FLAMINGO

Flamingos are beautiful and delicate birds. They live in escuarios, wetlands, brackish lagoons and deltas of large rivers. They feed by filtering small items from water with their specialized bills. They have a deep, narrow lower mandible, which allows them to eat small foods such as diatoms.

We can find 6 species of flamingos, all of them are American Flamingo and Andean Flamingo.

American Flamingo lives in North America.

Andean Flamingo lives in the north of Chile.
The American Flamingo is taller than Andean Flamingo, the first is 140 meters high and the second is 110 meters high.
The American weights 4kg. and Andean weight 2,2kg; the first is bigger than the second flamingo.
The American Flamingo has the most of it’s plumage is pink. The wing coverts are red, and the primary and secondary flight feathers are black.
The Andean Flamingo has the most of the plumage is pinkish white. The Andean Flamingo is the only species of flamingo that has yellow legs and feet. Its bill is yellowish as in James's Flamingo, but with a much more extensive black tip.
The Andean Flamingo is at risk of extinction because of hunting, its long breeding cycle, and the low number of breeding sites around the world.


FOR ME THE MOST BEATIFUL OF THESE TWO FLAMINGOS IS THE ANDEAN FLAMINGO.

DIEGO FORLÁN

Diego Forlán (born 19 May 1979 in Montevideo) is a Uruguayan footballer who currently plays for La Liga club Atlético Madrid and the Uruguayan national team, as a striker. He is a two-time winner of both the Pichichi Trophy and the European Golden Shoe, and also received the Golden Ball as the best player at the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
Forlán was born into a family of footballers, his father Pablo having played for Uruguay in the 1966 and 1974 FIFA World Cups and his grandfather, Juan Carlos Corazo, for Independiente in Argentina. Forlán joined Independiente after rising through their youth team, and after a successful four year spell signed for Manchester United. Forlán's two-year stint in the Premier League saw him fail to achieve the form he held at Independiente, and he was signed by La Liga side Villarreal.

In his first season in Spanish football, Forlán scored 25 league goals and won the Pichichi Trophy. After two more successful seasons with Villarreal, Forlán joined Atlético Madrid, where he once again became the league's top scorer, and became the first player to win the Pichichi Trophy twice since Ronaldo achieved this feat in 2003-04.

Forlán also has a successful international career, in which he has scored 29 times for his country. He scored once at the 2002 FIFA World Cup in Japan and South Korea, and five times at the 2010 FIFA World Cup, in which he scored twice against the host nation South Africa, once against Ghana in the quarter-finals, once against the Netherlands in the semi-finals and once against Germany in the third place play-off. He later received the Golden Ball award, given to the best player at the tournament.

Forlán lives with the Argentine fashion model and actress Zaira Nara.

A founding member of the Fundación Alejandra Forlán, headed by his sister, Forlán is outspoken on the perils of dangerous driving. Alejandra was paralyzed in a car accident when Diego was a pre-teen, and the whole family has gathered round to make sure the foundation is given as high a profile as his in Uruguay.
Alejandra Forlan is the sister of Diego Forlan, from Uruguay. Back in 1991 she suffered a car accident where she lost her boyfriend. And she became an integral part of his inspiration to play soccer.

CeLine Dion...

Top-selling Canadian chanteuse Celine Dion may have a handful of appearances in music documentaries to her credit, including George Martin's Beatles cover project In My Life (1998), but she is better known cinematically as the voice of several enormously popular movie ballads. She sang the Oscar-winning theme of Disney's animated hit Beauty and the Beast (1991) with Peabo Bryson and her rendition of "Because You Loved Me" for Up Close & Personal (1996) became a bestseller. Dion's career as movie vocalist hit a record-breaking apex when composer James Horner enlisted her to sing the kind of love ballad director James Cameron had expressly nixed for his romance disaster epic Titanic (1997). Cameron relented when he heard the result and Dion's performance of eventual Best Song Oscar-winner "My Heart Will Go On" became as king-size a hit as Cameron's blockbuster film in 1998 (and eclipsed her vocalizing for the animated Quest for Camelot (1998)). Dion took a career hiatus in 1999 to start a family with her husband/manager. ~ Lucia Bozzola, All Movie Guide .

LIVIN' LAVIDA LOCA

She’s into superstitions
Black cats and voodoo dolls
I feel a premonition
That girl’s gonna make me fall
She’s into new sensations
New kicks in the candlelight
She’s got a new addiction
For every day and night
She’ll make you take your clothes off
And go dancing in the rain
She’ll make you live her crazy life
But she’ll take away your pain
Like a bullet to your brain

[Chorus]

Upside, inside outShe’s livin’ la vida loca
She’ll push and pull you down
Livin’ la vida loca
Her lips are devil red
And her skin’s the color of mocha
She will wear you out
Livin’ la vida loca
You’re livin’ la vida loca
She’s livin’ la vida loca
She’ll make you take your clothes off
And go dancing in the rain
She’ll make you live her crazy life
But she’ll take away your pain
Like a bullet to your brain
(Repeat chous)
