The course of veterinary medicine here at Faculdades INTA has a farm. This week I was there taking some pictures of the new classroom, laboratory and squeeze chute.

It was a very interesting scene Tuesday when Germany beat Brazil 7 to 1 in the quarter finals of the 2014 World Cup.

Growing up as a kid I watched Sesame Street like most, and like many others children, I LOVED Kermit the Frog. I don't know what it was about him that I liked so much. I don't think it was his color (since my favorite is blue), his singing or his voice necessarily, I just liked him. I had a Kermit cup, a …
