How to make an aquarium

Hi bloggers! Do you want to have an aquarium at home?

The first step is to cut three equal rectangular glass sides. 

Then cut two squares of glass with a similar size to the one of the rectangle. 

The next step is to paste all the crystals with silicone. 

When everything is closed, we decorate it with plastic seaweed and fill it with water. 

The last step would be to put fish inside and we would have the aquarium done.

Eoin Colfer

Artemis Fowl, character of his saga with the same name, written by Eion Colfer.

Eoin Colfer was born and raised in Wexford, Ireland. As a child he attended Wexford Christian Brothers School. His father, Billy, was a primary school teacher as well as an artist and historian. His mother, Noreen, was a theatre teacher. From primary school he showed great passion for writing and reading books on Vikings inspired by his history lessons. While he was in sixth grade of Primary school, he wrote his first work: a play about Vikings in which all the characters died, except him.

After leaving school, he earned his degree from Dublin University and qualified for elementary school, returning to work in Wexford. He married in 1991 and together with his wife, Jackie, spent four years working in Saudi Arabia, Tunisia and Italy.

His first book Benny and Omar, based on his experiences in Tunisia, was published in 1998. And then translated into several languages. In 2001, the first book of the series Artemis Fowl was published, allowing him to abandon his work as a teacher and dedicate full time to writing. Eoin Colfer currently lives in Ireland with his wife and two children.

The Machu Pichu

Machu Picchu is one of the most important archaeological and architectural treasures of the Inca Empire in Peru. It is inscribed on the List of World Heritage by UNESCO since 1983.

The sacred city of Machu Picchu is located 130 kilometers northeast of Cusco, on the crest of the mountain Machu Picchu, at 2,200 meters above de the sea level.

The location of the city was a military secret, as the deep cliffs and mountains were the best natural defence.

It was a "llaqta" (Inca city), a settlement built to control the economy of conquered regions. Llaqta was the most beautiful of the Inca empire, and had been built to shelter the most select aristocracy in case of attack. It seems that was used for a time as a "resting place" and the Sapa Inca as "observatory". After the conquest of the empire by the Spaniards, was the lack of strength of the revolt Inka.

All buildings in Machu Picchu follow the classic Inca architecture. Between stone and stone, no head or a knife.

 The area built in Machu Picchu is 530 meters long by 200 meters wide and includes at least 172 enclosures. The complex is  divided into two large areas: the agricultural area, consisting of sets of terraces for farming, which lies to the south; And the urban area, which is where the occupants lived and where the main civil and religious activities took place. Both zones are separated by a wall, a moat and a stairway.
