    The Mary Celeste is a mystery ship. Something unexpected happened to it, and to this day, no one is sure of
    the fate of the ship and its passangers.
    Here is what little is known about the events leading up to the discovery of the ship. The ship was found
    abandoned in the mid-Atlantic in 1872. On december 4, 1872, the ship was spotted by the British ship Dei Gratia.
    The ship looked strange because the sails were not fully set and no crew members could be seen. Crew members
    of the Dei Gratia took a boat over the ship, which left New York on November 7 with a full load and 10 people on
    board.
    The situation on the ship was quite mysterious. No one was on the ship; the ship had simply been left in the
    middle of the ocean. No obvious reason why the ship had been abandoned. There were plenty of supplies, the
    complete cargo was still on board, the crew’s belongings were there, and there was no sign of violent disaster.
    However, one of the long boats and the captain’s navigational instruments were missing.
    From the strange situation on the ship, a conclusion was drawn about the fate of the ship. The belief was that,
    for some unknown reason, the captain along with his wife, his young daughter, and the seven crew members,
    had decided to abandon the ship in the middle of the ocean, never to be seen again.

    Horse owners who plan to breed one or more mares should have a working knowledge of heredity and how
    to care for breeding animals and foals. The number of mares bred that actually conceive varies from about 40 to 80
    percent, with the average running less than 50 percent. Some mares that do conceive fail to produce living foals.
    This means that, two mares are kept a whole year to produce one foal, and even then, some foals are
    disappointment from the standpoint of quality.
    By careful selection, breeders throughout history have developed various kinds of horses with a wide variety
    of characteristics to suit many different needs. The Great horse of the Middle Ages, was bred for size and strength
    to carry a heavily armored knight. The massive horses of such breeds are often referred to as “cold blooded”.
    The Arabs bred little desert horses that were small and swift. These animals are often referred to as “hot blooded”.
    Cross-breeding of hot-blooded and cold-blooded horses for certain characteristics produced breeds ranging
    from riding horses to draft horses.
    The Thoroughbred is considered by many to be the highpoint of elegance and fine selective breeding.
    Many persons mistakenly apply the name Thoroughbred to any purebred horse. But a Thoroughbred is a distinct
    breed of running horses that traces its ancestry through the male line directly back to three Eastern stallions:
    the Byerly Turk, the Darley Arabian, and the Godolphin Barb. For convenience, the breeds of horses are often

    Forgotten issue in urbanism is land use during the night time, with problems such as noise and dirt, which
    could be improved with information from twitter. At least this is what Enrique and Vanessa Frias-Martinez
    believe, computer science reasearchers at Telefonica Research and the University of Maryland (USA) respectively,
    who have suggested using geolocalized tweets for urban planning and land use.
    Enrique Frias-Martinez explained that geolocalized tweets can be very useful information for urban planning
    since it is an activity carried out by a large number of people who provide information on where they are at a
    specific time and what they are doing. The researchers point out that thanks to the increased use of smart phones,
    social networks like Twitter and Facebook have made it possible to access and produce information ubiquitously.
    These networks generate tags with the event’s geolocation. The new technique “automatically determines
    land uses in urban areas by grouping together geographical regions with similar patterns of Twitter activity’,”
    says the researcher. Using aggregate activity of tweets, the Frias-Martinez siblings have studied land use in
    Manhattan., Madrid and London. In the first two cases they identified four uses: residential, business, daytime
    leisure (mainly parks and tourist areas) and nightlife areas. The study has determined that, in Madrid, night-time
    tweet activity is concentrated on weekends and in manhattan, on weekdays. On the other hand, London is
    characterized by its tweeting activity in daytime leisure areas.
