“Duolingo Intro.en.txt”

It's a big world out there.

Billions of us trying to live, love, prosper,

and make sense of our brief time on this planet.

Since the dawn of humanity, we've been passing

information from one person to another through

a common language.

Unfortunately, you can't communicate with others

without knowing or learning their language first.

A similar issue is manifested on the web where

text can be penned in dozens of different languages,

each of which demands a reader's fluency.

We've developed an elegant solution to both

problems -- a way for you to learn a language for

free, while at the same time helping to translate

text from the web, enabling a wealth of

language-shackled information to be liberated for

all of humanity. It's called "duolingo".

Here's how it works: Let's say you're a native

English speaker who wants to learn Spanish.

We start by giving you a sentence from a Spanish

web site and asking you to translate it.

Wait. Back up.

How can you translate a language you don't know?

First, duolingo only gives you sentences that fit

your language level. Beginners get the really simple

sentences from the web and advanced users get the

more complex ones.

This way, everybody becomes a valuable translator.

And second, if you're really lost, you can always

see possible translations for words you don't know.

Afterwards, duolingo helps you understand and

memorize the words you hovered over through

educational examples.

You can also vote on the quality of other students'

translations, which helps you learn by seeing how

others translated the same sentence.

And because you create valuable translations while

you learn, we return the favor by offering duolingo

completely free of charge: no ads, no hidden fees,

no subscriptions. Just free.

To put the potential benefit of duolingo into

perspective, think about this: if one million

people would use duolingo to learn, the entirety

of English Wikipedia could be translated to Spanish

in just 80 hours.

Destination Eden - Reviews of the book

Destination Eden - Reviews of the book

 by UrsulMag

1. Mango is clearly the Arnold Ehret of the 21st century! This book is a must read for all budding vegans, raw vegans and fruitarians, it explains things in a no nonsense way, and should be on the bookshelf of anyone interested in self improvement and who genuinely cares about their healths the lives of others, and the environment. It goes further than every other raw book I've read so far. I heartily recommend his book, and will surely be ordering several more copies to give away to family and friends. THANK YOU MANGO!

2. Mangodurian, your fruitarian book 'Destination Eden' is sooooo good! The logic with which you explain things makes being Fruitarian a no brainer! Educates people to take responsibility for themselves and for the world and it's living creatures. Love love love it! Peace x....I'm half way through.

3. Mango, I finished your book some days ago and I love it. You did really well. And I am totally with you on the pet issue - my grandma used to say they don't belong in the house and should live wildly and freely. And great idea for a couple to choose their last name, I love it.

4. Our beautiful blue planet is raging with wars, terror, famines, sickness, sadness etc. There is a solution to this problem – understood only by a few, ridiculed by many.
A starting point for us is to realize first of all – we as humans need to consider how we conduct ourselves on our planet. We need to go back to basics - paradise in its whole - from where we have originated.
 Have you ever thought about how society has conditioned the human race, in civilizing behavior, customs, values, etc. Have you ever thought who you were created to be, before you were told how to live life and what you should think, who would you be when you were left out in the wilderness? The other day I stumbled upon a blog of someone who said it quite nicely, re-wild yourself, what would that mean for us today?
 Mango Wodzak presents in his book a view on true fruitarian philosophy – “Destination Eden: Fruitarianism” Explained sheds some light on the subject of human life on earth and is by far one of the most eye opening reads of the century.
 Fruitarian philosophy does not only mean living on a fruit based diet, but also encompass faith, ethics, proper stewardship of our planet as instructed to us back in the Garden of Eden, ethics towards people inhabiting the planet, as well as all other living beings / things on the planet. Lastly by living in this holistic balanced view, we can enjoy health as a result – provided by the foods from Paradise.
 Who we truly are have been compromised - where we are headed is our choice. This is a cause I live to support and spread to each and everyone who have an ear:
 Fruitarian Philosophy is a peace revolution for our earth, in paving the road back to paradise.
Quote from Mango: “Going far beyond the realms of diet, this book explains the little understood concept of fruitarianism, and why there is an ever increasing need for humankind to better understand fruit and the unique role it can play in positively shaping the future.”

5. Yes! Really good book! Everyone should read it a couple of times! And i am so glad that Mangodurian Elfrugivoro wrote it! I feel that i am not the only one thinking like this. I love life, i love living, i love peolpe, the earth, The Energy! Eating fruit and having less negative impact as possible with my use of everything. I want to take/use/recieve and give it back in a egual or higher vibration. Contribute to Paradise of Energy!

6. You have an absolute talent for writing, this is not just a book.. In my honest opinion you writing style should be honoured and placed amongst the best in the world.
I have ready many books in my life..
A suggestion and if you ever have time, if you would write a fantasy story book for adults / children, something similar to Lord of the rings etc. I believe you will sell thousands of copies.
You could make it about a fantasy fruit paradise and evil beings trying to kill all the animals and destroy the earth etc.

7. Hello Mango!
 I love your book for 2 reasons.
 1. Because it is a beautiful testimony to the possibility of humankind getting back to the Garden...and
2. Because it turned me on to Withnail and I.
 I've passed it on to my wife and she is reading it with delight and we are discussing daily the wisdom inside.
 Please let me know if I can help out in any way!

8. Mango,
Got your book last week. I am really enjoying it so far. I find myself just opening it up to a random page and reading some amazing wisdom. Thank-you for publishing a book that the world sorely needs.

9. Just want you to know I received your beautiful book yesterday. And I am loving it! I've read about half . . . looking forward to the weekend when I can really indulge myself. : ) I will definitely be buying more copies to give as gifts.
 It is quite thought-provoking on many issues and I do need this challenge in some areas where I am not quite living up to my own beliefs. It's not so easy to break away from conventional thinking and modern society, as much as one wishes they could. It's very inspiring the way you have forged your own path and I look forward to your autobiography which will perhaps shed light on the more personal aspects of your transformation and journey.
 But for now I am very happy to read your logical conclusions and hopes and dreams. Very well done, friend! You can be proud of this creation! Many thanks for sharing your thoughts and wisdom!!!
 I am grateful you are here. The world needs you. ?
 Love,
Julie

10. After 13 years, mango has published his book "destination Eden"! I have to say "finally" as it is really very different to everything else I've read so far on the subject. Firstly, it's not really about food, but about many other things, from being barefoot, to politics. I was fascinated by it, and much of it really made me stop and think. Mango's a real free spirit. I can't follow his every step, but there is no obligation to either.
 Whoever wants to broaden their horizon, and see things in a fully new light, his book can be ordered as either a paperback or as PDF. http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/DestinationEden

Frozen (2013) -The song intro

Born of cold and winter air.

And mountain rain combining.

This icy force both foul and fair.

Has a frozen heart worth mining.

So cut through the heart.

Cold and clear.

Strike for love and strike for fear.

See the beauty sharp and sheer.

Split the ice apart.

And break the frozen heart.

Hup, ho.

Watch your step.

Let it go.

Hup, ho.

Watch your step.

Let it go.

Beautiful.

Powerful.

Dangerous.

Cold.

Ice has a magic.

Can't be controlled.

Stronger than one.

Stronger than ten.

Stronger than a hundred men!.

Oh!.

Born of cold.

And winter air.

And mountain rain combining.

This icy force both foul and fair.

Has a frozen heart worth mining.

Cut through the heart.

Cold and clear.

Strike for love and strike for fear.

There's beauty and there's danger here.

Split the ice apart.

Beware the frozen heart.

Tips and notes

Masculine and Feminine Nouns

In Spanish all nouns are masculine or feminine. Usually, nouns that end with an "o" are masculine, and nouns that end with an "a" are feminine. For example, "manzana" (apple) is feminine and "diario" (newspaper) is masculine.

The articles "el" and "un" are used with masculine nouns, and the articles "la" and "una" are used with feminine nouns. "The apple" is "la manzana" and "a newspaper" is "un diario."

Accent Marks

Vowels in Spanish can have an accent mark, such as the "u" in "menú" (menu). One use of the accent mark is to indicate which syllable should be stressed in the pronunciation. For example, in "teléfono" (telephone), the second "e" has the most stress.

Accent marks are also used to distinguish homophones. For example, "él" and "el" are homophones because they have the same pronunciation. However, "él" is a masculine pronoun (meaning "he" or "him") and "el" is a masculine article (meaning "the").

The Second Person Singular

"Tú," "usted" and "vos" are different ways of referring to the second person singular (you). "Usted" is the formal way of saying "you," and "vos" is used in informal speech in certain countries instead of "tú."

The three pronouns are synonyms, but they change the way verbs are conjugated. For instance, for the verb "comer" (to eat), it is "tú comes," "usted come," and "vos comés."

The decision of which form of "you" to use is regional and cultural, but you can typically use "usted" when referring to strangers.

Verb Conjugation

Verb conjugation in Spanish is more complicated than in English. In Spanish, the verb endings change in order to describe who is doing the action and when. For example, for "comer," "I eat" is "yo como" and "you eat" is "tú comes."

Because the conjugations indicate who is doing the action, it is usually possible to omit the pronoun. For instance instead of saying "yo como arroz" (I eat rice), you can say "como arroz."

The Second Person Plural

In Latin America the pronoun for the second person plural is "ustedes,” and in Spain it is "vosotros."

The two pronouns are synonyms, but they change the way of conjugating verbs. For example, to say “you guys eat,” in Latin America you would say "ustedes comen," and in Spain "vosotros coméis."

Chopin

Frédéric François Chopin (/ˈʃoʊpæn/; French pronunciation: ​[fʁe.de.ʁik ʃɔ.pɛ̃]; 22 February or 1 March 1810 – 17 October 1849), born Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin,[n 1] was a Polish composer and virtuoso pianist of the Romantic era, who wrote primarily for the solo piano He gained and has maintained renown worldwide as one of the leading musicians of his era, whose "poetic genius was based on a professional technique that was without equal in his generation Chopin was born in what was then the Duchy of Warsaw, and grew up in Warsaw, which after 1815 became part of Congress Poland A child prodigy, he completed his musical education and composed many of his works in Warsaw before leaving Poland, aged 20, less than a month before the outbreak of the November 1830 Uprising

At the age of 21 he settled in Paris Thereafter, during the last 18 years of his life, he gave only some 30 public performances, preferring the more intimate atmosphere of the salon He supported himself by selling his compositions and teaching piano, for which he was in high demand Chopin formed a friendship with Franz Liszt and was admired by many of his musical contemporaries, including Robert Schumann In 1835 he obtained French citizenship After a failed engagement to a Polish girl, from 1837 to 1847 he maintained an often troubled relationship with the French writer George Sand A brief and unhappy visit to Majorca with Sand in 1838–39 was one of his most productive periods of composition In his last years, he was financially supported by his admirer Jane Stirling, who also arranged for him to visit Scotland in 1848 Through most of his life, Chopin suffered from poor health He died in Paris in 1849, probably of tuberculosis

All of Chopin's compositions include the piano Most are for solo piano, although he also wrote two piano concertos, a few chamber pieces, and some songs to Polish lyrics His keyboard style is highly individual and often technically demanding; his own performances were noted for their nuance and sensitivity Chopin invented the concept of instrumental ballade His major piano works also include sonatas, mazurkas, waltzes, nocturnes, polonaises, études, impromptus, scherzos, and preludes, some published only after his death Many contain elements of both Polish folk music and of the classical tradition of J. S. Bach, Mozart and Schubert, the music of all of whom he admired His innovations in style, musical form, and harmony, and his association of music with nationalism, were influential throughout and after the late Romantic period

Both in his native Poland and beyond, Chopin's music, his status as one of music's earliest superstars, his association (if only indirect) with political insurrection, his love life and his early death have made him, in the public consciousness, a leading symbol of the Romantic era His works remain popular, and he has been the subject of numerous films and biographies of varying degrees of historical accuracy

Bobby McFerrin - Don't Worry Be Happy - Lyrics

(From the Movie "Cocktails") 
Here's a little song I wrote You might want to sing it note for note Don't worry be happy In every life we have some troubleWhen you worry you make it double Don't worry, be happy(Don't worry, be happy now)
Don't worryBe happyDon't worry, be happyDon't worryBe happyDon't worry, be happy
Ain't got no place to lay your head Somebody came and took your bedDon't worry, be happy The land lord say your rent is late He may have to litigate Don't worry, be happy (Look at me I am happy)
Don't worry, be happy Here I give you my phone number When you worry call meI make you happy 
Don't worry, be happy 
Ain't got no cash, ain't got no style Ain't got no girl to make you smile But don't worry be happyCause when you worry Your face will frown And that will bring everybody down So don't worry, be happy (don't worry, be happy now)
Don't worryBe happyDon't worry, be happyDon't worryBe happyDon't worry, be happy
[*4th verse not in radio edit]Now there is this song I wrote I hope you learn it note for note Like good little children Don't worry, be happy Listen to what I say In your life expect some trouble When you worry You make it double But don't worryBe happy, be happy now
Don't worryBe happyDon't worry, be happyDon't worryBe happyDon't worry, be happy
[Radio edit continues here]Don't worry Don't worry don't do it, be happy Put a smile on your face Don't bring everybody down like this 
Don't worryIt will soon pass whatever it is Don't worry, be happy I'm not worried, I'm happy
