Egipto, 03 feb (peruinforma.com).- Reporteros de la agencia noticiosa internacional ''AFP'', informaron que se produjo el día de hoy una gran balacera en la plaza Tahrir, en El Cairo, entre simpatizantes y adversarios del gobierno de Hosni Mubarak.

A las 14.30 hora local (7:30 hora peruana), ocurrió el tiroteo entre ambos bandos, ubicados en el pueste 6 de Octubre, muy cerca de la plaza Tahrir.

La ''Plaza de la Liberación'' (Plaza Tahrir) desde ayer es el epicentro de enfrentamientos entre adversarios y simpatizantes del gobierno, que hasta ahora han dejado 5 muertos sólo allí, porque por las manifestaciones ocurridas desde hace diez días en el país de las 'Pirámides' hay un total de 300 fallecidos y 3000 heridos.

cultural items: carnival

Carnaval in South America
Carnaval, also called carnival, is celebrated in many places throughout South America. Carnaval, as spelled in Portuguese, is a 4-day celebration. It starts on Saturday and ends on Fat Tuesday (Mardi-Gras). Dates change every year, but it's always a noisy, energetic celebration of music and dance and exhibitions.
Barranquilla’s Carnival an event to remember
Billed as the second largest carnival in South America, the grand parade of Barranquilla’s carnival has it all - group after group of folkloric dancers and singers wearing colorful costumes; very unique floats (or carriages as the locals call them); and finally, a cast of characters that may be unmatched anywhere in the world.
Carnaval in Bolivia
Bolivia's carnaval activities take place mainly in Oruro, Santa Cruz, Tarija and La Paz and generally have a more religious content. The devil dance in Oruro is traditional and unforgettable. You'll want to see this one!

Carnaval in Venezuela
Venezuela celebrates the carnaval, or carnival, festivities with dance, music, balloons, family festivities, lavish costumes and parades and a great deal of joy.
Carnaval!
Carnaval came to South America from Europe as celebrations before the beginning of the forty day Lenten season of fasting and prayer. These late winter celebrations in Europe gave root to the high-summer frenzy of carnaval in South America.
Carnaval Samba Parade in Rio de Janeiro Photo Gallery
"Carnaval in Rio is one of the greatest shows on earth, and the annual Samba Parade at the Sambodromo is the most festive and colorful of all."
Carnaval - Brazil's biggest party
The four days and nights of carnaval in Rio de Janeiro are the lavish self-indulgent anything-goes exotic exhibitionist spectacle the world sees. They are the result of year-long planning organizing practicing and fantasies - and a lot of hard work - but Rio isn't the only place in Brazil to celebrate.

How to teach stem changing verbs in Spanish

Stem-changing verbs | Spelling change verbs

Spanish has two kinds of verbs that undergo spelling changes during conjugation. Spelling change verbs undergo consonant changes in certain conjugations, while stem-changing verbs are characterized by changes in vowels. Stem-changing verbs are those that have a vowel spelling change in the stem of all forms except nosotros and vosotros.

The endings for stem-changing verbs are the same as for regular -AR, -ER, and -IR verbs, so you should make sure that you understand those conjugations before working on this lesson.

Spanish has three different stem-changing patterns:

1. E changes to IE
QUERER - to want
yo quiero nosotros queremos
tú quieres vosotros queréis
él quiere ellos quieren

Similarly-conjugated verbs (note that there are -AR, -ER, and -IR verbs in this category):
advertir to warn
ascender to go up
atravesar to cross
cerrar to close
comenzar to begin
descender to go down
despertarse to wake up
divertirse to have fun
empezar to begin
entender to understand
mentir to lie
pensar to think
perder to lose
preferir to prefer
quebrar to break
querir to want
recomendar to recommend
sentarse to sit down
sentir to feel

2. O changes to UE
PODER - can, to be able to
yo puedo nosotros podemos
tú puedes vosotros podéis
él puede ellos pueden

Similar verbs (there are -AR, -ER, and -IR verbs in this category):
acostarse to go to bed
almorzar to eat lunch
contar to count
costar to cost
doler to hurt
dormir to sleep
encontrar to find
jugar* to play
morir to die
mostrar to show
oler** to smell
probar to try
recordar to remember
soler to be used to
volar to fly
volver to return

* In jugar, the U changes to UE (juego, juegas...)
** In oler, the O changes to HUE (huelo, hueles...)

3. E changes to I
REPETIR - to repeat
yo repito nosotros repetimos
tú repites vosotros repetís
él repite ellos repiten

Similar verbs (only -IR verbs in this category):
despedirse to say good-bye
gemir to moan, groan
impedir to prevent
medir to measure
pedir to ask for
reír to laugh
seguir to follow, continue
servir to serve
sonreírse to smile
vestirse to dress
