My Journey By: Jean Paul Betancourt I hope you think I’m sane, When I tell you where I’m going, I have no map; no guidelines, As I write this little poem, But through my clumsy ways, I am hardworking and persistent, And I hope that one day, You’ll think I’m of great wisdom, But only through me succeeding, Will you ever think of that, So now I must get ready, So my journey will soon start. 👑

For the Chibcha people of Colombia, activities revolved around religion and their gods, the main one being the sun whom they called Xué. In his honor there was a temple in the Iraca Valley, where the high priest of Sogamoso lived. All subjects had to attend the Sugamuxi confederation at least twice in their lives and offer presents. The moon (Chía), considered the wife of Xué, was another of the divinities to whom a special cult was rendered. Chiminigagua, The Creator According to the legend, Chiminigagua was the creator of the universe and is considered the supreme divinity. He threw black birds, the origin of light, into the air, which later condensed into the sun, the reflection of the moon and the rainbow, called the cuchaviva. Bachué, Mother of Humanity The legend tells the story of a woman (Bachué) who emerged from the Iguaque lagoon accompanied by a 3-year-old boy. With the passing of time and once the little one had grown, they celebrated their marriage and populated the earth....

History of Bogotá, D.C., Colombia The first settlers of Bogotá were the Muiscas, belonging to the Chibcha linguistic family. At the arrival of the conquerors, it is estimated that there were half a million indigenous people of this group. They occupied the highlands and temperate slopes between the Sumapaz massif in the southwest and the Nevado del Cocuy in the northeast, in an area of ​​about 25,000 km2 that encompasses the high plateau of Bogotá, part of the current department of Boyacá and a small region of Santander. In this area, the population was organized into two federations, each under the command of a chief: the southwestern area was dominated by Zipa, whose center was in Bacatá, present-day Bogotá. The northeastern zone constituted the domain of Zaque, whose center was the Hunza region, present-day Tunja. However, the Muisca population, unlike the Tairona, did not develop large cities. The Muiscas, eminently farmers, formed a dispersed population that occupied numerous smal...

The term Andrology is derived from the Greek word, Andros which means male. It is a branch of medical science that deals with problems related to men's reproductive system and urological problems that are unique to men. It is the counterpart to gynecology, which deals with medical issues which are specific to female health, especially reproductive and urologic health. Andrology covers anomalies in the connective tissues pertaining to the genitalia, as well as changes in the volume of cells, such as in genital hypertrophy or macrogenitosomia. From reproductive and urologic viewpoints, male-specific medical and surgical procedures include vasectomy, vasovasostomy (one of the vasectomy reversal procedures), orchiopexy and circumcision as well as intervention to deal with various male genitourinary disorders. Unlike gynecology, which has a plethora of medical board certification programs worldwide, andrology has none. Andrology has only been studied as a distinct specialty since the la...

The following poem was originally written in 2007 (Age 16): Natural Creativity Written by: Jean Paul Betancourt In the wilderness of my dreams, I feel the warm lights of my sight, As I observe the leafy stems, That emerge from the roots, Of my consciousness. As I see the everlasting fruit, That are created in this nature, I step into the flowing river, And into my fountain of inspiration, And ask the sun of my devotion, To nurture these lush gardens, So that I may one day paint, On the canvas of creativity. 👑
