Balto was half wolf and half Siberian Husky. In 1925 in a city called Nome, in Alaska, an epidemic broke out and they needed one million units of antitoxin. The nearest buffer stock was 1700 km distant and there weren't efficient communication channels. The only way to take the antitoxin to Nome were the sledge dogs and a relay was organized.

BEBE VIO

Beatrice Vio, known as Bebe Vio, is an Italian fencer. I heard about her on the occasion of Paralympics where she won the gold medal. When Bebe was 11, she was hit by a meningitis that caused extensive infection and necrosis to forearms and legs of which was necessary the amputation. Among her awards, there are two gold medal in European Championship, one gold medal in World Championship and a bronze and a gold medal in the Paralympics 2016 of Rio de Janiero and I think she is an example for all the people that want to give up on something because it's difficult and she makes us understand that when you really want something you can do everything.

Brooklyn vs Manhattan

2.5 million people live in Brooklyn and it's the most populated of the city's five boroughs. Brooklyn's got a vibrant cultural life and a relaxed lifestyle. This borough was founded by Dutch with the name of  'Breuckelen' but gradually it was transformated in 'Brooklyn''. At the beginning this borough was an indipendent city until when the residents decided to become part of New York. Brooklyn is suited to families because here there is more tranquility than Manhattan. The district is the place of different artists and Williamsburg and Greenpoint, for example, are cultural and artistic centres. In an interview, Jonathan Howell, who lives in Brooklyn but works in Manhattan, says that Brooklyn's apartments are bigger than Manhattan's apartments and they cost less. Jonathan says that the nervous energy of Manhattan (that there isn't in Brooklyn) is mistake for positive energy.
