to the milk of the Bulgarian sheep, which are raised on herb-rich pastures using traditional methods, and to the specific local strains of bacteria used. Another factor influencing flavor is that Bulgarian yogurt is never sterilized after fermentation.
Fermented food
Fermented foods are foods produced or preserved by the action of microorganisms. In this context, fermentation typically refers to the fermentation of sugar to alcohol using yeast, but other fermentation processes involve the use of bacteria such as lactobacillus, including the making of foods such as yogurt and sauerkraut. The science of fermentation is known aszymology.
Many pickled or soured foods are fermented as part of the pickling or souring process, but many are simply processed with brine, vinegar, or another acid such as lemon juice.
Fermentation in food processing is the conversion of carbohydrates to alcohols and carbon dioxide or organic acids using yeasts,bacteria, or a combination thereof, under anaerobic conditions. Fermentation usually implies that the action of microorganisms is desirable. The science of fermentation is also known as zymology or zymurgy.
The term "fermentation" is sometimes used to specifically refer to the chemical conversion of sugars into ethanol, a process which is used to produce alcoholic beverages such as winebeer, and cider. Fermentation is also employed in the leavening of bread (CO2 produced by yeast activity); in preservation techniques to produce lactic acid in sour foods such as sauerkrautdry sausageskimchi, and yogurt; and in pickling of foods with vinegar (acetic acid).

ECOTOURISM
Ecotourism is a form of tourism involving visiting fragile, pristine, and relatively undisturbed natural areas, intended as a low-impact and often small scale alternative to standard commercial (mass) tourism. Its purpose may be to educate the traveler, to provide funds for ecological conservation, to directly benefit the economic development and political empowerment of local communities, or to foster respect for different cultures and for human rights. Since the 1980s ecotourism has been considered a critical endeavor by environmentalists, so that future generations may experience destinations relatively untouched by human intervention.Several university programs use this description as the working definition of ecotourism.
Generally, ecotourism deals with living parts of the natural environments. Ecotourism focuses on socially responsible travel, personal growth, and environmental sustainability. Ecotourism typically involves travel to destinations where flora, fauna, and cultural heritage are the primary attractions. Ecotourism is intended to offer tourists insight into the impact of human beings on the environment, and to foster a greater appreciation of our natural habitats.
Responsible ecotourism programs include those that minimize the negative aspects of conventional tourism on the environment and enhance the cultural integrity of local people. Therefore, in addition to evaluating environmental and cultural factors, an integral part of ecotourism is the promotion of recycling,energy efficiency, water conservation, and creation of economic opportunities for local communities. For these reasons, ecotourism often appeals to advocates of environmental and social responsibility.
The term 'ecotourism', like 'sustainable tourism', is considered by many to be an oxymoron. Tourism in general depends upon and increases air transportation, contributing significantly to greenhouse gas emissions from combustion placed high into the stratosphere where they immediately contribute to the heat trapping phenomenon behind global warming and climate change. Additionally, "the overall effect of sustainable tourism is negative, where, like ecotourism, philanthropic aspirations mask hard-nosed immediate self-interest."

ANCIENT GREECE 

Ancient Greece was a Greek civilization belonging to a period of Greek history that lasted from the Archaic period of the 8th to 6th centuries BC to the end of antiquity (ca. 600 AD). Immediately following this period was the beginning of the Early Middle Ages and the Byzantine era. Included in ancient Greece is the period of Classical Greece, which flourished during the 5th to 4th centuries BC. Classical Greece began with the repelling of a Persian invasion by Athenian leadership. Because of conquests by Alexander the Great, Hellenistic civilization flourished from Central Asia to the western end of the Mediterranean Sea.
Classical Greek culture, especially philosophy, had a powerful influence on the Roman Empire, which carried a version of it to many parts of theMediterranean Basin and Europe, for which reason Classical Greece is generally considered to be the seminal culture which provided the foundation of modern Western culture. 
SOME OR THEIR GODS: 

SPARTA: 
Was a prominent city-state in ancient Greece, situated on the banks of the Eurotas River in Laconia, in south-eastern Peloponnese. It emerged as a political entity around the 10th century BC, when the invading Dorians subjugated the local, non-Dorian population. Around 650 BC, it rose to become the dominant military land-power in ancient Greece.

ATHENAS: 
 Is the goddess of wisdom, courage, inspiration, civilization, law and justice, just warfare, mathematics, strength, strategy, the arts, crafts, and skill. Minerva is the Roman goddess identified with Athena.

  1. Jane Goodall
    Activist
    Valerie Jane Morris Goodall, DBE , Ph.D. is a naturalist, activist and British primatologist who has dedicated his life to studying the behavior of chimpanzees in Africa and styles educate and promote more sustainable life on the planet .
    Born into a modest family and poor , from small always dreamed of traveling to Africa to live among animals and write books about them . He traveled to Kenya in 1958 and met paleoanthropologist Louis Leakey, who was given the task of traveling to Gombe (Tanzania ) to study wild chimpanzees . In 1960 , after observing the behavior of chimpanzees for months , one day one of them spotted entering a post (which had previously cut and bare ) in a termite mound to get to eat . Until that time as the only species capable of using tools was humana.2 With this discovery, the instrumental observations on chimpanzee behavior , their hunting , their intelligence, their emotions and their individual personality revolutionized biology and our perception of other primates.

RECYCLE 


The reclycle is very important for the humanity because now a day there is so much pollution in the air and in the world, we must learn to recycle the things we don't want, need or use, in our house, school or in whatever place. 
Recycling is an essential measure for life now a day. Recycling is a process to change (waste) materials into new products to prevent waste of potentially useful materials, reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, reduce energy usage, reduce air pollution (from incineration) and water pollution (from landfilling) by reducing the need for "conventional" waste disposal, and lower greenhouse gas emissions as compared to plastic production. Recycling is a key component of modern waste reduction and is the third component of the "Reduce, Reuse and Recycle" waste hierarchy.
We have to stop littering the garbage and trash.
I'ts time to begin aware, thinking in the future of the humans in earth.
I'm very agree with recycling because is a way to be shure that we gonna have a healthy life and we're gonna live happy with the things that are aroubnd us in the earth. 
We must teach children to recycle and make it a habit for the kids to have a better place. 
We can recycle almost everyting, a pencil, a soda a box, its easy.
