Do you like BASKETBALL? Enjoy with Uncle Drew!
Pepsi MAX went to a pick-up game in Bloomfield, New Jersey pretending to shoot a documentary on a basketball player named “Kevin.” When his Uncle Drew came into the game, some magical things happened...
PICK-UP GAME = juego espontáneo
PRETEND = fingir
SHOOT = rodar, filmar
NBA Rookie of the Year Kyrie Irving endured hours of make-up to be transformed into an old man — ‘Uncle Drew’ — and then showed up at a street basketball game in New Jersey to school the ‘youngbloods’.
ROOKIE = novato, principiante
ENDURE = soportar
SHOW UP = aparecer
SCHOOL = instruir
At first Drew performed as an old man — little mobility, atrocious bricks and general incompetence. Then he starts to loosen up, with awesome jumpers, handling the ball like a yoyo and rising for ferocious slams while flabbergasted defenders and spectators watch in disbelief.
PERFORM = actuar, comportarse
BRICK = (ladrillo, ladrillazo). Lanzamiento con mucha fuerza que rebota en el tablero o en el aro y se va muy lejos.
AWESOME JUMPER = saltos increíbles
HANDLE = manejar
SLAM = mate
FLABBERGASTED = atónito

Gandhi studied law in London and returned to India in 1891 to practice. In 1893 he took on a one-year contract to do legal work in South Africa (...)
He developed a method of action based upon the principles of courage, nonviolence and truth called Satyagraha (...) Satyagraha promoted nonviolence and civil disobedience as the most appropriate methods for obtaining political and social goals. In 1915 Gandhi returned to India. Within 15 years he became the leader of the Indian nationalist movement.

Do you think that studying ESO-BACH is hard? Really?
Dashrath Majhi's wife, Falguni Devi, died due to lack of medical treatment because the nearest town with a doctor was 70 km away from their village.
Hence he carved a 360 feet long, 30 feet high and 25 feet wide passage through Gehlour hills with a hammer, chisel and nails working day and night for 22 years from 1960 to 1982. His feat reduced the distance between Atri and Wazirganj blocks of Gaya district from 75 km to just one km, bringing him international acclaim.
