Como hacer el escudo de armas de tu familia

		Como hacer el escudo de armas de tu familia
		Realiza tu propio escudo de armas familiar con estas instrucciones paso a paso...

Los escudos familiares, también conocidos como escudos de armas, eran la
forma que tenían los individuos y familias de identificarse en el campo de batalla
en la era medieval.

Actualmente, los escudos familiares son una suerte de identificación y un lazo
con el pasado. Sin embargo, no todas las familias tienen escudos de armas, y
muchas, si lo tuvieron alguna vez, lo han perdido hace tiempo.

Puede que no estés familiarizado con el escudo de tu familia o en una de esas
provienes de una etnia que no tiene heráldica. En cualquier caso, es posible
crear un escudo de armas que identifique y distinga a tu familia.

Necesitarás:

· Papel

· Lápiz o lapicera

· lápices de colores o marcadores

Instrucciones:

· Paso 1

Elije el tamaño y la forma del escudo en primer lugar. Luego dibuja tu diseño.
Puedes hacerlo tan elaborado o sencillo como desees. Recuerda que estará
poniendo tu escudo de armas sobre el diseño, de modo que el tamaño y la
forma deberán servir como fondo del escudo.

· Paso 2

Elije los elementos del escudo, es decir los detalles que pondrás en el mismo.
Recuerda que el escudo en sí mismo no es más que el fondo para los elementos
que habrás de ubicar.

Estos elementos implican particiones dentro del escudo (determinando la forma
en que éste se divide) y el blasón asociado (los colores). Los elementos son los
objetos que estarán presentes dentro del escudo, y suelen presentarse en forma
de animales (leones, perros, ciervos), criaturas imaginarias o mitológicas (dragones
, unicornios, sirenas), formas ordinarias (cruces, barras), u objetos inanimados
(estrellas, castillos, árboles, soles).

· Paso 3

Dibuja el casco o yelmo que reposará sobre la parte superior del escudo.
Sí, la mayoría de los escudos tienen un casco descansando en la parte de arriba.
. Elige cualquier casco o yelmo que haya sido usado en la historia. Por ejemplo,
podrías querer elegir entre un casco de los cruzados o una máscara de metal.

· Paso 4

Elige ahora la cresta del casco y la corona, que se ubicarán sobre el casco que
hayas elegido. La corona debe posarse sobre el casco y la cresta sobre la corona.

La corona es una banda de dos colores, generalmente dos colores presentes en el
escudo. La cresta es una figura, usualmente un animal, una criatura mitológica, o
una persona que se sienta sobre la corona. Unicornios, venados, doncellas,
serpientes, o dragones han formado parte de los escudos a lo largo de la historia.

· Paso 5

El manto es una pieza decorativa que parece una tela o un pergamino de un color
ya presente en el escudo. Dibuja la manta detrás del escudo y haz que se enrosque
alrededor del mismo para producir un efecto interesante.

· Paso 6

Elige a continuación los soportes, si es que quieres que tu escudo los tenga.
Los soportes suelen ser animales, seres humanos, o criaturas mitológicas o
imaginarias que se ubican a cada lado del escudo. Unicornios, venados,
doncellas, serpientes, y dragones han sido usado frecuentemente a modo
de soportes.

· Paso 7

Si lo deseas, puedes agregar un lema familiar sobre el escudo de armas.
La mayoría de los lemas suelen estar escritos en latín, pero de cualquier
forma puedes elegir el idioma que prefieras.

· Paso 8

Por último, si deseas agregar tu nombre debajo del escudo de armas puedes
hacerlo, eligiendo el tipo de letra que más te guste a dicho fin.

7 Things Parents Should Tell Their Kids Every Day

Courtesy from Karen Salmansohn

Enjoy

for raising kids who feel resilient — kids who feel deep inside themselves that they have what it takes to bounce back from life’s assorted (and sordid!) challenges.

After all, let’s face it. No matter how hard we all try to travel a bump-free path to happiness, life will always present its share of surpriseS
I don't literally mean to literally say each one of these 7 things every single day. Switch 'em up. Sprinkle them into your day.
1. “I believe in you.”
I've told my 3-year-old son, Ari, “I believe in you” so frequently, that he’s started to boomerang these words right back at me.
Funny example: The other day I was ransacking our apartment for my keys. I collapsed on the sofa, frustrated because I couldn’t find them. Suddenly I felt a tug, tug, tug on my yoga pants. It was Ari.
“Mommy,” he says, “I know you can find your keys. I believe in you.”
His words were just the booster shot of adrenaline I needed to stand up and try pulling the sofa away from the wall for a quick peek behind it. Eureka! I found my lost keys!
Yep! I greatly believe in the propulsion power of “I believe in you!”

2. “Never give up.”
Actually, when I say these words to my son, I say them three times in a row, in a silly, exaggerated, Winston-Churchill-type voice: “Never give up! Never give up! Never give up!”
This makes Ari giggle. And laughter is a great stress reliever, which continues to move him forward.
Recently, however, I realized these words need an important addendum. My son and I were putting together a Spiderman puzzle. Ari kept trying to squeeze the wrong puzzle piece into an empty puzzle space — while repeating: “Never give up! Never give up! Never give up!”
I corrected him by saying: “Never give up! Never give up! Never give up! Unless of course you’re doing something which might be wrong — then you need to stop, think and come up with a new strategy!”
“A new strategy?” he asked.
“Yes,” I said, “If you keep doing what you’re doing, you’ll keep getting what you’re getting. If nothing changes, nothing changes. So … you need to look for a new way of doing it, a new strategy, to get new results.”
Ari now recognizes the importance of never giving up, while also being open to seeking new strategies.

3. “Practice is how we learn.”
This phrase reminds Ari not to be upset at himself for slip-ups and downfalls. I like to say this not only during a challenging activity, but also before, as a warmly worded warm up.
4. "Every expert started out as a beginner — just like you."
I feel it’s essential to remind Ari that people who are awesome at something didn’t start off awesome.
I want my son to grow up knowing that it’s OK to make mistakes. It’s OK to fail. It’s OK to struggle. What’s not OK is to think that mistakes, failure and struggle are permanent states of being! They’re simply a bridge you need to keep traveling across to get yourself to “The Land of Awesome.” I want my son to grow up knowing that persistence, patience and effort are all far more important than perfection.

5. “Failure is not an option.
”I received this mantra via one of Ari’s talking ninja toys. When I first heard the toy utter this phrase, I said: “OOOooooooh I love this toy! Failure is not an option! That’s a good one!”
Ari and I then talked a bit about what this phrase means, things like: keep on trying, learn from everything, don't view it as "failure" but as "fullure" — "full" of lessons and insights to learn so you can try again with a new strategy and lots. So failure is never an option. One’s options are: learning, growing, letting it go, loving oneself for trying, and trying again!
Now whenever Ari is having trouble doing something, he’ll Ninja-Up and announce: “Failure is not an option!” Thanks to this phrase, Ari has become better and better at learning to read books!

6. “You gotta learn from every oopsy and ouchie.”
Each time Ari spills something, breaks something, drops something, kicks something, hurts something — I repeat for him this same little verbal ditty: “You gotta learn from every oopsy and ouchie.” I then ask him to specifically tell me what he learned from whatever the oopsy or ouchie might be — and we talk it through.
I let him know we all make oopsies and ouchies. We just have to try not to make the same oopsy or ouchie more than once.

7. “You are safe and loved.”
I recently added this phrase into my “Resiliency Words Tool Kit” after doing a hypnosis session with my friend. She was trying to put me into a relaxed emotional state. Her strategy? She asked me to remember a time in my childhood when I felt safe and loved. Hoo boy! As soon as she requested this, I tensed up instead of calming down! I couldn’t remember a clear, definitive time in my childhood where I felt safe and loved.
Afterward I thought about how important it is to raise kids to feel safe and loved. It bolsters their self-esteem and encourages courage.
I’ve now added the words “You are safe and loved!” into my goodnight ritual for my son. I whisper these words softly in his ear before he drifts off to sleep. “You are safe and loved.” I truly hope this quiet whisper creates a loud, infinite echo which lasts him long into adulthood.

Tuna, sandwiches, ensalada

What's the healthiest choice in the canned tuna aisle? HOWIE, SANTA FE, NM (English and Spanish)

The diversity in tuna options is enough to make your head swim. There's 'chunk, solid, pouch, can... heck, even subtle details, like light versus white, can be nutritionally significant, says Brian St. Pierre, C.S.C.S., a sports nutrition consultant based in Maine. Albacore, or white tuna, delivers more than three times the omega-3s of skipjack, or light tuna. But because albacore are typically larger, they also have higher mercury levels. So balance risk and reward, and eat only one 6-ounce serving of albacore a week. (You can have 12 ounces of skipjack a week.) To limit your exposure to BPA, a harmful chemical in the linings of cans, check the label for the words "BPA-free" or opt for plastic pouches.

SPANISH
Sabemos que el albacore es un poco más caro. Sinembargo, está más cargado de mercurio, por ser más grande. El mercurio se aloja en el cuerpo, dañando especialmente el hígado, que tiene unas funciones tan importantes. He evitado por tiempo de comprar tuna en lata, lo compro en una bolsita, es dos veces más caro, pero evito contaminarme con BPA, y aún así me pregunto si esta bolsita contiene aluminium.
A continuación cómo confeccionar de manera más rica un sandwich de tuna, que nos gusta tanto, y que nos resuelve en emergencias. En todo caso, la tuna fresca, le das un ligero hervor en el sartén, y luego la confeccionas como enlatada,o en bolsita. Es mi opinión muy personal, (Idalia) que el mercurio está principalmente en los instrumentos de pesca, de por sí. En la tienda,tomé los anzuelos, en mis manos, las carnadas, color doradas, y el cartón tenían unas urgentes advertencias de MERCURIO. Indicaban que si se tocaban, no nos tocáramos la boca, ni nariz, por estar altamente contaminadas de MERCURIO. Porqué no hacen nada en relación a esto. Porqué lo permiten??
