Technology is the set of abilities to build objects and machines to adapt the environment and meet our needs. It is a word of Greek origin, τεχνολογος formed by tekne (τεχνη, art, technical or trades ") and logos (λογος," all knowledge "). Although several technologies are quite different, it is common to use the term in the singular to refer to one or all of them all. When spelled with capital, technology can refer to the discipline that studies the theoretical knowledge common to all technologies, and technological education, school discipline devoted to familiarization with the most important technologies. Technological activity influences the social and economic progress, but has also produced the deterioration of our environment (biosphere). The technologies can be used to protect the environment and to prevent the growing needs, causing a depletion or degradation of the material and energy resources of our planet. Avoid these problems is a task not only of governments but of all. This requires a good teaching-learning technology in studies of middle school or high school and successful dissemination of problems, diagnoses and proposed solutions in the media. The technologies used in general, different methods of scientific experimentation but it is also used in science. Methods differ according to whether the technology of production of industrial or industrial devices, service delivery, organization or execution of tasks of any kind. A method common to all manufacturing technologies is the use of tools and instruments for the construction of artifacts. Technology services such as power supply system make use of complex facilities by trained personnel. The principal means for making devices are energy and information. Energy allows the material to the shape, location and composition are described by the information. The first tools, including stone hammers and needles of bone, only facilitated the application of force by those applying the principles of simple machines. The use of fire, modifying the composition of foods making them more easily digestible, provides illumination enabling sociability beyond the day, provides heating and keeps at bay the fierce animals, altered both the appearance and human habits. The tools incorporate more detailed information on its operation, including cutting pliers pelacables allowing the sheath to a depth appropriate to boot easily without damaging the metallic soul. The term instruments, in contrast, is more directly associated with the tasks of precision, as in surgical instruments and data collection in electronic instrumentation and measurement instruments, navigation, seamanship and navigation. Machine tools are complex combinations of various tools run (now Computer / PC) for information obtained by instruments also embedded in them.

Jules Rimet, the FIFA president during those years, was in favor of the realization in the South American country, both for its sporting successes and the fact that the country would hold the centenary of the Constitution of the Jura. Furthermore, he believed that outside Europe could serve as a way to help the peace process after the devastating Great War that ravaged the continent.

Valkyries
The origin of the Valkyries is not documented in the existing texts, but many of the parents had known Valkyries more deadly. Today it is believed that the Valkyries were originally priestesses of Odin that informal ritual sacrifices in which the prisoners were executed ("llevados a Odín").
When it was compiled for the Poetic Edda, at the end of the twelfth century or early thirteenth these rituals had begun to legends about supernatural warrior maidens who took an active part in human conflict, deciding who should live and who will die.
In the mythological poems of the Poetic Edda the Valkyries supernatural deities were of unknown descent. Are described as squires maidens who ride in the ranks of the gods or serve the drinks in Valhalla; are given meaningful names such as Skǫgul / Skögul ( "struggle, fury"), Hlǫkk / Hlökk ( "din of battle") and Gjǫll / Goll ( "battle cry") .
However, in the heroic songs, are described as bands of warrior women, among whom only appointing the leader. This was invariably a human woman, the beautiful daughter of a great king, despite sharing some of the supernatural abilities of her anonymous.
In the first of three songs from Helgi, Helgi Hjörvarðsson is approached by a gang of nine Valkyries Sváva whose leader was the daughter of a king called Eylimi. In the second and third song, the Valkyries are led by Sigrun, daughter of King Hogni. Later, she marries the hero Helgi Hundingsbani and gives birth to their children. The most famous of the Valkyries, Brynhildr is also a human princess.
In Sigrdrífumál (The Ballad of which brings victory) is never named, being called simply Sigrdrífa (which brings victory "), and there is only evidence that was not a deity, moreover, does not speak of its descent . However, in the corresponding passage in the Saga Volsunga was identified as Brynhildr, daughter of King Budli (also identifies Sigrdrífa with another song Brynhildr heroic Helreið Brynhildar or the ride of a Bryndhildr Hel).
The Valkyries are dísir, minor female deities who served under the command of Odin Freyja in Norse mythology. Its purpose was to choose the most heroic of those fallen in battle and taken to Valhalla where they became einherjar. This was necessary because Odin needed warriors to fight alongside them in the battle of the end of the world, the Ragnarok. His usual residence was Vingólf, next to the Valhalla. This building had forty five doors through which came to the fallen heroes that the warrior cure, enjoy its beauty and where they "serve mead (or beer) and look after the tableware and drinking vessels."
It appears, however, that there was a very clear distinction between the Valkyries and normally. For example, is both a Skuld Valkyries as normally, and the Darraðarljóð, The Valkyries woven network of war. According to the Edda prosaic, "Valkyries Odin sends them to every battle.
They give death to men and govern victory. Gunnr and Rota [two Valkyries] and normally the youngest, called Skuld, always ride to choose who should die, and to govern the killings ".
Furthermore, artistic license allowed the term 'Valkyries' also applies to deaths in women in Old Norse poetry, or to quote Snorri Sturluson the Skáldskaparmál regarding the use of multiple terms for women:
Women are also metaphorically called by the names of the Valkyries or Asynjur or normally.

Sirens
They are generally considered daughters of the river-god Achelous, sometimes appointing Forcis sea god as his father. There are disparate views on who was their mother, usually the unanimous view that a fall of Musa, but the authors do not agree on which could be, Melpomene, Terpsichore, or perhaps Calíope.
These sea monsters are in the top half shaped like a woman and the lower half shaped Ave and two were originally named Agláope and Telxíope, were added later Teles, Redne, Molpe, Pisínoe, Partenope, Leucosia and Ligia. They had a wonderful voice that dared to challenge the Muses.
The competition was won by the Mets, who as punishment for their audacity, tore the feathers of their rivals. Embarrassed, the Sirens were withdrawn to the coast of Sicily, near Messina Strait. With their songs to attract the unwary sailors, unable to resist that, inevitably clashed against the rocks.
After the sinking, the sailors were devoured by the Sirens. When Ulysses passed near them, managed to evade the danger thanks to the advice of Circe. The hero clogs his crew's ears with wax, but as he wanted to hear such beautiful songs, he ordered the boat to the mast atas. In this way managed to escape the influence of magical melodies. Also near the Argonauts passed the Sirens, surviving the attempt.
When they were close to them, such beautiful songs Orfeo then, that the Argonauts were not haunted by the song of the Sirens. Only Butes was thrown into the sea in their attempt to achieve, but was saved by Aphrodite. According to an oracle, the Sirens would perish if a mortal could escape the spell of their songs. Hence there is a legend that tells of the Sirens were immersed in the sea after it passes Ulysses, after the defeat they inflicted Orpheus, committed suicide.
These female monsters were located in the boundaries of the known world and symbolize a warning of the dangers that can lurk intending to pass the border. The idea of a world of change, another unknown, led to an association of the Sirens with the world of the dead. So the gods are finally considered grave. Sang for the blessed and represent the harmony of heaven. As we often find represented on sarcophagi.
