La Fuerza Aérea Mexicana tiene su origen en el año de 1915, cuando el entonces Jefe del Ejército Constitucionalista, Don Venustiano Carranza, convencido de las enormes posibilidades del empleo de la Aviación en Campaña, expidió el 5 de febrero de 1915 el decreto mediante el cual se crea el Arma de Aviación Militar. 

A principios del siglo pasado visionarios en el manejo y empleo militar de globos y dirigibles, tuvieron el acierto de enviar a personal militar para abundar en este estudio al continente europeo y poder utilizarlos en nuestro país. Por otro lado, hombres como Juan Guillermo Villasana López y Eduardo Aldasoro Suárez, ya se encontraban realizando pruebas con motores de automóvil y estructuras de madera y metal para intentar realizar el sueño de poder volar. 

La necesidad de inventar un aparato para realizar esta proeza, trajo la necesidad de que estos inventores, desarrollaran los conocimientos sobre diseño, aerodinámica, peso, balance y propulsión de algún mecanismo que diera la sustentación necesaria para mantener en vuelo a un aparato más pesado que el aire.

FAM 1

想 (xiǎng) and 要 (yào) are both verbs in Chinese that can be translated as "want" in English, but they are used in different contexts and convey slightly different meanings.
想 (xiǎng) is used to express a desire or inclination, often accompanied by a feeling or emotion. It can be translated as "to think" or "to wish" in English. For example:
我想去旅游。 (Wǒ xiǎng qù lǚyóu.)
I want to go traveling.
他想学游泳。 (Tā xiǎng xué yóuyǒng.)
He wants to learn how to swim.
要 (yào) is used to express a strong desire or intention, often with the idea of taking action to achieve a goal. It can be translated as "to want" or "to need" in English. For example:
我要一杯咖啡。 (Wǒ yào yī bēi kāfēi.)
I want a cup of coffee.
他要买一辆新车。 (Tā yào mǎi yī liàng xīn chē.)
He wants to buy a new car.
Note that in some contexts, 想 (xiǎng) and 要 (yào) can be used interchangeably, especially in spoken Chinese. In this case, the choice of word may depend on the speaker's style or emphasis.

Elon Musk says some scary things to Rishi Sunak about AI

New Year is the perfect time for people to try new things, like changing their diet or habits. Some people take part in Veganuary, an annual challenge where they avoid eating animal products like meat, dairy, or eggs during January.

Veganuary first started in 2014 as a fun way to explore a vegan lifestyle and see how it feels. Since then, plant-based eating has gained popularity, and it's not uncommon for restaurants to offer at least one vegan option on their menus.

But a study has found that many meat-eaters end up feeling disgusted by meat after trying Veganuary.

Researchers studied 40 meat-eaters before and after Veganuary.

They found that, although most participants went back to eating meat when the month had ended, they felt more disgusted about doing so. And people who ate the least amount of meat during the challenge felt the most disgust afterwards.

A separate 2023 study on 46 Veganuary participants found that they were much less likely to describe themselves as meat-eaters after taking part in the challenge.

Scientists suggest that this change happens because people feel uncomfortable when their actions don't match their beliefs. Many enjoy the taste and convenience of eating meat, but they also feel guilty about the cruelty of factory farming.

So by giving up meat during Veganuary, participants may start to think more about these issues and develop negative feelings toward eating meat.

This research shows that even a short-term change in behavior can change the way you think, says Natalia Lawrence, a scientist from the University of Exeter who worked on the studies.

"Normally, the idea is to educate people first to change their attitudes, and hopefully they end up changing their behaviour," she told The Guardian.

"But if you persuade people to change their behaviour for a month, it seems that these things follow."
